im making a case exactly the same as one of the UKs most respected left wing journalists is doing right now on the most popular news radio station

i am not pretending anything but by saying I am make you feel better then knock yourself out

This is a debate forum so calling it a pointless argument is rude

and I would wager no one knows that animals dressed as humans often is a theme on his radio shows and that he collects pictures of such things (all animals)

no course not one did

who wants context when you can just name call and get the pitchforks


:rolleyes:

I don't actually know the guy but he's either racist or really really bad at his job so either way deserves to be fired it would seem :think:

Probably some long winded version of ‘he’s not racist, you’re racist for thinking it’s racist’

Yeah, I realise. I'm actually glad he doesn't understand the way his own post could be misconstrued. It shows the generations coming after yours, and then mine, aren't even aware of some of the old school racism from the past.

Liam - spade was a derogatory term used to describe black people.

Shaun 09-05-2019 10:53 AM

I like how Meghan's race is now "possibly not common knowledge" despite it probably being the fuel of 2000 Daily Mail articles this past three years, lol

No excuses are going to be considered now, everyone's already got their pitchforks out.

Liam- 09-05-2019 10:57 AM

Well that’s unfortunate, the difference being is that what I said is a general term used probably on a daily basis around the world because it has a whole new meaning, using a picture of a monkey to depict a mixed race person will always be racist and everyone knows that

He can go back to Talk Sport Radio.

Crimson Dynamo 09-05-2019 10:58 AM

It was a genuine mistake and a joke about class

poor guy is distraught

arista 09-05-2019 10:58 AM

Yes of course
he will be thrown under the bus

bots 09-05-2019 11:03 AM

posting the picture doesn't necessarily mean that he is a racist. I think his motivation was to get attention by creating controversy. Even if you put racism to one side, posting a picture of a monkey is not a nice thing to do to new parents who are rightfully proud of their new offspring. He wanted attention and used the couples status to get it.
