Was told this by an old Socialist, the first man we ever recorded - he apologised in case we would think it was racist - it turned out to be one of the best anti-racists I have ever heard.
A West Indian was told by his doctor that he only had a few months to live; after he had taken in the news, the doctor asked him would he think about donating his heart for transplant.
He thought for while and finally said he would, if he was told who the recipient would be.
The doctor, after a long argument, finally agreed, so the man takes the address and goes off to find person who was to get his heart.
He tracks him down and knocks on the door, which was eventually answered bu a huge skinhead in a stained Union Jack Vest, rings piercing his nose, both ears and his eyebrows, with a display of Swastika tattoos on his forehead, neck and up both arms.
"What the **** do you want?"
Timidly the little West Indian says, "to tell you the truth, I've been told I only have a few months to live and I've decides to donate my heart for transplant - you're going to get it".
"Thank **** for that; I thought you were going to move in next door".
