Wrong Direction

[-Talbot-]

I can't ever recall reading or hearing racial abuse to match this.

Yes, yes ok ... you've never heard of her ...

[jourdain2]

Never heard of him either......... and I can only assume that she's using some form of English in her unpleasant comments, got the gist of them Ugh!

[jambutty]

Wow, she's vile.

[-Talbot-]

Good grief Jourdain ... you're obviously not down with us kids.

He is from One Direction.

[EDDIE51]

Is this in a new language? Double Dutch maybe?

[Svejk]

Lovely.

[-Talbot-]

I've tried my best, Eddie.

[EDDIE51]

I can recognize the 'F' word and the 'N' word plus the name for a female dog.
I assume it is PC for an Afro Caribbean to refer to another person of the same ethnicity as a 'N****r? I would be arrested for using that word in the same context!

[sunny-dave]

She has also come out as a supporter of Donald Trump ... not the sharpest knife in the black box?

[Bazile]

sunny-dave

By inference therefore , those on here who support Donald Trump , needs their knives sharpening - yeah ?

[sunny-dave]

Not necessarily Baz - I wouldn't presume.

It's just that for a young, black female to support The Donald seems a little odd, given his predilection for racism and sexism.

I too have never heard of Zayn Malik or Azealia Banks !

[jno]

Eddie, Malik's not Afro-Caribbean, he's half Pakistani and half British, so throwing the accusation at him isn't really illegal, it's just pointless.

But Banks has plenty of previous

Great role models...

[jourdain2]

Thank you for the elucidation, Talbot, I did wonder about the relevance of your title.:)

[naomi24]

I've heard of him but I've never heard of her. Clearly I haven't missed much.

ag, my thoughts exactly.

[jno]

people don't have to be role models if they don't want to. There's nothing in the contracts. (There used to be: Hollywood studio contracts were full of requirements about good behaviour. Not any more.)

[naomi24]

jno, they don't choose to be role models. Nevertheless they are.

[-Talbot-]

Zayn has nearly 19 million Twitter followers (almost as many ABers follow me)

[agchristie]

^ time to log off!

[Jackdaw33]

Wasn't she in the news a couple of weeks ago re abuse? Can't remember what about.
