Lenny Henry

Apologies if there is already a thread on this, but does anybody else think that Louis' comparing paije to Lenny Henry was bizarre, if not a little offensive?

depends how you take it I suppose. If he said it because they're both chubby and black then yeah or else it could be cos they're both happy, fun loving types

well my reaction was what the hell, he s nothing like lenny and think it was only because they were black and it was bordering on racism a little bit, i know he probably didn't mean it that way but as my mother always said think before you speak, something i haven't perfected yet ;)

Louis does tend to come out with some bizarre things though, that's why I love him:joker:

Yeah, that was my reaction too.. I don't really think it was racist, but he more or less said you're fat, black and jolly. If he had compared him to a another black SINGER, I wouldn't have even thought about it, but to say he was just like Lenny Henry imo, was completely random and a wee bitty crappy :)

It's only deemed racist when a black person is compared to another black person, never when a white person is compared to another white person!
