What was the point, obviously it's not racism but I don't get why he would open himself up to the obvious criticism?

Using a monkey as a representation of a child with black genes isn’t racist?

He means it's a performance monkey

You think it's racism, that's your problems

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

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.

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

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

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

It's sad

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

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

[bots]

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.

i'm leaning towards this as well, you don't work in the media as long as he has without having an idea of what response you are going to get

And frank isnt a racist so..
