Ah, so it’s not the people committing the racism’s fault, it’s the fault of anyone that recognises that it’s racism?

Try harder

I know Danny Baker

What do you know?

That what he did was racist

Your turn

No you think a baby monkey is racist because your mind is racist

It's sad

:facepalm:

Yikes, I don’t know why I keep biting, do you fish? I imagine you’d be great at it

You don't know who Danny Baker is

Stop baiting

This.

Do you also think the H&M jumper with a black kid with a slogan saying "coolest monkey " is also NOT racist??? :bored: .

Yes I do

That was probably designed for black mothers to stick 2 fingers up at racists to be fair.

Will the BBC sack him?


He has a Radio5 show

The problem is the
baby is half caste
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-caste

Bloody hope so I hate that show

if that is what he meant, he really should have found a better way to portray it, I am sure he could have made his point without using a monkey and the obvious connotations

If the majority think it was wrong they will make their voices heard. It will be interesting how the BBC responds to it.

Sorry my gag pic of the little fella in the posh outfit has whipped some up. Never occurred to me because, well, mind not diseased.
Soon as those good enough to point out it's possible connotations got in touch, down it came. And that's it. Now stand by for sweary football tweets

It was a genuine error of judgement and should be left at that

There have been 4 Royal births in recent years, and this was the only time he felt the need to tweet a picture with a monkey :hmph: If it was a genuine error of judgement he really needs to engage brain, his radio programme will have a spike on Saturday morning to hear him grovelling...

No I listen to Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio 70s so no thanks

And frank isnt a racist so..

I mean his options are admitting to being racist, or admitting to being incredibly stupid. And I don't mean "A stupid slip up" - I mean "it's not safe to leave him alone in a room with a fork and a toaster" stupid.

Trying to make this "other people's problem for having racist minds waaah" is toddler behaviour though so maybe it is the latter.

its all about intent isnt it and i think he is reacting to the twitter pitchfork brigade

i think his intention was clear, and the whole thing was pre-planned including the excuse he would make. He wanted to stir it up a bit and he succeeded. Don't like the guy, never have, and he can go back into his box of obscurity as far as i'm concerned. I'm sure Meghan has had to deal with a lot more than that during her life.
