Danny Baker.....life long Labour supporter, supporter of Corbyn.....suddenly decides one morning to go full blown 'mixed race equals chimp'?

Or perhaps he's just a bit anti royal and made a poor taste joke without connecting the dots.

I think I believe Baker.....but who cares....the BBC are very politically correct and he rides with the progressives so he gets what he deserves as they have little mercy for his sort.

But it was probably innocent.

All true, but it’s still a recognised verbal, and now visual insult, that white refer to particular black people as apes. That’s why loads of people would’ve seen the news and thought it immediately, obviously. Things like ‘jungle bunny’ and ‘monkey nuts’ and ‘being from the jungle’, ‘eating bananas’ were all used a few decades back. We know the references. It’s clear. All humans descend from apes, but it’s black people who’ve been mocked or abused for it, and for the link being a lot lot closer, as in before they boarded the boat.

My own personal laugh was how could the royals come to terms with black blood and afro hair in the family, even if he’s not going to be king. However, there doesn’t appear to be any problems, although nothing said we’ve heard about. Royalists in white enclaves however must still be shocked and frozen still at the news they were to be married.

Why not? Did you not find Alf Garnett a little bit funny?

Why do you always assume this obtuse position on race issues? You know why, it was a different era, where joking about someones race was accepted, today it isn't. Got it?

Wtf? You obviously don’t understand Alf Garnett.

I was finding it funny that SOME OF the royals or royalists might find a black person in the family difficult to accept. Is that alright with you? Actually I don’t care.

I also laughed at the monkey picture, not because I found the picture funny, but because I was laughing at it in a kind of ‘oh he’s not done that has he?’ kind of way. Is that alright with you also?

FWIW, I’ve already said why I think there’s an unacceptable, derogatory link between apes today and blacks today, so what’s your problem?

But yes, I do have issues with Islam. So what? This is a Christian country or should be a secular country with its foundations built from Christianity.

It’s good that in real life I can STILL give a wide berth to people who are willing to give away everything we pride, or perhaps have taken for granted, away by people wh don’t care, aren’t affected, or aren’t anyway near it, and/or for their illogical ideology.
