Being Black Part II

I'm very upset and disgusted by what a private educated female said on the Channel 4 show. Her quote was "Black people are just very bad, always in trouble and is in full support of slavery and wishes it came back, she would definitely have a black slave". I think what she said was a disgrace and only enlighten black people with the knowledge that even in this day and age racism still persists. Black people suffered a hell of a lot through slavery and to think that they are trying to forget about the pass, only to have a bimbo bring it all up? Channel 4 should also know what they are broadcasting, as there are a lot of old people who have witnessed or been through slavery or racism and yet again to have this on national TV and to be brought back up and thrown in there faces! Me personally this just brings back memories of the Stephen Lawrence case and shows justice will never be done. I sincerely hope that something gets done about this because this is really unfair. Since watching the show I feel very insecure in being black and feel as if racism is everywhere its just been hidden.

2007 is the 200th year anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the UK!! 200 years on and this is how people think. We really should be complaining.

On celebrity big brother a supposed racist comment got a hopping 46,000 to complain to OFCOM, an eviction of this excuse for a human being, demonstration all the way to India and Indian MPs in Britain openly condemned the wretch yet only a few days after that event on the same Channel…Another Channel 4 show called Shipwrecked, a private school educated contestant makes statements such as "Black people are just very bad, always in trouble and is in full support of slavery and wishes it came back, she would definitely have a black slave" and 3 whole days later and OFCOM only receives a mere 460 complaints? Seriously! What does it take FOR black people to stand up for themselves? This filthy animal flat out says, she wishes slavery was back and I find people chatting fart about freedom of speech or chatting about how they can't be bothered.

I personally don't give a damn whether she likes me or not As a Black Man, as far as I am concerned she can exercise freedom of speech and use her backside to express it too. My complaint isn't towards her but towards the broadcaster...in this case Channel 4 who felt it appropriate to provide her with a platform to spew her filth.

With freedom of speech comes responsibility of speech and ultimately in this case that responsibility lies with the Broadcasters hence why swear words are bleeped and any sign of negative rude or sexual gestures are blurred and in some cases t-shirts with logos/slogans containing what might be seen as advertising also get blurred...yet Channel 4 (1st) decides to broadcast a racist comment which by the way was filmed six months before the first screening and (2nd), broadcast it at a picked TV viewing hour for children (Sunday 6:25PM) without might I add any warning of the racist content..? Viewers are even warned of flash photography before most shows are aired, yet black parents don't get any warning to protect their children from having to hear hateful words directed at them from some smut???

Also consider...if channel 4 or any other prime time channel would ever allow any fool to say on TV "The Holocaust never existed, Jewish people got what they deserved and or wishes for the holocaust to come back"?

I think not!!!

Now I want people to get of the freedom of speech mantra or any lame as excuse and complain to OFCOM because our freedom of choice whether to choose to hear hateful words and or protect our children from the same was removed in order to protect hers. This might seem like such a trivial thing to some of you but you let this one go and by the time you start to care, it'll be too little to late.

Do what the Jews did and Indians are doing now and you won't have to worry about that later.
