Do you? Why would I deny writing that? I haven't denied writing that. You obviously don't understand English. That was a matter of fact response to a question from a person with an agenda. This is all the usual straw man rubbish. I don't have to defend myself against such crap and I wont. Read the thread properly.

If there's a lot of coverage about Trump, can I come on here and moan about how an orange face dominate the news? You'll have to forgive me if I'm not 100% on whether you're talking about the racial make up of those in the news pieces or presening the news, because it's such an unusual and racially charged point to notice and make that it did require some explaining. I've literally never heard anyone from any political party say that there are too many non whites or non white stories in the news.

Read the thread properly. And you have no agenda at all of course? You want the world a certain way, you're clear on that. We all have ideas about how we want the world to be. I was simply surprised to see someone so fixated on non whites that they would be counting them up and making a thread about it based on there not being as many whites as you expected to see that night. It was an unusual point at best, and an inflammatory one at worst. It suggests that you are uncomfortable with other races. Edited by blackpalacefan (27 Nov 2016 4.38pm)

"There are a lot of non white faces on the ITV news, at least on the night before I wrote this post. People in some parts of the country must think they have tuned on to a foreign channel by mistake." For one, people watching ITV news know that it's a british news channel so they wouldn't be 'forgiven for thinking they've tuned into a foreign channel by mistake'. Secondly, those on the channel both in UK stories and reporters speak with clear british accents, so there is nothing 'foreign' about them even if they are non white. Thirdly who finds a particular night where there are fewer white faces on the news and creates a thread about it without realising that world events play at least a significant role in what stories are covered on any given night? Carry on counting non white faces on the news and letting it trouble you if you wish. Also carry on saying that you were 'born here' unprompted and for absolutely no reason, and refering to who or what looks 'foreign' to you as if it elevates you above others who were also likely born here. Do as you wish. Edited by blackpalacefan (27 Nov 2016 5.00pm)

That's fine but as long as you understand that the ones with the real issues - and not pleasant ones at that - are with those who would consider Ian Wright, for example, not to be British or the black newsreaders either, and not with those who rightly question that and refuse to accept it as legitimate concerned voice. The latter seem to irritate you more than former, however, which is odd. Big chest and massive boobs [Link]
