Harry Enfield uses racist slur 'c**n' while defending blackface on Radio 4

Harry Enfield has come under fire for using the word ‘c**n’ in an interview defending blackface.

Enfield said: ‘Obviously, Al Jolson or GH Elliott who played the Chocolate Coloured C**n, in the thirties, they perpetuated the myth of the happy negro, who was very happy to sing under the crack of the whip. Obviously that’s deeply offensive.’Robinson pointed out that many listeners would find the slur offensive, saying that Enfield was using it in inverted commas, with the comedian continuing: ‘Well, that was his name on stage.

Earlier in the conversation, Enfield defended himself dressing in blackface to play Nelson Mandela on Ruddy Hell! It’s Harry and Paul.

Actually I heard the interview and he came across well but I don’t suppose that sells papers

and this is why we dont trust the press nowadays folks, read the article , check on what was said and never read the metro again

That's not what 'using a slur' means.

Totally misleading headline.

PLENTY OF BLACK COMEDIENS ARE RACIST ALL THEY EVER GO ON ABOUT IS WHITE PEOPLE IN THEIR SHOWS

Yawn. This is getting boring now.l.

Let's not forget he had a part in the upbringing of Lily Allen. He should be banished from civilised society for that alone.

I don't think too many are offended with Goodness Gracious Me and they are escaping scrutiny with a lot of their stereotyping of White British people in their sketch show

Of course they don’t like him because he is funny, if it was the unfunny as fuck Frankie Boyle there would be no problem

Vidal sounds like a knob
