Read folks, read:

Don’t understand when reporting facts that it’s offensive. Reporting the facts surely highlights racism unless sideman is only offended because it’s a white reporter or he’s using the incident as an excuse to get publicity and move jobs

I somehow expect that he plays music with th N word in it. The word for Sueman is hypocrite.

lmao what a petty bitch, good riddance. “a slap in the face of our community” get real.

BBC allowed constant use of N word to be included in a Glastonbury performance they showed few years ago, including audience repeating the word (mostly white middle class festival audience). They had option of editing it out with short delay like ITV did with Brits, but didn't.

Oh dear, never mind, won’t be missed

And I can 100% guarantee that, not being a hypocrite himself, he never listens to any music that contains the 'N-word' either

Who?

😂😂😂😂😂

Twit.

Reverse racism - blacks can say it unreservedly - and they do judging by recent American films - but anyone white cannot - that’s racism

Never heard of him.

Couldn't be happier. Now if we could only get every untalented waste of space to quit the bbc we might get some good content for our money

The BBC used the word In a report on an attack on a black man. The family of the man ASKED the BBC to use the word to show what kind of abuse the guy was getting.

Words never really go away, they are merely subverted.

Who

Glad to see you got the right photo of a black person this time.

Black Fragility.

Bye

Cough. Are you sure you’ve got the right picture of the right person, this time?

Haha Haha this despite that word being a word commonly used in lyrics in rap music. It's all so ridiculous its lost any credibility now. Hypocrites.

This is a huge loss to the BBC, and the nation as a whole.

BBC should be ashamed😤

R1X - waste of money in a bloated organisation. Shut it down and stop persecuting pensioners.

haha, that nigga crazy😂😂😂😂
