By default. You should automatically vote leftwing if you are black. Is that racist?

I need to hear the reasoning behind such a statement first.
If it was to get elected against someone you perceived to be a racist right winger, say like Boris and the implication was any Tory is essentially a racist anyway?
You don't perceive Johnson as racist?
I wouldn't say it was a racist statement then because Johnson is racist, he HAS said racist things against black people. Not just black people but anyone against racism shouldn't vote for him, they don't have to vote left wing, just don't vote for him.
Oh god
Are their no limits to the cobblers you post?
What next, he's satanist, paedophile, misogynist nazi?
Are there any human failings that you have yet to accuse him of?
He's got funny hair.
Can't argue with that.
Fuck knows what he thinks he's doing there, makes him look like slept in his suit and couldn't arsed to make an effort.
"Combs his hair with a balloon", is the best thing I've heard said about him.
Wtf .... give your head a wobble
You wish we were blameless ? ffs you're part of the problem.
Why should they have to act any different at any stadia in the world? Why should anyone have to worry about their creed, colour, religion, sexual orientation whatever?
Football is a game that brings joy to billions but it has always had a problem that its not only tribal but that it attracts the lowest inbred, thick, ignorant, disgusting, morons.
Anyone, whether it's a player, a fan, someone who works at the stadium etc should be able to go there feeling safe, feeling like they won't get abused, felling like the game looks after them. At this moment in time it doesn't, for all the media spin about bend the knee blm etc, the real problem lies not just with the fans, but with the bodies themselves like UEFA and FIFA. Until they come down hard on these countries and start banning them from tournaments things will never change and until fans like you stop giving these countries an excuse saying they were goaded then things will sadly never change.
Shame.
Pretty sure Jeffrey is a liar and convicted criminal , not sure either about the fragrant Lady Archer. As for the radio show , I would not know I am under 95
Describing black people as flag waving piccaninnies with watermelon smiles is not racist then?
I'd forgotten we had met.
We haven't, but you're one of about 10 posters on here I'm sure I'd enjoy having a pint with
Sounds good to me.
I have a few obsessed bores on ignore and it dose a weird thing when any thing vile happens like in the England game. You get page after page of their name where the usual suspects are doing their whataboutary.

can't you fix so the "its all the left racisms not real types " just disappear name and all? Its funny because you can see the stuff they are hot for them names never appear discussing our right- back, or Lucas Mora. They should just get on the Spectator blogs or Telegram.

Its funny because you can see the stuff they are hot for them names never appear discussing our right- back, or Lucas Mora. They should just get on the Spectator blogs or Telegram.The first comment was him quoting other people's words, and a watermelon smile is a simile, like grinning like the Cheshire cat.
But I will agree that when he talks about problems that touch on race and religions that he has issues with, he should pick his words more carefully - to avoid the legions of tossers who scream racist over anything he says, irrespective of the accuracy of his comments.
He isn't sensitive enough to the hyperactive critical overdrive that brimming and frothing left leaning supporters can get into, whilst ignoring the severity of the,issues he's addressing.
This was his full comment, who was he quoting? Associating black people with watermelon is a racist stereotype, that's why watermelon smile is an offensive
“They say he is shortly off to the Congo. No doubt the AK47s will fall silent, and the pangas will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird.”
“What a relief it must be for Blair to get out of England. It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies; and one can imagine that Blair, twice victor abroad but enmired at home, is similarly seduced by foreign politeness.”
His description about black people or Muslim women isn't accurate at all and he's been criticised by people in his own party about it, so it's not just about the left being angry at what he said.
As I said, he has a bad habit of not thinking ahead, to avoid people who will find fault in the exact words he uses and not about the issues he's addressing.
If you choose to use the expression watermelon smile to be a simile about black people exclusively, then it seems to me that it an issue for you to deal with. I do agree that if he had said Chesire cat, then it would have avoided people like you from choosing to focus on the words in his speech rather than the situation he was addressing.
It's who you are
