I am pissing myself laughing at Davidson and Manning being used as examples in this thread. You lot really don't get it do you. They are from an era when their humour was rightly or wrongly considered acceptable. It's similar to a Sun Page 3 calendar being hung on the office wall when I started work in 1976 when it was considered OK.
Of course there are racists around, and no doubt there are on this site. Arguably we all have a touch of racism about us - think about who you would or wouldn't want to move in next door to you.
Go and work with some young people for a while and learn and admire how much more they embrace multi cultural society than the preceeding generations.
Davey Bee I really hope this thread isn't keeping you awake at night - there are keyboard warriors that think it is OK to cross the line in hyperspace (it isn't) but are actually generally OK when you meet them - even off this site (IanRobbo accepted). Let's face it, anyone who posts on here obviously has no friends or anything better to do.;-0))
Personally I think anyone who posts a joke/comment based on colour/creed/race is a bit of a knob for what it's worth. Which in fairness isn't a lot.
So I pledge from this day forward to set an example by not baiting my ferret keeping, benefit scrounging friends from Eeeeh Bah Gum Oooooooooooooop Ecky Thump North any more.
Again, for what it's worth, let's hope another Bird owner isn't driven away from this site by the words of a few.
Manning was never funny but you can still buy his Dvd's which are uncensored.
My wife worked with young people, they don't like anyone who don't speak gangsta, innit.
When we were at war with the Germans did anyone say "don't call them Krauts or squareheads, it's racist"?
If I find something funny I will share it so others may also find it funny, those who don't or are offended by it, tough shit, it's only words.
British soldiers are being killed by Muslims, that is offensive.
I do like the way you mixed Yorkshire & Lancashite together, Eeeh bah gum & Ecky thump.@tu*
If someone is offended by the op then they are obviously out of their depth riding a big bike without stabilizers.
Let's get some perspective on this, no offence was intended by the op, things are posted on here that some may be offended by, that's life grow a pair & deal with it instead of bleating.
Shock, horror, there are racists breathing the same air as us.
Today I have worked with one person who has an aversion to dwarves & another who hates clowns.
This doesn't mean that they want to maim or kill them or even that they would abuse them.
