Personal trainer Matt Simpson, said he was trying to "bind my history" with his passion for fitness
Matt Simpson admitted he posted the "very-ill judged 12 years of slave workout", which appeared on the PureGym Luton and Dunstable's Facebook account. On his Instagram account, Mr Simpson said: "I apologise wholeheartedly to anybody who has felt - in any way, shape or form - angered, felt upset, felt racially abused, indirectly or directly.
Lol he was black
Poor BBC, I bet you were just itching to pile on this guy until you found out he was a BAME. All gone a bit quiet now huh.
perhaps PureGym should issue a statement of theor position on this? If it's acceptable to them then let's.movr.on, if not, they can act
He has made a mistake get over it people 🤷🏼♂️👍
Now people realise he’s black they aren’t upset anymore! True racism!
Hmm, if he'd been white we know he wouldn't be working there again. The hypocrisy on here...
Imagine if a white guy did this.
Non story. defundBBC
I love the fact he is black. The lefties will have been waiting to destroy the white privileged far right racist. They must be gutted now
Everyone makes mistakes. Admit it, apologize, and move on👊🏾✊🏾
I saw the video, and thought it was in such poor taste it had to be fake. This really WAS a PureGym member of staff? As said, if this was carried out by another race they would have been 'cancelled'. They are not subjects to joke about, whatever the race of person in question 😏
Another black person who hasn’t read the victimhood memo.
This is a perfect example of a stupid mistake and nothing more. He’s clearly not a ‘white’ supremacist just a muppet. We should be laughing.. not attacking
Omg. What kind of insight does this man lack ?
FonsekaMustapha He actually wrote a similar, if slightly worse version of this last year. That he think this was ill judged is a new position, he was defending it vociferously earlier this week.
Slavery? MOVE ON!
Hahaha. What an absolute tool !
I don't even understand the matters of the subjects anymore
Well he’s Black so NO Problem BLM lol
It's actually quite funny..thank god he's black he would have been crucified by BLM and MSM...
BBCScotlandNews Move on. Stop harassing this guy for making a mistake.
Bloody mistake. He learned his lesson. Let’s move on. Mind you if that was the other way around we’d be calling for the person’s head. They would’ve been sacked by now as well. Need to take a step back and be a bit more reasonable when dealing with things like these.
The guy is lucky that he is black. If he was white he would be crucified by now and will never be able to get a job.

No humour some people
No excuses your a grown man and as a person of colour you should know better especially in a time like this..
All very suspect to be fair
Lets just leave this here then maybe some day peole will realise that it's the only way forward.
BBCScotlandNews ....😳....wow, just....wow
Just here for the galaxy brains saying 'hE'd bE sAcKed iF hE wAS wHiTe!!1!'. Yes, he would've been, and quite rightly.
OOF!
He is lucky he has the race card, if this was a white guy who created the post the outcome would be very different.
heelvsbabyface
Let's all admit it: when we initially read the story we thought it was a white person. What a grade a nonce.
What a F****ing idoit.
Everything has to have reference to black; a lot of publicity for free; mission accomplished. Media is doing this now all the time. Nothing to do with what they bleating about. Mental health get the same media coverage get out of jail free if a MH issue highlighted they never had
A guy made a workout routine to a film he liked and a bit of bad marketing enraged the woke SJW's and the BBC. It's only his black privilege that get's him off.
Luckily he's a Black guy, so we can move on
What did I miss 😃🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
BBCScotlandNews It’s the slavery was hard and so is this comment.... how could he have thought that was an acceptable comparison. Too much protein in his brain 🤯🤯🤯
All the people saying “it was just a mistake” would be singing a different tune if he was of a different ethnicity I imagine
No need to apologise. Only up-tight people would be offended.
Thank god he is black ! If he was white and tweeted an ill thought out tweet like that he would have been vilified, most likely have lost his job and god knows what else
I took it as a joke, not saying it was funny but people should leave him alone
I’m curious to know the work out schedule and routines
He's black.
They should let this drop, it's been rumbling for days. Why keep raking up a stupid ill thought out remark? Leave the poor guy alone!
Never ever apologise
He has acknowledged his mistake and apologised. No one needs to be 'cancelled' or continually pulled over hot coals. Move on.
let it go now. It was a dumb mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, people calling him for to be fired need to look at themselves man
You know who were against abolishment of slavery? Many African countries. It was their whole economy really. Further, they had been selling people to the middle east way before the evil white man came along. Not that the west shouldn't get blamed. But not the only ones or first.
Had mr Simpson any personal or family knowledge of slavery..I doubt it..it's like picking on Germans for the 2nd world war even though I wasn't born at the time..grow up.

Don’t beat yourself up mate. We all make mistakes.
BLMUK very quiet.....
I dunno, people are always taking the piss, just a bad joke on a bad day
Well this is awkward. A Black man posted the tweet. I wonder how the always offended race baiting woke brigade will try to spin this.
Know I shouldn’t but I did laugh. What the hell were his thought processes?
Yes I’ll judged, has apologised now time to move on.
His “ill-judged” comment must be the understatement of the year so far!
Slavery is NOW....🚨
It was a ridiculous thing to do, everyone’s jumping on the BLM bandwagon. But PureGym exploit their staff, they force them to work 15 hours a week unpaid. You get what you pay for, perhaps?
slavery was not abolished, it entered the payroll. I don't know who phrase
Who cares?
HAHAHAHAHA ffs some people really are stealing oxygen daily.
