his comments may be out dated accordng to him, but he js fully aware that it is racist now. He was warned by BB the first time so should have abstained the second time.

It's neither. It's inaccurate to use a Nigerian term on people who are not from Nigeria, but the feeling of insult is part of the psyche of the individual being insulted.

If people called me Frenchy, and I'm from England I am not insulted. My psyche is tolerant of the wording.

Also the first time he used the word he was talking like he was talking to a slave which is highly racist

No i don't agree, as Smudgie said, he is fully aware of the connotations and the consequences he would receive if he used them

He didn't, he used the second term you've posted twice, both in different conversations.

I agree that it was outdated. The second time he was recalling a situation, word for word and thought if Frank Bruno hadn't minded, it was OK.

I would give him the benefit of the doubt there.

I am of an older generation, I have to correct my mother at times over her references, which were perfectly acceptable in her earlier life and are a no no now.

So many things are different and if you were brought up to think things were right or wrong then, only to find the total reverse is correct today, some older people need to know what is acceptable and need to be informed.

Who knows, many of the things we find acceptable today might not be the case in the future and we will have to modify our thoughts again.

He said Negro not N***** and it wasn't filtered as it's not seen as an offensive term seemingly.

Its literally the embodiment of racism. The people who are defending him in anyway are shameful.

The context in which he used the word the first time was worse but it was the same word, I'm 100% sure of that
