Students want the word 'black' banned from textbooks and lectures

https://news.yahoo.com/students-want...142514068.html

“ University students have demanded the word "black" be banned from lectures and textbooks amid claims it symbolises "negative situations".

Undergraduates at the University of Manchester say the colour's use as an adjective is stemmed in "colonial history", which has become outdated in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Supporters are calling for commonly used phrases such as "black sheep" to be removed from lecture slides and books, while concerns have also been raised about "blackmail" and "black market" during a student union-led audit of racism concerns on campus.

The University said it is preparing to roll out new training and research in response to the unease in order to tackle “racist terminology” and “aggressions”.

In documents seen by The Telegraph,those studying at the red brick institution called for: “The university to ban the use of these words listed above and any other use of the word ‘black’ as an adjective to express negative connotations.”

This is because black is “linguistically and metaphorically associated with negative situations” and “used for bad and unsavoury situations or objects”.”

Isn't it easier and more accurate to just stop calling humans black? Very very few people are actually black

In mental health this is called "Ideas of Reference" which is where you think that random and unrelated events relate to you.

There is no relationship between people with black skin and nighttime, which is dark and scary, being used as a metaphor for hopelessness, etc.

Once again, crazy stupid people making headlines and being listened to.

I have always liked the theme of communism but in the theory, communism is supposed to EVOLVE, not be forced on people.

The US school system is a great example of communism. People got disgusted with rich people using kids as labor, and collectively, decided to pay for school for kids and make it mandatory. Probably NO ONE complains about kids going to school now or argues little kids should be in factories and stuff.

That's how it's supposed to go.

I don't know if there's anything legal stopping it, but I wish we could have McCarthy Hearings again to root out this fake communist stuff from entertainment and education, because it's FORCE not suggesting ideas that people like and can choose for themselves.

Now black folks aren't even allowed in textbooks? Sheesh. What regressive approaches the left seems to take, only ever hindering their own progress.

That’s it. Let’s ban white too. That’ll show em

Ban all movies pre-color era (black and white shows and photos) because it might make non-white and non-black people feel excluded and that’s racist

On the other hand,

LGBTQABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWQYZ+ is also a RACIST community for using a rainbow flag. I don’t see white or black on that flag. Racist af
