//Even if Danny Baker didn't see the image as being racist, the fact that my own mind immediately saw a monkey and thought of black people made it a racist tweet. I am so relieved that the BBC did the right thing and sacked him for what happened in my own mind when I saw the tweet.//
I have never looked at a monkey (actually an ape in this case) and made a connection with black people...perhaps, just perhaps neither has Danny Baker.
