No I was agreeing with Tesco senior management that it was inappropriate and a health and sex hazard

More PC gone mad. Honestly some people really do need to lighten up and get over themselves. Always wanting to be seen as so highly principled.

in a city like birmingham, that does not shock me, they hate english culture, and marxism has ruled that city for some years now,

Ah yeah, I always love seeing 'Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains' plastered on that beautiful shrine to the big man when I change trains at Birmingham New Street. Really perks me up for the day

They would be so lucky

This is Eddie Murphy... a black man, impersonating not just a white man... but a Jewish white man.

Are we all suitably outraged??? No. Of course not.

Vile.

I think Blackface is a particularly sore issue though because of the history of it, Minstrel shows and the like. It was a part of white culture to dehumanise black people through displays like the aforementioned Minstrel shows and even things like Golliwogs. A white person wearing black facepaint like that will always conjure up images and memories of those times.
