Yeah, he's gruff, grumpy, short with people, uses a lot of swear language (why are we allowed to hear him say *******er but when he sticks "mutha" in front of it, he gets beeped!) and maybe isn't the most warm or endearing guy in the world. But is that down to his race?? I can show you plenty of people who have the same personality traits regardless of colour. Galloway's assumption is that he gets away with it cos he's black. I hate to see people assuming something about another person just cos of their skin colour. Galloway's suggestion is that people think to themselves "Oh, I should really say something to Dennis about X, but I won't cos he's black" Absolute nonsense.
Look at Dennis Rodman. He's bleedin massive, isn't it possible that he gets away with things in the house cos of his sheer physical size. Or isn't it possible he gets away with things in the house cos he clearly doesn't seem to give a **** and why would anyone start an argument with him. Why the hell is the automatic assumption is that it's cos he's black?? Hell, Pete gets away with plenty of nastiness to people and very few in the house have called him on it. Is it cos he is white?
