Can anyone tell me....
My Grandmother became quite peturbed that I hadn't yet introduced her to my new boyfriend (mainly cos she's nuts and we'd only been courting a few weeks so didn't want to scare him off). She was convinced that the reason for this was because he was black. Cue many tearful calls to my Mum telling her to not let me go out with a black man as she didn't want any 'Pickaninny' babies in the family.

Please forgive my naivety but I thought a baby pickaninny sounded quite sweet and something to be found on a kids TV show...I think I do want one.

I should re- edit that post to say that i think i want a baby. Any colour, i don't care! If you've got one, beware! I'm going to steal it!

wait now hold up there.
you castigate me for suggesting the question, then call me out as a bitch for saying someone who finds the word 'pickaninny' sweet is a bit thick?

I hadn't ever heard the word pickaninny up until that point. I had no idea what it was. So yes its naive that i'd not heard that, but not stupid. Broken down for the sheer sound of the word itself 'Pick' 'A' 'Ninny' i thought it sounded cute. Until my mum explained what it was...
I don't think i did call you out as a bitch, other wise i would have actually used the word. I think you just didn't understand my story.

I can let you have this green one.
It's a bit smelly and you probably want a shovel and plastic bags to pick it up. Squooshy cuddle snuggles.

I'm reminded of the old, racist joke about expensive shoes,
but I'm not bringing it up, lest I upset someone.

Q. Why did the black man cross the road?
A. Because there was a shoe shop on the other side. Also, the price of shoes had become grossly inflated due to a worldwide leather shortage.

Up until now, I had only ever heard my mum use the word pickaninny! I like it but nobody ever knows what I am on about :)

I think it was Boris Johnson that I first heard use the word.
