Bishop Briggs Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Can you imagine the uproar if Trump had done this? - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-37781800 "The singer Joni Mitchell startled her friends by appearing at a Halloween party 40 years ago disguised as a black man in pimp-like garb."

On the other hand Donald Trump is a racist arsehole and Joni Mitchell is not. I'm sure I don't see the connection other than "Look at her! Look at her! She did it too!" But Joni Mitchell isn't running for President, so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 6 minutes ago, Bishop Briggs said: Either. There would still be uproar in the media. If he'd done it (and there's no evidence he has done it, although I think most people would reckon he has done it, he's has done it, he's definitely done it) ten or twenty years ago there would absolutely be an uproar. Forty years ago? Maybe. What you're saying is racist man being racist is news, though. Hardly earth-shattering. All it would do is prove he's been racist for most of his adult life. He's definitely done this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrities are treated leniently compared to politicians. There is also the issue of double standards - http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/black-white-minstrel-show-most-2077085 "it’s 35 years since The Black & White Minstrel Show was broadcast on BBC1 for the final time. Now that four decades have past since it was in its prime, it’s fair to ask the question ‘was this the most racist show in the history of television?’ The answer is ‘almost certainly yes’."
