Re: Before more lies are spread let’s clear it up fans
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence or integrity can see my comments were specifically to highlight the difference in zeitgeist (current climate) between the first series of Top Boy and 3rd - which was made 10 years later.Originally Posted by Ron Swanson
So him being offended black people were painted in a good light while white people were made to look bad(his words, I don’t know the show) is defense that he isn’t racist? It isn’t a single mother, it’s a single black mother, how dare they make her sympathetic. Again, I haven’t seen the show but from the description I would probably watch the show and consider it to be from someone else’s perspective and not get hung up that “white people...”. I would look at it on a person by person basis rather than lumping all the blacks together or all the whites together. Silly meThe onus is on nobody but you. If you want to call somebody a racist then you should have a good reason for doing so not just the fact that your own prejudice and unabashed bias is using that as a way to discredit someone's perfectly rational argument. I don't have to show you anything, step out of your bubble and you will see it as clear as day. There are real racists here and they should be long gone, but Fenster the sardonic bastard that he is, is not one of them.
Sending a banana to a black person is out of order/proper racism, even a Klan man like me knows that, especially in a "football" pub at 10 at night. The young man would have understandably felt intimidated. Throwing bananas at black players comes from football culture, all but eradicated in the UK but still rife in Europe.
The reason the staff probably didn't realise the offense is because they're all Eastern Europeans.
Not sure what the cops can do now, but the very fact a young black man from south London voluntary went to the cops is incredible in itself (I almost don't trust the story because of that bit)
I can assure you Asian people of all description (not just Bruce Lee) are the most racist towards black people i've ever come across. And yes there's lots of white racists in London too... they're called East Europeans... and geriatrics.
A lot of whites outside London are racist as hell. I know I live amongst them (:
No Asian racists though. Not just in Britain. Nowhere in the world are there any racists Asians. I have it on good authority from ...................
A non-racist white man man
London is currently rife with drug/knife/gang crime, with black single mothers and absent single dads held up as part of the problem along with people in power - government. Acid attacks weren't heard of back then. Turk/Cypriot drug barons were the daddy. Eastern European gangs moved in. The whole demographic changed. "Black" areas became "white" and "white" became "black." Middle-class/Rich "white" people buy more drugs than anyone else. These are real life topics the drama incorporated during the current era it was set, my only point was it became a little stereotypical.
I wasn't "offended" by the portrayal of any character in the drama.
