Thread Name: Britain's greatest comedian dead-Bernard Manning
Subject: RE: Britain's greatest comedian dead-Bernard Manning
"The "question" you quoted was a proposed title for a new thread discussing racism, as you know very well."

And the tone of the question - "Do Britain's ethnic communities respect/ like the British??" - specifically as a response to this thread, has "racist" written through it like a stick of rock.

The fact is, Bernard Manning was a racist. The jokes quoted above turn my stomach. If they don't do the same to you, have a long hard look at yourself. If they do, ask yourself why the hell you are defending someone who would denegrate fellow human beings in this way.

That's all.
