CANDICE DTD WAITRESS

[G1BTW]

For immediate release

The sudden change of attitudes with President Elect Obama, about to take the
highest office in the USA and become what is regarded as the most powerful
man in the world.

Miss Black Britain has never been more important or prevalent to issues
here in the UK and fashion industry, with a continuous attitude of Fashion houses,
labels and Model agencies flatly ignoring Black Models, Miss Black Britain hopes
to change the attitudes and perceptions of what can only be called a deliberate
white wash of Mainstream culture.

" If Obama can make president of The United States of America then it is a sign of
changing times, and that we have to move with the times.

If a nation has voted a black man to lead them, then surely they wouldn't see a black model
fronting a face of a campaign and decide not to buy a product!

There is a constant argument that black models do not sell products to consumers, however
within high fashion nobody has actually tried and tested it!

The same argument was often said that there would never be a black leader in the
western world, however there is one now."

Aneka Johnson Founder of Miss Black Britain.

press release cliff notes. 'if a black man can become president then we believe there's no reason why a black woman can't win miss black britain'

[Woodsey]

Can someone put me right on what is acceptable between 'black' and 'coloured'? Aparently there was a complaint somewhere because someone was called coloured - is that wrong? Is 'black' the new brown...?

Mixed race is meant to be the correct term now, also don't use half caste that was standard a few years back.

I remember when I was working in the states a few years back I asked a black waitress for a 'white' coffee, fking hell you should have seen the evils I got, coffee with cream is the correct terminology apparently.

hehe, in french africa you couldn't really order a coffee with cream as 'cafe au lait' coz the latter is now predominantly used for a person of mixed colour.

"You know when it comes to racism, people say: " I don't care if they're black, white, purple or green"... Ooh hold on now: Purple or Green? You gotta draw the line somewhere! To hell with purple people! - Unless they're suffocating - then help'em." M Hedberg RIP

Using 'mixed race' now actually makes you worse than Hitler - 'dual heritage' is apparantly the term du jour.

Is this whole thread a promo for 'How racist are you on Channel 4 tonight?'

Sorry gotta draw the line with that bollox, never heard anyone say that ever........

[ScottMGee]

On a side note could you give me your definition of Urban Music?

nope, but according to the mobo website the mobos was set up to promote urban music, so why not call it the urban music awards.

He better never call me white then as I'm mixed heritage in that case, and I'll sue for racism if I hear it.

A mate of mine who's half jamaican just rang me and I remembered to ask him about this. He laughed when I said dual heritage and said 'I'd think you were a dickhead and didn't ever interract with black people if you said that to me'.

I know, the PC brigade should just GTFO, drives me frickin nuts sometimes..........

Lets take this all a stage further, I see all of these Ethnic groups set up to celebrate a particular culture, these have now trancended to business clubs and awards. I see Business groups for the " asian business  club" or the Afro Anglican business club / Awards, hell i have even seen a Womens busniess club for women only.

All of which i have no problem with, I have differing opinions on each but I have no problem, I do have 1 question though, Why do they need to be seperate and segregated. Now I cant deny I am white, I have a mixed Scottish, Irish and Italian bloodline, But What puzzles me is why do WHITE males not get an invite to a special club?

if I started a White male business club. or a White music festival, or a group or party that only catered to white males I think my Balls would be toasted before I got my first invites out.


Why is that so wrong?



( BTW, I dont want a white men only club, or do i ever want one, It all seems like too much hastle, I just cant fathom why it would be so WRONG since its the only one not really out there and in your face.)



Ohh aye, and best of luck to Candice, you are a looker babe, take it down.
