Read some ads on here. It's amazing how many cannot adequately differentiate between nouns, adjectives, and verbs (i.e. domination, dominant, and dominate).

That could be entertaining.

My brain interpreted this as “No Coloreds Allowed” > racist.

I am familiar with the term "colors" for gang / biker colors, but have never seen “No Colors Allowed” and was not familiar with this concept, despite having dated bikers and seen the movies Colors, Warriors, etc.

We wore this on Jackets (mostly denim jackets), T-shirts and sweaters. Any item of clothing that bore this insignia was commonly referred to as "colors".

If we had to go through a neighborhood whose denizens were members of a different fraternal organization, we knew that "flying our colors" was a bad move if we didn't want any trouble. Frequently, when we discussed these things amongst ourselves, we would say "no colors, guys".

I guess no American has ever heard Old Glory referred to as "the colors"? Perhaps they've also never heard of the small element of people who carry Old Glory referred to as the "color guard"?

I didn't know we had so many ostriches around here.

I've seen signs on biker bars which say "No Club Colors Allowed," which makes the meaning a bit more clear than just "No Colors Allowed." However, this is the first time I've ever heard the word "colors" in this context interpreted as racist.

I think it just goes to show how much we need to gauge and measure our word choice so as to not potentially give the wrong impression. On the other hand, these kinds of overreactions can be just as harmful.

This guy can get offended, if he wants. I find it humorous that he got offended over misunderstanding the sign. I'm also glad that he didn't do something really stupid and get himself into a lot of hot water.

What is really, truly worse, is that some people seem to think that they have a right to not be offended.

Do street gangs still wear Colors ? I thought that went out in the 70's with The Warriors movie. It would make them an easy target for the police to spot. I know they might wear a certain color shirt, hat or bandana, I did not realize they wear vest with their insignia's on it. Maybe outside the U.S. ?



They still wear them here. In fact I had 3 walk into the store this past weekend. They looked very cool all dressed up in black although I admit it kinda killed the effect when they left and got into a buick that looked like something my grandma might have drove. I am still not sure how the one fit in there. He was one big dude.

I am trying to understand what point you are making here. I looked at the post you replied to and that didn't help because it was in reply to your post that said "...". Maybe you can help out and explain what you are trying to say.

but poor grammar broadly,


That's really awkward sentence construction.

Eubonics

Eubonics? Is that the speech favoured by the ex-boxer Chris Eubank? Or do you mean "ebonics"?

Also, you shouldn't have capitalised it.

In English we capitalize names (even of different languages). So, capitalizing "Ebonics" is absolutely correct, if we consider Ebonics to be a language. I know I consider it to be its own language.
