powers that be dont trust us

I know some words are blanked out but I assumed forum posters were blanking out the Y-word themselves.
They only did it because they couldn't trust you to spell it properly.

But in my post I just said I never use it!

This ^^^^^
Not a particularly religous man myself so maybe a lot of the hurt the word cause jewish people passes me by and the only connection I ever make with that word is to the scum supporters. I think if the jewish community and the world of football in general want to stop the use of this word then they simply have to start in shite hart lane cos if the word is offensive then it is offensive regardless of what context it is used

I havent got a problem with it, if sp*rs fans use it then as far as im concerned its fair game. Chants about the holocaust etc are totally unacceptable though

I used to use it solely for describing the totts in a nickname type way (like mancs for manure fans or mousers for Pool fans) but don't use it anymore because several Jewish Gooners have told me they find it offensive. I won't die if I don't use it - so fuck it I don't use it!

Reminds me of being at college. All the Asian kids would refer to themselves as Pakis & would even base their university choices on "how many Pakis were there"

God help any white kid who ever dared use that word though...

Exactly!
I agree with everything flash said.
Also what is this to with Gazidis, Gibbs and the other Arsenal ladies player. Trying to send a message to us? Bunch of *word censored*.
I think the kick it out campaign served its purpose to stop widespread racism.
Now they think they are the moral police whenever I see them.
Bunch of PC wankers they are, and have no place in football.
Football fans will police themselves, the rest can fuck off.

I didnt know certain words were illegal, thank fuck I live in the back arse of Ireland were words aint illegal!

I didn't even know what the "P word" he was referring to meant (now I do). I guess its a British thing?
And Spurs calling themselves **** the same as black people calling themselves n******? Its like if you are one its okay to say it, but no one else can.

btw, you can really tell this is a European forum if the word **** (not even used in the States) is blocked out but n***** isnt.
