Whilst one Left-Wing comedian can suggests the throwing of acid instead of milkshakes.

Woe betide a Right-Wing comedian if he dares to state that the present Mayor of London has 'f***** up' his home town.

Yes out comes their Race Card once again, where is the racism in that?

Didn't have a dig at your father, RR. Stop being a drama Queen.

‘that was perhaps stereotyping the mannerisms of a West Indian person of those times, but definitely not racist’

You’re white AoG. You have no say in whether JD’s comments are racist. Only the people being potentially offended can. That’s what racism is.

100% proof you have no business commenting on matters of race.

Do you know what 'Happy Hour' means in this context?

Because I never experience a NAFFI that provided discounts on their drinks all the time.

Life and soul of the party then?

Zacs - // ‘that was perhaps stereotyping the mannerisms of a West Indian person of those times, but definitely not racist’ //

There's no 'perhaps about it!!!

// You’re white AoG. You have no say in whether JD’s comments are racist. Only the people being potentially offended can. That’s what racism is. //

AOG is secure is an elderly white man in his belief and frequent protestations that the lampooning of black people by Jim Davidson and his 'Chalky White' drivel is not racist.

It is taking the persona and speech patterns of a race of people and using them in a derogatory and mocking fashion in order for another race of people to laugh at them.

That as I see it is virtually a text book definition of racism.

AOG's exhortations to bring back 'Chalky White' shows that he clearly did not understand racism them, and he clearly doesn't understand it now.

Why don't you stop sniping and looking for a fight, and address the thread?

[Rockrose]

Aog don’t use my father in your point scoring against me please.
And I am perfectly aware of what went on in the naffi

Perhaps 'one of the world's biggest religions' should try and keep out of the news on a 'virtually daily basis' then there would be no need for me to report on them in what is after all the News Section?

[Mamyalynne]

RR, have the best time you can this weekend and reminisce and make a few new memories.x

Don't flatter yourself - you don't 'report' on them at all, you simply pick up the media baton of promoting fear and suspicion based on religious prejudice and extend it into the News Section on this site, with interest.

Thanks mama

[Spicerack]

You brought your father into the discussion to bolster your argument.

[Khandro]

Hee-Hee @ AOG 14:27!

[retrocop]

I always thought the NAAFI was for OR's and not officers?

[Zacs-Master]

‘That as I see it is virtually a text book definition of racism’

Indeed it is. As AOG seems to be trying to ignore me (basically, denying himself the right of reply) it’s difficult to know how pointing this out has gone down.

[Old_Geezer]

Everyone is entitled to an opinion on what is or is not racist. Otherwise any group can made ludicrous claims and not be challenged on them.

[Jordyboy9]

Let it go spicerack rockrose doesn’t need the hassle just now.

[dannyk13]

Retro, the NAAFI was for ranks up to Corporal, sergeants and officers had their messes.

[Rockrose]

Hence why my father was rarely seen in it!
Thanks jordy and Andy.

AOG - // Bring back Chalky White I say, much more harmless. //

/// A line that could only ever be written, or misunderstood, by a white man of a certain age who wouldn't know what racial prejudice in the 1970's was if it jumped up and bit him. ///

For one that admits he doesn't watch comedians, you seem to have a lot to say regarding Jim Davidson's mate Chalky White'.

Chalky White for your information was portrayed as a friend of Jim Davidson, he has nothing to do with the racial prejudice of that time.
