Gammon is no more a derogatory word for white as urban describes black people.

I didn't realise "British right-wingers who get very red in the face when arguing their point" were considered a race?
Though I agree too much mockery of Christianity goes completely unchecked/is actively encouraged (plenty of it on these very forums, in fact) in comparison to how other religions are treated.
Who uses the term "urban" to describe black people?
I'm not getting drawn into this one again
But here is a link to help educate you.

Yup, I didn't use it as a term for black people, that didn't stop the logically challenged posters though.
Exactly, so we took mod rule and have agreed that it doesn't mean black on OCUK, it just means city dweller. I think that puts OCUK 'centre-right' but not quite as 'right' as GBeebies.

Link to this craziness? Must have missed that huge backlash of lefties.
Am i missing something here? You implied in this post that urban isn't a very derogatory term to call black people.
And then post this link that states it is a derogatory term that music industry is trying not to use.I'm not getting drawn into this one again

Also from your article
Maybe you need to read your own link.
To top it off you didn't actually answer my question. The link you provided is about black musicians unless you believe that all black people are aspiring musicians?
Like someone who enters into a thing part way through, you are asking all the right questions, just at the wrong time and being sarky to the wrong individual.
Thread here - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/threads/violence-in-selfridges-and-drill-music.18928278/ first sentence first post. Enjoy the best read of your life. It is a bit MI5 like though, as half of my posts were redacted to create a safe space for one of the other posters.
As it was "All the lefties" then at least we can count them and finally answer the question as to just how many of these lefties there are on the forum.

I don't remember getting outraged. Maybe I'm not a lefty, as we have it on good authority that it was ALL lefties!

Urban gammons... "mind blowing"

I think you know it is generalisation that people on the left find the term derogatory towards black people. Indeed according to one it is basic level 1 dog whistle. Yet gammon is totally fine, an actual insult based on skin colour. It should be anathema to them surely?
As far as I can follow urban wasn't considered to be used in terms of skin colour (per Dowie) and is therefore fine, and gammon wasn't used in terms of skin colour so must be fine as well using the same logic. So.... what's the problem using gammon (or urban)?

Have read the first few pages of this thread.
I tuned in last night and was hit with adverts for ages. Then it was like the whole channel was in HD, but the camera feed of Mr Neil seemed to be in Low Def/Bandwidth.

Nor does 200sols
Which was his reply to some obvious hyperbole in another thread
Man from Hampsire doesn't deem "urban" to refer to black people stabbing each other as typical for them - racist, but does take umbrage at gammon. Who'da thunk it?!
