Yeah, the BNP can't really be chastised for racism, FFS the rank and file aren't that bright so how should they know better. They aren't racist they are just ignorant.
When did that type of thinking become acceptable.
This Goody person is a cretin who has become famous for what, being a cretin. What does that say for the society in which we live.
It is an excuse if the person who said it is so thick that they didn't realise that what they said is a racist comment. Which is what I meant.
Like, if Jade Goodey had heard had heard a group of black men calling each other niggers and the next time she was talking to a black bloke who said something she didn't agree with, she said 'Whatever, you stupid nigger'.
If she truly didn't know that this was offensive and racist and, when it was explained to her, she was genuinely remorseful and didn't ever do it again, then she's excused.
A genuine mistake is absolutely fine and forgivable - happening to be stupid and knowingly abusing a person in a racial manner is, of course, not.
