I listened to that James O'brien the day after Johnson backed Cummings and he repeated a comment he'd been told from someone who said they knew Trump and Johnson were liars and shit leaders but they supported them simply because they made people like him and other lefties so mad. I think that goes a long way to explaining it. 

 

Saw his comment today that the Mail and their readers thought they'd won control with brexit and the GE which is why they're now so angry about the slave traders - it's all about their views being held as the right ones.

Aye John Barnes was on the news last week saying that Francis shouldn't have apologised cos he was taking the piss out of Craig David and Michael Jackson just as individuals, not because they were black. 

 

Basically said he's got fuck all to apologise for. 

 

Shortly after that Barnes revealed a healthy slice of porn on his camera roll.

My favourite responses to those kind of things are always from the white people who try to argue that they know more about racism than the black person saying it.

As for removing comedy that is offensive by today’s standards, I can see the argument but I think it’s generally more important to leave things like that in view as an education tool. I’m not saying we should have Little Britain replayed at prime time on a Friday night but culture moves and is defined by the reactions to what has went before it. Learning why those things were offensive and learning how to be better in the future is a far more important way to live life than burying your head in the sand and pretending you’ve been woke all along. Like, yes, Apu in The Simpsons was a heavily stereotypical character but if anyone says they actually never laughed at the episode where Homer works in the Kwik-e-Mart because they knew it was racist all along is doing more harm than good and is as blinkered as the turbo PC Police.

Talk about racial profiling [/chanellingMonkeyFist]

 

It's strange, no network in their tight mind would now broadcast/remake Love Thy Neighbour but they let Little Britain have an actor in blackface. Seriously WTF?

Not sure if it has hit the UK yet but there is one of those facebook petitions for the US government to list the KKK as a terrorist organisation.

Yeah like that is going to happen with the orange clown behind the wheel.

Advice on racism from an Aussie. 
 

Well I never...

 

Mate it's those that are descended from the fucking English that are the problem.

 

You can read my opinion a few pages back but what the anglos have done and contine to do to Australia's first nation people is inexcusable.

FFS. League of Gentlemen removed from Netflix now, I was actually in the process of slowly watching this again when I had the odd half hour. I can only assume it's because of Papa Lazaru (the character on the program, not the corridor pisser). There's probably a case to remove everything pre-millenium. Ridiculous over reaction.

People have complained about Friends and Only fools and horses recently so I'm not surprised. 

 

Friends is too white apparently and despite OFAH having at least two black characters, having Del Boy use the harmless "ordering a chinkies" means it's beyond evil.

You can still watch it on iPlayer, JohnnyCakes.

There was someone on twitter yesterday posting about King Leopold of Belgium, who has now been canceled. He was saying that one of the worst things he's seen was a pic of a bloke in the Congo holding his 5 year old daughter's amputated hand and foot, courtesy of the King. 

 

Some absolute Jeremy Clarkson had responded arguing that that was fine cos he was a "man of his times". :lol: Like mutilating 5 year olds was just fine 120 years ago.

Can't help thinking these fuckers want to return to those "times" - look at the nostalgia for the 50s as if they were some kind of moral utopia when they really mean  they were whiter.

A lot of nostalgia is a yearning for a time and place that never existed beyond people’s imagination

Although you’re right about the racist aspect. I think that’s why most people couldn’t give a tangible benefit to Brexit when pressed
