How Come This Black Actor Is Allowed To Deliver A Speech At Westminster, Surely There Are Much More Important Matters Our Mps Should Be Addressing?

/// His comments will come when the 43-year-old from London delivers a speech at Westminster, attended by over 100 MPs and senior TV executives, when he will speak about his experiences. ///

oops typed that wrong , but anyway, he was generally mocked about his space (cadet) role as a pizza delivery man

I wouldn't get in a flap. It's just the 'luvvies' getting their pound of flesh. After sponsoring and 'encouraging' him it is pay back time. ''They can make you say anything, but they can't make you believe it''

[retrocop]

Lol
//getting their pound of flesh//
I suppose there is room for a black jewish Shylock in The Merchant of Venice.
After all they bend the limits of credibility to have a black Duke of Gloucester in the role :-)

"To be honest, Idris Elba acting is middle of the road!!! "

makes you wonder then exactly why he gets some of the roles he does...oh hold on !....

[ummmm]

He's brilliant in Luther.

"suppose it beats delivering pizzas on a moped in this weather"

was clearly a racist and offensive comment to make, and you should be ashamed.

[ichkeria]

Best to ignore, Mikey, I find
If I was you I'd have stormed off ages ago so I guess I have no right to advise you on that ...

[mikey4444]

ichkeria...

I have no intention of storming off. There are few of us left-wingers here on AB as it is and the racist ramblings of a minority just shows why I and you, and the others need to continue to protest.

But it would help if others that find these comments as offensive as I do, would register their disapproval as well.

What? Our domino man is Welsh and white. (not me who orders but my son does)

[mikey4444]

Togo...somehow I don't think it was your pizza delivery man that was in the tiny mind of the poster in question.

But I expect you knew that, didn't you ?

[Svejk]

I agree with ichi. It is best to ignore mikey.

[Orderlimit]

Mikey, sorry but you have posted numerous and far worse racially abusive and offensive comments on this site but we will shall leave it at that.

As stated, Mr Elba was mocked years ago about a role he played in a movie as a pizza delivery guy, and still does get some flack over it.

[Togo]

Mikey he didn't say anything about the likely ethnicity of a pizza delivery man. He let you snap at a bait.

our pizza house run by arabs employs white gophers
I thought it was intentional

and less zapping contributions one doesnt like
and more freedom of speech please

[bazwillrun]

and here we see the left and their "im right and youre wrong" fascist attitude

"But it would help if others that find these comments as offensive as I do, would register their disapproval as well. "

truly pathetic...something youd be well advised to bear in mind is that just because something is taken down from this board, doesnt mean it isnt true...

as usual mikey cant even string two thoughts together without see racism in everything...he cant actually point out anything racist but he "thinks" it...

As you seem to think this board is about scoring points, heres the bad news....youve been well and truly beaten here and thats without even trying...youve beaten yourself....nil points

[bazwillrun]

"and less zapping contributions one doesnt like
and more freedom of speech please "

unfortunately people like mikey dont like free speech especially when it doesnt fall in line with how he thinks you should be thinking and speaking...

[Orderlimit]

just for fun guys, chill

Where on Earth is the racist element in that FGS?

[Peter Pedant]

I disagree weez what you say but I will defend to the dess your right to say eet

Voltaire I think - much less removing contributions and much more allowing the usual suspects to have their usual say
