Is Danny Baker a Racist.

[Vinty]

Danny has been sacked by the BBC for tweeting a picture of two Royals and a baby chimp.
He says he has been misinterpreted and he was only trying to make a point about class and not race.
He can't be so dum as not to realise how his tweet would go down in race obsessed Britain.

Define "race".

 

[Brigadier]

He is now.

 

[SammyInnit]

If he is or he isn't, I'd like it if the BBC were at least consistent.

 

[EFLImpudence]

Define "race".

Race:

That pertaining to Archie which is said to be mixed.

That pertaining to Archie which does not apply because his mother was born in the USA or is catholic or jewish.

He is a f*****g prat. Why on earth do these so called "intelligent" people keep their brains? Doesn't matter what your views are to make something like that public just makes me wonder what they were thinking. He isn't the first "public figure" to let his mouth run away but what makes them think they will get away with it.

Only a racist would see a link between a chimpanzee & a mixed race child.

 

[Vinty]

Britain today is packed full of people who go out of their way to be offended.

Obviously,he is!

 

[durhamplumber]

Only a racist would see a link between a chimpanzee & a mixed race child.

I disagree

 

[durhamplumber]

Britain today is packed full of people who go out of their way to be offended.

I agree

 

[ellal]

Only a racist would see a link between a chimpanzee & a mixed race child.

Or perhaps only a racist wouldn't want to see that link?

Since racists themselves could be mistaken for the 'missing link'

 

[Bosswhite]

His remarks were Treason , years ago he would have been thrown in the Tower and beheaded for saying a Royal baby looked like a chimpanzee !!!!!

 

[Ihavenojob]

Or perhaps only a racist wouldn't want to see that link?

WTF?

 

[noseall]

race obsessed Britain.

I think you'll find a lot of foreign racist football hooligans use monkey chants as a way of demeaning black people. They like to throw banana skins onto the field also.

Perhaps vinty is naïve.
