would they have found it so funny if I'd called them it? How about if a customs agent at Heathrow said it to one of them as he slipped his gloved finger up one of their arses on a "random" body search It wasn't edgy, Lenny Bruce was edgy, it was some numpty on twitter and was then retwitted by Ferdinand to 10's of thousands of his "fans". Did you laugh when you heard it? Was it funny in any respect? It's all about the context and Cole was called a racist term because he had the audacity to speak in defence of a white man against a black man. Now Cole's lawyers (FFS) say he doesn't mind, but I wonder if he's just scared of being blackballed by his brudders? It's all about the context and I don't see any reason by black people can't be bought to book for racism just like us honky's ttfn Richard _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
