pres-elect: What other credible evidence does he need than the racial slur she mentioned? Abeg, if he has good lawyers, they will let him walk. When you make racist comments against someone you barely know, it's common knowledge for instincts to kick in leading to violence. How I wished this outcome would have been different... |

The only time you find them form any kind of alliance is when they are fighting silly remarks from ignorant people.

Again another inferiority complex twart. im a nigerian based in the UK and yes.. im proudly nigerian, i look like a nigerian, eat like one, speak like one and dress like one. surely the woman have some issues with nigerians hence she used that word, .. as most white people are, she thinks all black people are nigerians, yet u see sell-outs like this foo.l jumping to conclusions dancing to the tune of an illiterate woman who thinks all black people are nigerians.

coogar: Ok o, me I don't know U.K. law but an assault will pretty much carry penalty of community service or worst case 30days + anger management. Anyway, I still see throwing a deadly weapon (bottle) at someone carries more weight than the actual punching. |

shymexx: underground trains have cctv cameras don't they? someway somehow they would get to the bottom of this. he should have just carried on dissing her - the dude messed up jare but his legal aid would claim he's been drinking all day. if he's a first offender he would get a slap on the wrist and sweep Peckham housing estate for 650 hours without pay! manny4life: it's more likely to be a plastic bottle..... the boy is way more guilty. regardless of what the woman must have said to him, you don't punch a woman. it shows total lack of respect....10 yrs ago, the other men on that train would have beaten the boy bluish blackish but today's britain is different. the mantra is mind your own business! 1 Like |

coogar:Not so fast.What does the law say about provocation,racial prejudice and discrimination?All these will have to be taken into account.You don't just throw people into jails like that. On Provocation; Where on a charge of..... there is evidence on which the jury can find that the person charged was provoked (whether by things done or by things said or by both together) to lose his self-control, the question whether the provocation was enough to make a reasonable man do as he did shall be left to be determined by the jury; and in determining that question the jury shall take into account everything both done and said according to the effect which, in their opinion, it would have on a reasonable man. On Race relations,Prejudice and discrimination; Where, on the hearing of the complaint, the complainant proves facts from which the tribunal could, apart from this section, conclude in the absence of an adequate explanation that the respondent— (a)has committed such an act of discrimination or harassment against the complainant, or (b)is by virtue of section 32 or 33 to be treated as having committed such an act of discrimination or harassment against the complainant,the tribunal shall uphold the complaint unless the respondent proves that he did not commit or, as the case may be, is not to be treated as having committed, that act.] Everything will be taken into consideration.And not just the pummelling the lady received.In any event,the bloke might not get off lightly |

coogar: Perceives it? It's not what the woman thinks, it's what the law states. I mean the term white and princess, two words are not racist, just like black and princess, and even in the context (he stepped on her) and she was whining like a little bit.ch, its not racial. What the law should interpret is simply that as a princess, no one can unknowingly step on you. 1 Like |

The most pertinent aspect of the whole exchange is that to be a Nigerian (and smelly one at that) is now an epithet/slur in itself. They boy could be from anywhere, from Angola to Zanazibar (originally), however she was just reminding him that he is still a smelly nigger-area as far as she was concerned now. He held himself up with dignity and when it came to the barbs, flamed her as you could tell it was not her mother tongue. However, it just highlights the foolishness of tribalism on these boards. When they share money for Aso rock, no one is asking about about indigene wahala. 1 Like |

Can a white man b racially abused? Aint words like "Wigger", "Pelly", "Burb-Nigga", "White trash" , "Chinko" derogatory words used against d whites and I don't see dem get offended or overly truculent as shown by the Blacks. |
Re: 'Smelly Nigerian': Racist Confrontation On London Train by coogar: 11:43pm On Jan 10, 2013 |
shymexx: the word "white" in that statement carries weight! white = ethnic group, no? ethnicity plus princess to describe a woman during a heated exchange is a racial slur. you have to look at the context in which he used it. he's not wooing her or asking her out. it was meant to be an insult! manny4life: in the uk, it's what the recipient thinks about it. if a white person calls me a nigga and i am not offended about it - then there's no offence. that's the way it rolls on this side of the planet! if the woman claims she felt racially insulted with the word "white princess" then the boy would go down! 1 Like |

@denzel, to understand your argument, in the context of argument between both parties, white princess becomes a racial slur but in the media, and entertainment concept, it's acceptable? However, you forget that the term "smelly Nigerian" isn't accepted in whatever form whether argument or for entertainment purpose. |
