No. Nothing of the sort. A slip of the tongue is mispronoucing Jeremy Hunts name, not using a racist phrase.
-
We'll have to disagree Rightly so, it's now a little used expression. I believe that it was not intentionally used in a racist manner.
-
A dreadful racist phrase. How is that even in her vocab? Defending her is absurd
-
why such women rush to excuse another women. I don't. I won't. It is disgusting.

Bullshit. The words either offensive or it's not. You can't have it both ways. It's used on virtually every Rap song and nothings said.
-
Well to me it's offensive so Thats my stance!!! I don't condone it in music either.....

It was a very common phrase when I was growing up. I'm sure it's just a mistake & not intended to insult.

You sound like a time traveller....Did you grow up in 1920s America?
-
It was a common phrase in the UK until the beginning of the 1980s.

Black kids were called names that would be regarded as racist now. But they didn't mind, and you played with them at break time.
-
They didn't mind? Just went home and cried in private
-
In your opinion. Fact is, those black kids were our friends. We played together, shared sweets, went fishing together. There was no malice.
-
So why call them names in the first place ?
-
Because we watched tv programmes like 'Love thy neighbour' and thought it was acceptable. We didn't even know what racism was back then.
