"positive" racism
27 Answers
Has anyone else seen that they're going to remake Love Thy Neighbour, but the black people will be affluent and cultured, and a white trash couple are going to move in next door, much to their horror. The programme directors are happy because "it will be the first true positive representation of black people on TV".
1. balls to it being a "first"
2. so you can only be racist against black people, white people cannot be discriminated against?
3. showing black people as discriminating against others, rather than being discriminated against, is a positive thing????
I'm sorry, this *really* annoys me. I hate racism in any form, but as a white person who used to live in Moss Side in Manchester (the rent was cheap!) I know white people can be discriminated against, and it's about time people worked together to eradicate racism in ALL it's forms! (Rant over!)

Sp - no, it's from a Radio 4 show called Heresy, fronted by David Baddiel. The idea is to challenge received opinions, in this intance, 'PC has gone mad' and Germaine Greer duly did, Harry Enfield told a mad story about how comics used to have to be approved before they could appear in GLC licenced comedy clubs and therefore would all slate Thatch just to get in, and then the bit you have is by the stand up comedian Stewart Lee.
It's great, isn't it?

Regarding your link WaldoMcFroog, who was this person who was so keen to accuse the other side of telling complete lies? How do we know that his little story of being driven round by his grandfather at the age of 4, and the remarks made by his teacher was not also complete lies? What proof have we that what he said was true?
Caling people a bunch of idiots because they dare to have an opinion, was typical of the rudeness of these individuals, and what we have come to expect from the far left, when they are not intelligent enough to put forward a decent argument.
I wouldn't bother to go into raptures over this load of garbage sp1814, if you wan't to be credited with any form of intelligence.

Gosh, AoG, it's a fine point. (Smethwick, 1964)
I wonder how we could prove whether such a slogan was ever used? (General Election)
Is there any sort of tool that is at our disposal that would allow us to search for information of this kind? (Peter Griffiths)
Ideally, users could enter key words or phrases and view matching results. (Tory).
By the way, there is a level of (presumably) unintentional genius irony in following your second paragraph about how it is a failing of the left to call people idiots for having an opinion with another one suggesting that if SP didn't want to be accused of being an idiot, he'd better not have an opinion.
I know which one of you I think is an idiot.

You'll be even less impressed to find out that the gentleman on the sound clip is Stewart Lee...who wrote the infamous 'Jerry Springer The Musical'.
Now...the problem you face with arguing with Mr Less,is that JSTM is probably the least PC West End production in living memory.
I happen to like Stewart Lee a lot. He has fire in his belly...like Mark Kermode (the film critic who should have been given Film 2007, instead of the useless Jonathan Ross).
