"He said the PM was racist, to be fair there’s a pretty large body of work of his own words and actions that you can back that up with What did he say that was racist about other people though?"

So instead of trying to educate you just add to the hate so to speak. Which is actually one of the issues with racism, the lack of willingness to learn and educate. Take a look at Anthony Mackie's recent interview for a great example of talking to educate and learn. | |||

Can you see the circles we are running around in? Actually she never asked who he was on her first comment. She said she didn't know who he was. It was not a challenge, it was not a "you are wrong", it was a genuine question. Then asked why is he incredible. If she googled that she would not actually find out directly why it is incredible, just information about him. You are the one (and others) saying it is incredible. She is requesting your opinion on why you think this. Your lack of willingness to share and turn it in to sarcasm and then an argument is the problem with issues like this the world over, people are not willing to discuss subjects and issues, just be in a position full of yes men and have their opinions agreed with. So instead of trying to educate you just add to the hate so to speak. Which is actually one of the issues with racism, the lack of willingness to learn and educate. Take a look at Anthony Mackie's recent interview for a great example of talking to educate and learn. " BOOM!!! Nailed it ^ | |||

"https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mXLS2IzZSdg There you go OP I have done the hard work for you, maybe it will stop you being snarky to people who have no idea what/who you are on about." And I just played that link on you tube. Sorry OP, to me it was just a boring monologue about what it means to be black, not even proper rap. Had a white person got onstage and performed something similar, people would have been up in arms, not clapping and cheering. Definately NOT a legend in my eyes. | |||

"Absolute legend. Also “Black” isn’t even the most powerful track on his album. It’s incredible. He’s only 21. Madness Never heard of him. Why is he incredible ? Awesome. Great contribution to the thread Awsome. Amazing answer thanks. " If we are ever going to get away from judging people by religion or colour then people have to stop highlighting that they are black white or whatever I agree if someone who is white released a song highlighting they are white it would be the big R | |||

"Very powerful performance and clearly a talented bloke " I must admit, I don't think I was particularly aware of him either, but I totally agree with you and thought it was a great performance. | |||

"Talking of oppression, what about the Cornish! Homes all bought from under us by Emmett's Pasty stolen by Gregg's . Devonians trying to claim cream tea as theirs. Jam first then cream..ffs " Don't forget the Barbary pirates. You deserve reparations for the slavery. It's important to hold these memories of violence for as long as possible. maybe do a sea shanty about it on the mean streets of Padstow. | |||

"Yet if a white guy did the same and called it white there would be uproar. Personally i think hes crap but im not into grime/hiphop." He isn’t that good really. Old school hip hop is miles better. | |||

Boris has quite a history of saying racist things. If he is not racist, then he needs to be more careful of his language. People may misunderstand him... | |||

Leaving that aside you have now.said what he said is ridiculous... can you quote the part that made you call him racist... did he compare weirdly dress white people to a phonebox or maybe called them cracker red necks? | |||

I agree with all of what you’ve said, but I think his implication was that because these groups are all white, then it can’t be racism. I’m saying there are genetic differences between ethnic groups within the classifications of ‘white’, ‘black’ ‘brown’ etc. Look at the differences in the Quechua and the Aymara in Peru as a small geographical example of genetic diversity. Separate races, same colour skin. He’s over simplifying his definition of ‘race’ to suit his agenda and support his argument, and thereby proving himself a racist because he’s saying ‘all white people are the same’. That’s what I take issue with. | |||
