^Only in gromitland is that what she's saying.
Even her handful of defenders are taking the line, ' She's suffered from racism all her life so she's entitled to give a bit back'.

Does anyone think that in this day & age we should all be classed as Brown People ? after all a lot of us whites spend a great deal of time in the sun trying to get brown so it stands to reason we must like the idea of being brown rather than white. Also I think that the name of where we live should now be altered by law from Great Britain to Afro/Indianopia.

/// It is best to read more than one source of a news item, especially if the source is a newspaper which are not required to be unbiased or impartial. ///

And one cannot blame the Daily Mail for being bias, because they just report it as it is, Pro-Tory or Anti-Tory, also attacks whether on blacks or whites (after all wasn't it the Mail who campaigned for the arrest of the Stephen Lawrence's killers)?

If you are looking for bias, look no further than the Guardian.

Perhaps it is because they never seem to play 'the race card', in fact I don't believe they even own a pack.

Believe me it gets played, AOG, there wasn't half a row over their toothpaste brand, 'Darkie' that became 'Darlie' overnight - a Hong Kong and Guangdong brand/market......

I don't think it was the Chinese who were playing the 'race card', once again they inadvertently upset the sensitivities of those black folk.

Reminiscent of the lable being changed on Camp Coffee.

And we won't even go down the Robinson's Jam label road.

*** Groups of African Americans, religious groups, and Colgate-Palmolive shareholders began to band together in banning the product. As reported by the New York Times, the chairman of Colgate-Palmolive at the time stated that the logo and name would be changed to reflect the company’s will to recognize the sensitive nature of the situation. ***

She seems to obsess about white folk...obsessing about peoples colour is usually the sign of someone with racist tendencies.

To summarise, 'white flight' is understandable, but someone who enjoys living in a diverse community is somehow 'racist'?

Could you say "Hello" o Alice for me. I believe she may be over there with you through the looking glass.

To summarise doesn't mean to make things up, sp.
