I switched on the VPN and looked it up. To save you the bother, it's a derogatory and archaic name for someone who's one-eighth Afro-Caribbean.

I don't know what cultural connotations it has in this instance.

That's ridiculous - surely octa means eight of, not an eighth, they should be using 'quavers' instead?

That audio recording just reminds me of Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder.

In weather forecasting an octa is a unit equivalent to one eighth of the sky, used in measuring cloud cover.

You all would probably get pretty wound up when you get home from Chick-fil-A and find there's no straw in the bag too.

By the time he's finished with us, we'll all need a straw to eat our chicken through.

Has anyone done one of those unfunny downfall videos with this yet?

Richard Spencer may be interested to know that a pulmonary hematoma is a collection of blood within the tissue of the lung. It may result when a pulmonary laceration fills with blood. A lung laceration filled with air is called a pneumatocele. In some cases, both pneumatoceles and hematomas exist in the same injured lung.

I too was interested, purely academically of course, to read of this physiological occurrence.

I wish I could remember where in my childhood I did the module on old-fashioned racist terms for different fractions of race mixing: octoroon, quadroon, etc. There were probably pirates involved, and wenches.

I remember reading all those terms in James Lee Burke's crime novels set in Cajun Louisiana which dwelt a lot on race.

Ah well fair enough then, glad they've got their racist etymology up to snuff. Bit dissapointed in the meterological lads not having anything after octa though. Octasky, Octafirmiment,

If there's one constant in the post-WWII ultra-right, it's that they reach some sort of critical mass of popularity, which sends them all a bit power-mad and they start murdering each other (from George Lincoln Rockwell to Combat 18 - it's uncanny). When they adopted the leaderless resistance approach, there was less chance of this, which was worrying and depressing, but the alt-right seem to be reverting to type (see also: Proud Boys, Identity Evropa) - keep on keepin' on, chaps!

I used to find the infighting and various splinter factions of the BNP fascinating around peak-BNP time (Griffin era). Dare I suggest that there is a tasteless knock-about farce to be made about this era, their various ham-fisted attempts to appeal to disaffected Euro-sceptic Tories, disillusioned old Labour working class union men, and their core audience of unrepentant racist old men without alienating any of them - and the various PR disasters that happen every time one of their core elite squadron of tattooed barely-reformed football hooligans opens their mouth near a TV camera. It'll be race hate-arious!!

Speaking of which, what happened to Nick Griffin?

Quote

In March 2017, Griffin expressed a desire to emigrate to Hungary within six months. In May 2017, Griffin was banned from Hungary as he was perceived to be a "national security threat", according to security sources cited in the Hungarian weekly newspaper Magyar Narancs.

My favourite Nick Griffin moment: Nick's racist cookery show

edit: skip to 10mins for a history of English cooking, and a funny (accidental) reference to the NNoCN Tory Conference sketch 'I like curry, but now we've got the recipes, do we really need them?'

bgmnts · « **Reply #54 on:** November 05, 2019, 04:25:09 PM »

Oh god i remember this. Even at the time I remember thinking it was the Rowan Atkinson Tory "now that we have the recipe do we really need them to stay?" taken seriously.

thenoise · « **Reply #55 on:** November 05, 2019, 04:26:26 PM »

Ha ha, pre-empted my edit :) yes it really is.

It's quite a nice kitchen though.

You say Spencer is a racist but can any of you actually give an example of his racism? No you can't. I WIN.

EDIT: Richard Simmons, Richard Spencer, same thing.

Glad I'm not the only one!
