Where did you get the idea from that Tom was black?

My understanding was that he had some black ancestry which at most made him mixed race but he was predominantly white

What is this preoccupation with his skin colour?

Is it relevant?

Not specific to Tom as I don't know him but did enjoy his posts.

Are there degrees of blackness? At what point can someone call themselves black? Native American tribes often have a formula / percentage / threshold before you can be a member of the tribe. This is largely to do with sharing in the wealth of the tribe e.g. Casino earnings.

It all gets very confusing to sad old gammon like me I'm a Heinzer.

Yes I am, click my profile.
And I'm aware. But I didn't get carded for insults. When I found that it was winding me up, I just logged out and did something else with my day

For avoidance of doubt, I am not an owner of a Jaguar and I am certainly not one to dawdle on the roads, frustrating drivers behind me.

I asked you because you posted about his colour and it was the last post.

Nice swerve though.

Why not read my post in context rather than trying to score points as everyone can see through your unsubtle attempt

It's kind of funny that if you have any black heritage you automatically get called black. Obama was half black, half white, yet appeared to disown his white heritage. I have no issue with that as it's for the individual to self identify but it seems to be a common theme.

If we choose to believe people to any extent on the channel Tom was to some degree mixed. I saw no reason to disbelieve him just as I believe him when he says his missus is Jewish.

Tom doesn't come across as dishonest and shots from the hip.

I don't try to score points. You just avoided the question.
You perpetuated the question of his colour by making the post. If you didn't consider it important then why talk about it?

We move on...

Willo, do you have a personal plate on your car? I saw a Willo style plate southbound on the A24 a few weeks back, from memory a mid sized SUV.

Driving very sensibly I may add
