Sadly the BBC is greatly diluting its valuable content with copious amounts of SJW pandering and other nonsense.

The take-over started years ago and I'm reasonably convinced that the current crop are mostly on-board with the PC pandering and SJW agenda.

It should surprise few that a lot of the "content" these types put out is pure nonsense.

I mean, just look at the hard-core SJW posters on here for a prime example

spot on

The BBC is increasingly a parody of itself.

It's a real shame as historically it has represented a lot of what is right in Britain

I am pretty certain that the key to a less racist country is to encourage different ethnic groups to think more about themselves and their worries/anxieties along racial lines .... /sarcasm

The absolute state of the left, I've just had a look in the Safe Space Corner thread about Quid Pro Joe choosing Kamala Harris and they've got photos up comparing skin colour because her skin colour matters that much to them. Martin Luther King must be turning in his grave.

That was actually Dowie, who is about as "left" as your right hand.

While certainly not a leftie, I wouldn't exactly describe dowie as far right as you seem to be implying! I'd call him more centre right.

 

[VincentHanna]

I didn't call him far right, your putting words in my mouth now.

The point was that you can't look at Dowie's post focusing on how light Kamala Harris skin colour is and blame "The absolute state of the left"

Because it came from someone whose politics are on the right.

 

[The Running Man]

Turns out you can have your white privilege revoked if you go black fishing

He was quoting someone else?

Pretty sure ancient greece and egypt could claim cultural appropriation here, not black culture. Trying to rewrite history is their forte, why are they using English, stop culturally appropriating the language.

The whole thing is beyond ridiculous.

Literally the conversation went like this:

In Britain she wouldn't be referred to as being black.

She's no less black than Obama, and he was referred to as black in the UK.

She is, easily. Her Jamacan dad is lighter than Obama himself let alone his father and that's the only source of her "blackness", her mum is Indian American not black (which of course keeps the melanin topped up), if her mum was white she'd basically look white too - she'd be mixed race over here. she's got both black and white ancestry in Jamacia, the right wing pundits are now making a big deal about how she's not really black nor is she "African American" or an "American descendant of slaves"... in fact apparently her father is descended from one of the biggest slave owners Jamaica had... she's rather mixed in terms of lineage. Obama on the other hand had a black African - Kenyan father.

Her father:


Obama's father:

So who in that conversation is making a thing about her colour? Doesn't look like "The absolute state of the left" to me

No he wasn't.

And now The S*n has gone all leftie has it?

 

[Em3bbs]

You said he was as left as your right hand, what is further right than that!

It's 'you're' by the way.

Obama was not black. He was biracial.
You posted obamas dad...but you missed out his mother!
was that because she was WHITE you racist

Are they? I voted LibDem at the last election... but thanks for deciding my views for me. This is a bad argument/assumption - essentially “you believe A therefor you must also believe B, C, D etc.. that are views I’ve seen held by others who believe A.” Presumably conjecture based on Brexit.

If you look at the thread it I didn’t bring up the topic I replied to another poster commenting on it. The “race” of a politician isn’t important to me personally, it is however a talking point in US politics thus the conversation.
