if you have a rationale that persuades you he is a racist, that is greater than his last 40 years in the public eye, his close friends like Chris evans, everything he has said publicly in the last 40 years - then i would like to hear it

Oh his good friend James O'Brien has defended him?

So you're telling me that, Danny Baker, a DJ, Journalist and Comedian, 3 careers that rely on you being in the know and up to speed on current events and media, didn't watch any of the royal wedding or see any photos of the Royal wedding where Meghans, clearly black mother was. Never picked up a newspaper or read stories about Meghans family and the "controversy around it, where again her clearly black mother would have been pictured. And even if you believe all that is either really really unobservant (which would be a terrible trait for a journalist) or has never seen a picture of Meghan herself who looks very clearly mixed race?

Logically that seems absurd to me and a very long stretch. I'm surprised that you would take 2 of his, clearly biased friends words over logic LT

I has no idea she was mixed race when i first saw her so yes I can. And if you knew who James O'Brien was you would change your tune, believe me.


Provide me with any evidence prior to that tweet that he has one racist bone (he is 60 and has been in the public eye for 40 of those years)

just one

It isn't my job to provide you with anything LT. If you want to play devils advocate and pretend a media savvy journalist/DJ/Comedian didn't know she was mixed race, have fun but I won't be wasting any of my time in a pointless argument with you, that I wager you don't even believe yourself.

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

To be fair, James O'brien is a good guy who wouldn't defend a friend to get them out of a lie if he thought the accusations were true. That said, Danny Baker telling someone he didn't know she was mixed race doesn't mean he actually didn't know.

He did wrong, got caught, and his self preservation forced him to grasp for a convenient excuse. And here we are.
