I blame Stormzy, he massively pushed to have the bloke fired.
Problem is that loads of honky's have black heroes and so are often dressing up as them, but basically black people are fairly racist as a whole and so when it comes to liking famous people, they will only ever worship fellow black people, as otherwise they'd be white'ing up for fancy dress as well and it would work both ways equalling no issues.
Not hard to see when a costume is racist or not, so it's sad that such instances get thrown into the pile alongside monkey chanting and the other disgusting shit.

If only we could use this weaponised device to remove the insufferably unfunny cunt David Baddiel from public life for his Jason Lee impression.
Maybe get Rob Newman to execute him live on telly, finally there would be a TV show worth watching.
Sadly it won't happen as the game is rigged for the likes of him against us.

What is the difference between a white guy or girl blacking up for a fancy dress party, than a bloke dressing u as a woman or a little black girl dressing up as a white disney princess?

I went to the Hong Kong Sevens a few years back with a black girl and a mixed race girl, I dressed up as Mr T from the A Team and had a fat suit on, gold chains, mohican the lot. The mixed race girl also put all the make up on and blacked me up.
I was speaking to her a little while back and she has now decided that what we did was racist and wrong.
She always had a touch of the "markles" about her even back then saying i wouldn't know what it was like as i wasn't a person of colour, she was never racially abused but felt she needed to play the victim and stand for the cause.
However 8 years on she now needs to be part of the victims that are now offended by it.
Surely she would have been offended all those years ago when she had the same views, but aparently not.
Not sure what the moral of the story is, but i blacked up, i'm not racist, we all had fun, but people today are far too fucking picky about a problem that isn't there just so they can now be offended and blame someone.

Should be jailed and stripped of all his possesions and wealth, this is the thin end of the wedge, how dare he THINK he has offened millions of people and caused them shame.
Hanging is too good for him.

I think its best for him to get out of the spotlight and kill the story. He'll be back in a few years as he is pretty good at what he does.
I'd be shocked if he isn't running a major in another territory in a few years or back in Europe.
Pretty dumb thing to do, but I judge things in context and how things were at the time. (otherwise half of the tv execs would be arrested for love thy neighbour!). It's also its best to judge a person by what his peers think and I doubt any of them think he's some hardened racist.
But we must all play politics sometimes.. its the way of the world.

Iām sure it does.
However, anyone with a brain cell finds ALL of these stories āstrangeā, or more accurately, fucking ridiculous.
You are part of the group ā who do not fit into the aforementioned possessors of brain cells - who normally applauds calling out things like this as āracistā, and as such are a contributor to these sorts of ridiculous attitudes. Until you have an extremely tenuous āpersonal connectionā to it ā then itās strange, and wouldnāt have happened in the past.

it's no different to any of the other 100s of stories of its kind - the fact it takes you to 'know of' the victim of this sort of shit says more about you than it does about anything else.

I find this story strange. I know of the bloke and lots of people like him can be very āoutgoingā. He has signed some big black British acts and would always have been around a lot of ethic diversity and attitudes. The general response from black British musicians has been ā is this for real?ā. ā Worlds gone madā. So, something has happened that has weaponised this for someoneās purpose as is usually the case but you canāt imagine this being a thing in the past.

We live in strange times, everything is offensive to someone somewhere.
Read Rod Liddles book called " whining monkeys ", he explains it nicely.
