chartpolski 20,409 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 When the film is shown on BBC, the name "Nigger" is overdubbed with the name "Nipper". They started this some time ago. Cheers. 2 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Gain 1,759 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Thing is that they pick and choose what to be offended by. Years ago if you had a black cat or dog there was a good chance it would be called Nigger, Sooty, Sambo, Blackie etc. I take it they are offended by the term/name Sambo, I wonder what they are going to do with the inscription on 'Sambo's Grave', at Sunderland Point near Morecambe... I know the answer... Nothing, because it was the name of a black cabin boy who was buried there, and they would no doubt play the 'slavery' card for good measure. We should not be re-writing our history to appease them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
