Feel sorry for Vaughan career in tatters for something he may/may not of said many years ago, this is the sick the new world folks where the mere possibility that someone might think you’re racist is a fate worse than death for some.
Other than the professional Needlessly and easily offended loons and obviously the race card opportunists, the only other people I can think win from this crap are the paedophiles☹️
Odd reponse. Quick to criticise though here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sp.....obinsons-tweets.html

He was criticising the ECB for a start! Cowardly but understandable in the current climate that he didn’t go out of his way to defend Ollie.

I thought I’d check out this Dave Chappelle on Netflix and see what all the fuss from the LGBTQ community was about and these are my thoughts -
1. His act seems to be based on using the N word, nearly every punchline was enhanced with the N word for a better reaction from the crowd. 2. His topics were Racism, the police, Republicans,White People, gays and the Trans community (this is where he went wrong it seems) All in the first 30mins before I turned off. 3. Although not offended myself but taking today’s standards into account I thought his act was blatant racism, definitely homophobic and anti Trans!
Now just like his diverse looking audience I didn’t actually have a problem with this kind of act I just didn’t find him funny, besides I’ve still got old videos of Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor who did this act many years ago but much better, I just thought times had moved on. Back then I was never offended with their white man stereotypical jokes, I laughed my balls off when they did the white Man dancing routine, besides we had Jim Davidson who did his black Chalky routine it was a level playing field back then.
But what has become apparent with this Chappelle character is that whilst we have seen white comedians having to move with the times censored or even banned over the years, it seems black comedians like Chappelle and Chris Rick etc have been allowed to flourish with nothing off the table until now that is, ironically with the oppressed LGBTQ now leapfrogging them on the discriminatory ladder.
I don't know where this ends for Chappelle and comedy in general but he did make a statement addressing the Trans community, who where outside Netflix HQ calling for his head - “ You said you want a safe working environment at Netflix, it seems like I’m the only one who can’t go to the office”. He made me laugh😀

Racist Leftist? Don’t you consider anti-semitism as racism which was/is rife in parts of the Labour Party? Would claiming atheism have saved any of the Jewish Holocaust victims? No, so it was about them a race of people rather than as religion.
Can we just agree all racists are c***s including the ones who frequent this message board?
Genuine question: what did anyone say or do that was anti-Semitic? I’ve only ever seen anti-Zionist views expressed by Corbynistas, which is not the same thing as anti-Semitic.

Steve….absolutely shocking! This kind of abuse at Yorkshire was so intolerable that when he left for Nottinghamshire he decided to go back for another season what a brave man. I’m just pleased they have finally got the right chairman in place now😃

Obviously nothing to see.... On another bleak day for the crisis-torn county, former chairman Roger Hutton branded Yorkshire “institutionally racist” and said he could not sack executives in charge during Rafiq’s time due to a power of veto held by the Colin Graves Family Trust, which is owed millions of pounds by the club. The incompetent, obfuscating report - commissioned by Yorkshire took 2007 as its starting point, but there is so much smoke - and fire - that their new whistle-blowing hotline will surely be jammed.
Not only Yorkshire’s players and management but some supporters too have been guilty of sins of commission, and of omission by turning a blind eye or deaf ear to racism. “Headingley, the home of Yorkshire cricket, is the only ground in the world where I have experienced any form of racial prejudice,” the late Malcolm Marshall, arguably the finest ever fast bowler, said in the 1980s. “There is a hard core who are never slow to voice their hatred for the West Indian players.”
