Watch out Dara. Liquid Gold might call you racist.
Did I call you a racist? Did I literally say earlier in the thread people can be as racist as they want in their own home. You’re fucking losing it mate.Haha perfect!
I was waiting for that. That's the only argument that reactive SJWs like you have.
Leave common sense to the side and just SHOUT THE LOUDEST AND CALL ANYONE WHO DISAGREES A RACIST!
If there was a vacuum inside your skullWhat did he actually mean by it though? This is what I don't get.
So much defending of him knocking about as well with many saying the kid is white anyway. Seething. I can absolutely 100% guarantee the kid will not identify as white.
I must admit I was expecting a Danny baker defence in this thread. Still early days but I’m pleasantly surprised so far.
I know when i heard the 'circus' excuse i thought what a lying cnut........100% wanker.What did he actually mean by it though? This is what I don't get.

Inclined to agree with this...He explained it on Twitter.
He said that it was in reference to the whole royal baby thing being a circus. He also said that he doesn't bother himself with the situation and wasn't even aware the baby was mixed race.
What ever happened to giving the benefit of the doubt?
Some people need to start thinking for themselves and not just live life following the knee jerk reactions.
The media 'circus' surrounding the latest royal arrival.Yeah but what was the joke?
But that image looks nothing like a circus? It's not as if he posted a picture in a big top with a ringmaster.The media 'circus' surrounding the latest royal arrival.
Yeah but what was the joke?
If I had a picture of me, my wife and our new child, and someone commented with exactly the same pic as Baker posted, I’d take it in good humour. But ohhhh because the mother has a slight tinge to her skin it’s racist. Such bollocks. Innocuous joke. Perhaps he didn’t consider how the country is ridiculously sensitive to this thing now, his mistake, but it’s so innocuous.
As you say maybe he couldn't find one with a man and woman leading out a young Ronald Mcdonald. Perhaps he was hoping the Victorian context would lend comparatives, I don't know, goes more towards crap, ill conceived joke than believing the guys a C18 type though in my opinion.But that image looks nothing like a circus? It's not as if he posted a picture in a big top with a ringmaster.
How do you get Circus from his tweet? He didn't even put it in the text.
It was a monkey in human clothes with a mum and dad and it was labelled "royal baby leaves hospital". The image looks as if the monkey is with 2 humans leaving somewhere.

I can accept he's not racist as such, in that he doesn't spend his time being the Alf Garnett of this world, but that was a tweet that undoubtedly had racist connotations. So the best I can manage is that for someone who's worked in the media for many many years, he's remarkably stupid. Or indoctrinated because of his age / upbringing / whatever to not understand how it looks.Inclined to agree with this...
If he was genuinely racist, why after a media career spanning well over 30 years would he tweet something not just passively racist but the crassest form of it, i.e: comparing someone black/of mixed race to an ape? It's not like the type of racism perpetuated by your Trumps, Johnsons and Farages of this world nor the concealed Ron Atkinson type (caught off air engaging in deep rooted stereotypes).
He can't complain at being sacked, but am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt that it was just a shite joke that was bound to fly way over the heads of all exposed to it, not least due to the glaring racial implications he overlooked.

It's a bit of an odd one this, Baker would have been fully aware that the picture would cause this reaction, it's as if he posted it "accidentally on purpose", I just can't work it out?
But where's the humour? Let's say the baby had both white parents. What's funny?RIP British humour. Couldn’t give a shit about him or his job. Just don’t think it’s racist!

"Maybe if he Self-flagellated himself in front of Buckingham Palace he'd be forgiven" ahh....the good old days.In this case, it's so out of the blue and uncharacteristic that he should be given the benefit of the doubt.
He also deleted the tweet and repeatedly apologised.
Maybe if he Self-flagellated himself in front of Buckingham Palace he'd be forgiven.
Nah that's bollocks.........He knew that Mum was a black lady so no excuse.Let’s say the baby had both white parents. We wouldn’t be here debating because nobody would be offended. If I’d just had a kid and I received a joke card with a picture of a little chimp in a nappy it’d be pretty funny

I don't believe for one second that Baker is a racist, nor do I think that many of those calling him one actually do (but they just gotta be offended) I'm just saying it's an odd one.
I completely get that, and I can't even comprehend why he posted it, but it seems like the actions of a person that is more mentally unstable than an out and out racist.It’s a racist photo in the context it’s been produced

Say if i was expecting my first child with my wife who happened to be a black lady and we received a card as you described then i would be hurt and would not see the 'funny' side at all.Nobody can answer, what a surprise
Now normally i would agree in this crazy pc world but nah not having it.......Just had a baby, both happy as anything and this appears on their social media......So not right.Just because a joke can be interpreted as racist doesn't mean there was racist intent behind it.
What's wrong with people these days that makes them think they can read minds and nail someone to the cross for one mistake?
Put the fucking pitchforks down and realise that humans make honest mistakes.
Everything isn't so black and white (ooh racist)
If they were both white it would be very weird wouldn't it? It's like me saying if I threw a banana at a black man they shouldn't be offended because a white man wouldn't.
If somebody threw a banana at me I'd be baffled, if they threw it at somebody who was black or mixed race then it's the intent and meaning behind it.
Do you really not get that?
