As my physical health is beginning to fail the thought occured as to what new 'ginger' nickname the majority might find for me now. 'Ginger Crip' & 'Ginger Spaz' spring to mind. I've got a fold-out bed on the floor and if they saw me try to get to my feet I'm sure 'Ginger Slug' would be an odds on favourite though 'Ginger Gimp' is running a close second - if we presume that gimps can run.
The fact is that they will as always call me something 'ginger' lest I forget I'm only 'ginger' so I thought maybe some of you could beat them at their own game and think of a new 'ginger' putdown for me.
The only rule is that the insult must contain 'Ginger' that is the majorities obligatory rule which we must follow to the letter, or they will accuse us of not 'playing the game' and because its contains the word 'ginger' it will be as hilarious as any other 'F*cking ginger c*nt', 'ginger minge' insult. Ha! Ha! Ha!
I offer a prize of a measly £1o for the best suggestion. At this moment I'm not sure how I will get it to you but if you're if interested take a shot. It should be easy Redheads are a small but highly visible target - you can't miss. I'm sure a putdown chosen by a 'ginger people' can be as hilarious & insulting as anything bland bollox can come up with.
As the Anton Du Beke ‘race row’ rages on once again the choice of language is the issue and whether darker skinned minorities should continue to be protected from pejorative, derogatory words as redheads are not. It’s obvious that the masses follow the example of celebrities and celebrities using this sort of offensive terminology encourage its use by the masses and encourages divisive and separatist thinking and behaviour. This then is often followed by confrontation and violence on the streets. Language i.e words are the way in which humans communicate with each other and while stones may bruise for a short while the scars caused by ill chosen words can often not be forgotten. If words have no power why do we all love, want to hear “I love you”? Words have great power to start wars - and to end them. All the words surrounding ‘ginger’ are derogatory or profane, it is always used pejoratively. What I find funny is that it is the average, bland, ordinary ‘normal’ person who is unlikely to attract attention themselves who wants the right to belittle, humiliate, ridicule those who do stand out from the crowd for whatever reason. The destructive power of ‘jokes’/humour is recognised which is why ‘jokes’ about all other minorities are banned. Other minorities have far greater numbers and political power and we know for a fact had a woman from the redheaded minority been insulted whether in ‘private conversation’ or ‘on air’ however vile, rude or insulting there would be no furore, or outrage voiced by anyone but other redheads. While bringing the colour of the massive Black minority into disrepute is racist and offensive ‘ginger is a joke and ginger people are only a joke and therefore cannot possibly feel insulted, or offended. The redheaded minority are told they must admit their colour is funny/silly/hilarious/ridiculous/stupid and that having chosen to be born that colour we must accept the majority right to point out DAILY how funny/silly/hilarious/ridiculous/stupid we look and are and as for the funny/stupid pubes ha! Ha! Ha! Bland Bollox might amuse Mousey Minge ripping the ‘P’ out of me. It does nothing but turn me off and of course, I have no right to reply because every derogatory ‘ginger’ insult is a ‘joke’. I don’t know any of the bland/mousey majority how is it they are sharing a joke with me?
I well remember the ‘Shock, Horror’ headlines when it was discovered Keith Chegwin had ‘ginger’ pubes.I remember too the totally negative press ‘ginger’ Tim ‘ginger’ got mostly for being ‘ginger’ in ‘Big Brother’ and they never forgot to mention in any report that he was ‘ginger’.When that well renowned raconteur and wit Jade Goody was her phenomenally funny self apoplectically screeched that she’d turned into a ‘ginger minger’ nobody batted an eye which was in stark contrast to the international furore caused by calling a darker skinned minority woman a ‘POPPADOM’.Does life reflect art or does art reflect life.Chesney got the ‘ginger’ this week, the last time someone’s hair colour was mentioned on Corrie Shaun made a ‘ginger refuge’ remark to Gary and round that time Rita made clear she was NOT a natural redhead Ha! Ha! Hee!Hee!Though I rarely watch Eastenders I tuned in to find Bradley berating himself as a ‘ginger failure’.It does seem imperative to mark out ‘ginger people’ as different, as not normal and hair colour must always be mentioned lest we forget we’re only ‘ginger’.The obligatory pubic question must be asked of every ‘ginger’.Every day some reference must be made about a ‘ginger’ person’s ‘gingerness’ it would seem.I’ve been a recluse for four years because I’m told I ‘IMAGINE’ that British society is obsessed with bringing ‘ginger hair’ into every conversation, AM I PARANOID or do I see the world as it is?Recently Loose Women were sharing some ‘ginger’ laughs even though there wasn’t a redhead in sight.On the subject of policitical correctness, yes it has gone mad.We can’t have Black jokes, Poppadom jokes, Mahatma Coat jokes, Muslim jokes, Jewish jokes, Irish jokes etc., because the destructive power of humour is well accepted and documented, however the bigoted British bully can and does unremittingly pick on the smallest global minority, the most highly visible, easy target, that does not have the political voice or power of these other so called minorities.I remain bored, rigid and kept insane and obsessed by the bigoted, British bullies obsession for talking about and laughing at ‘ginger hair’ even though I’ve rarely been outside for four years.If it is my imagination – my paranoia – how can I quite so readily quote all these examples of ‘gingerism’. Even if you are driven from mainstream society like I have been to escape ‘gingerism’ there is no real escape but death but l’ve been a bit of a ‘ginger failure’ at suicide.I guess I’ll just have to suffer until the bland bollocked, mousey minged, funny, clever majority bore me to death with ‘ginger’.
