classic white (I'm guessing) middle aged (I'm guessing) male (I'm guessing) arrogance, thinking that they're best placed to tell everyone the reality about racism - whilst clearly not giving a sh*t about/ridiculing those affected

quite, and as i pointed out, they do take it in truckloads in The Windsors (which is Ch4, not BBC, sorry) and Spitting Image and elsewhere


DB quoted as saying: "Minutes later I was alerted by followers that this royal baby was of course mixed race and waves of panic and revulsion washed over me... What had I done? I needed no lessons on the centuries slurs equating simians and people of colour. Racism at it's basest."


where has he been these past few years, i wonder, that he 'needed to be alerted'?

It was obviously intended as satire of the royal family. In a democratic country, it's perfectly valid that we can openly question what value this inherited privilege, and associated ceremonial duty, really adds to our society.


To most of us, being mixed race is not even vaguely noteworthy these days. As far as I'm concerned, kids of mixed heritage are not "mixed race children", they're just kids like any other. If he's of a similar mindset, and a racial slur is absolutely the furthest thing from your thoughts, it stands to reason that you might not immediately realise the connotations.


So yes... extremely ill-judged, and with hindsight it seems obvious - so his employers had every right to discipline him. But I have no reason to believe it was an intentional racial insult, and I am certain his apology is genuine.

thanks, I'm glad you concede


I guess that you realise that there's no logic in what you said so the logical response is indeed to dismiss it out of hand

Here is Danny Baker's statement, I think it's best read in full rather than bits of it being pulled out to sway biased points of view:


"I chose the wrong photo to illustrate a joke. Disastrously so.


"In attempting to lampoon privilege and the news cycle I went to a file of goofy pictures and saw the chimp dressed as a Lord and thought, 'That's the one!' Had I kept searching I might have chosen General Tom Thumb or even a a baby in a crown. But I didn't. God knows I wish had.


"Minutes later I was alerted by followers that this royal baby was of course mixed race and waves of panic and revulsion washed over me... What had I done?


"I needed no lessons on the centuries slurs equating simians and people of colour. Racism at it's basest.


"But it was a genuine, naive and catastrophic mistake. There is of course little media/twitter traction in such a straight-forward explanation. The picture in context as presented was obviously shamefully racist. It was never intended so - seriously who on earth would 'go there'?"


He added: "Anyway I am now paying the price for this crass and regrettable blunder and rightly so. Probably even this final word from me will extend the mania. ('Dog whistle' anyone?) I would like to thank friends on here for their kinder words and once again - I am so, so sorry."


Edited to Add:


After reflecting on his comments the day before, Baker added: "I would like once and for all to apologise to every single person who, quite naturally, took the awful connection at face value.


"I understand that and all of the clamour and opprobrium I have faced since. I am not feeling sorry for myself. I [messed] up. Badly.


"I am aware black people do not need a white man to tell them this. Deleting it immediately and apologising for the awful gaffe I even foolishly tried to make light of it. (My situation that is, not the racism involved.) Too late and here I am."

Everyone has biases and they're not all bad, you don't have to "suffer" from them.


I wanted to give people the full picture so they can make their own mind up. I don't really care what your biases are as long as they're not hurtful, discriminatory, inflammatory etc but it sounds like you're after a fight, I'm not.

if someone calls someone out as being biased (or implies the same) and the someone asks why, I can?t see how the person who asks the question is the one who?s after a fight

Sure. So let me use your logic to comment. You're no doubt a classic black (I guess), woman (I guess)...therefore always wanting to play the victim and emotively tell everybody else how they should be living life.....


For clarity people, I think the above statement is disgusting. But it applies the same logic which pk used in his/her opening gambit......

It doesn?t follow the same logic at all


I didn?t describe anyone as a classic white man


I described feeling entitled to determine what is and isn?t racist probably from a position of little direct experience as classic white middle aged male arrogance on the subject of racism, like comparing what the guy who posted it on reflection described ?utterly racist? to calling monkey nuts monkey nuts

    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
