That's precisely what I find objectionable.
He was implying that it is wrong of me to stick up for someone sufering abuse.
I gave an example of where it wouldn't be.
If you have a problem with it, please report me.
Thanks.

Given the shocking conditions in many African countries and the much higher level of racism in many African countries, I hardly think one can makea comparison.

Suppose Crowley was black! Perhaps he is! Would his remarks have been considered racist then?

I'm caucasian. Not that it should have anything to do with it.
I'm South African. Not sure what that has to do with Mugabe???

I have a chip on my shoulder?? Yes, because I'm Black and I'm sick to death of people making racist comments and jokes in public places. OK!

Why is there this pre-conception that only white people can make racist jokes about black people?????
Or vice versa????
If the word n****r for example is racist or offensive, then it is racist or offensive, REGARDLESS of whether it is being used by a Black person or a White person.

If you read the thread that contained the orignial alleged racial comment by Crwoley, you will find a post where I said I was Black.
Funnily this immediately resulted in my receiviong an apology from someone who a minute before was tearing my head off because I was White.
