Isn't it Sheep of Colour now?

Not sure if joking or thick. If thick why in the hell would they call it "black lives matter" if somehow saying black was wrong?
Come on its not hard to separate the guff from the truth by simple common sense?

It was a poor attempt at a joke but by all means have at it.

Sorry, I reacted to your post having allowed the nutters before you to cloud my humor radar... It can get quite tiring in here. Apologies.

Baa baa black sheep has changed to Baa baa woolly sheep

..Seriously?!

Where on earth is the racist subtext for Baa Baa Black Sheep?

Because BLACK. You're not allowed to say black. Black is forbidden...

Oh, strewth I said it three times.

I'll be in black books now. Ohhhhhh, bugger, noooo. Is there a bunker round here?

Bunker? Is that ok? If it's whitewashed? Yes....?

Help.....

I've said already its not banned it was a made up story...Jesus people are so dense.
Did they ban the All Blacks? Or Black lives matter? Or the Black Panthers or Blacks for Trump (very real, honest)

You tread a dangerous path, my son. Beware the stealth of the Progressives. No one is safe, even in the blacknees of night...

DAMN....run for it

Because the rest of the phrase contains the N-Word?

Does it.

We used to sing this as kids to 'pick' someone in whatever game we were playing at the time.

30 years later I have still never heard it with the N word in.

We also collected the 'golliwogs' from pots of Robertsons jam, as I remember it, if you collected a certain number and sent them off you got an enamel 'golly' badge which you could pin to the lapel of your blazer or to your pullover.

The role I had in the Royal Navy was nick-named "Golly", as when the branch was first etsablished, promotions were as easy as collecting Golly badges. On one ship there was a Golly who was a "chap of colour" (is that OK?). And as such to show the diverse nature of the armed forces was always in line to meet VIPs, the look on some of the VIP's faces when he told them he was a Golly after being asked what his job is was priceless!

Sounds like an Equal Opportunities bludgeoner to me.

When I was at school (90's) the rhyme was 'tigger' (i.e. like on Winnie the Pooh, not tiger).

I didn't realise there was this old version until this kind of thing recently.

TBH I find the t-shirt more offensive because it's 1) ugly and 2) seems to glorify violence.

You find that t-shirt offensive because you think it glorifies violence?

I wonder what you'd think after a conversation in the pub with me and some mates, if you think a t-shirt is offensive?!

I think it's bad taste and not PG. I don't care what you plus mates (or me and mine) speak about in the pub as it's between adults. I expect you don't have the same sort of conversations with 8 year olds.

Maybe, just maybe, it's the use if the words in conjunction with the image. It makes the meaning and reference much less clear.

I don't think it would be an issue if it was a zombie image or walking dead logo.

Was always piggy in my days.
Heard the n version once, think it was on american history x.

Maybe the outraged posters hung around with the wrong kids at school?

It was definately 'catch a by the toe, if he hollers let him go' in my day. i also had the ' in the wood pile' as another common expresion along with the 'germans' in the rice pudding or cornflakes.

Spoiler alert, again

[Shakermaker]

was always "tinker" when I was growing up, late 80s/early 90s

In fact, I remember when a new boy joined our school and where he had been before, he used to say "piggy" and we had one of those arguments that only a 6 or 7 year old can have about whether it was "tinker" or "piggy" and both of us had to go and sit indoors during playtime for arguing during class.
