StevenL 0 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 It's getting stupid now. Unfortunately they'll be a time when genuine racist acts get ignored because of all these small incidents get blown out of proportion, eventually people will get sick.

Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 no. but thats purely because they don't look like the bee gees. Just as black people don't look like other random black people that's the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3894 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Not all racism stems from hatred. A lot of it stems from ignorance or a misguided sense of superiority. Like saying all black people look the same. Thats racist because it's just stupid. Or the 19th century notion of "the white mans burden". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 One of whom was white and another who looked so much like himself it was was actually him?

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I was visiting the wife's family down in Shropshire in the summer and there were some traditional Morris Dancers on when we were visiting one of the local villages. Anyway, they were all blacked up like the black and white minstrels and apparently, so I was told, it was all to do with coal mining. It wasn't just smudges of soot like, it was proper thick caked on black oval faces so you could see why people might still think it was a bit off.

The most common contemporary explanation abandons the historic references to servitude and provides a paradigm shift. According to this view, Black Pete's dark skin can be attributed to soot gathered during his exploits up and down chimneys, delivering presents. Critics say this fails to justify the presence of Afro wigs and bright red lips, also integral to Black Pete's appearance. Hair just frizzed up in the snow I suppose...and the red lips are cos it's cold, yes that'll do, cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desmondTUTU 0 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 if i say something racist that makes me a racist or at the very least an ex-racist. given that what he posted on twitter was not racist there is no issue. to suggest that you can make racist actions and not be a racist is not possible. what taylor posted was some considerable way off racism.
