Black Pullover Racism

[Khandro]

I'm wearing a black cardigan with a collar at the moment , which when I go out with my dog early each morning, as the temperature is around freezing, I zip it to the top and pull it over my chin. Am I a racist?

Interesting, I am of the age that I had Golly's but it never crossed my mind when looking at the picture, neither did the Black and White Minstrels. I put the red down to a 'lipstick' look

Bottom line though it is an overpriced ugly garment.

And I bet only a minority complained, but as usual, the minority always wins !! It's a horrible jumper btw !

"the minority always wins"

That's rarely true

Incorrect Spath. Generally it is a "Twitter Frenzy" that drives this sort of thing, and a frenzy is a very small number.

Social Media distorts mainstream thinking and allows all nutters a platform. In the old days these nutters had to put pen to paper you really have to be wanting to complain if you have to do that!

Always true.

I would simply regard the jumper as one of the ugliest garments I have ever seen, and people who buy it deserve everything they get.

If I put my mind to it, I could see it as racist, but I wouldn't bother - the crime against fashion would be enough.

The main question is, of course, are you 'the greatest dancer?'

If so, carry on.
