Should The Bbc Apologise Over The Prince Harry 'coke Joke'

[sp1814]

...or is he a legitimate target after the drugs revelations from a few years back (which reportedly were NOT coke-centred)?

Oh how you would love to call me a racist, but you know that I am not, but even if you did you would further know that it wouldn't make any difference if you did.

However, regarding your statement, that may be your interpretation of it, but I am not, I am just using the race part of it as a comparison.

Others on AnswerBank regularly go of the main subject matter with their own examples of comparisons and yet nothing is said.

Cocaine was not mentioned, 'cuts em' could be tobacco/snuff/coffee beans/anything?

[jno]

snorting coffee beans, is that prevalent?

No, they should not apologise for it but they should apologise for employing Jo Brand, who is as funny as haemorrhoids. her "humour" is always questionable at best.

AOG, that's nonsense that a joke about a person in one of the minorities , such as black, is not allowed to be broadcast. A joke about someone who happens to be black is allowed. The joke is about them, the person, not about their colour or religion; nobody is insulting a whole racial group . Do you thinks jokes about President Obama can't be made? Or Assad? Or individual celebrities of any race or religion?
