I don't think the time of day is the main point of discussion here. The point of discussion is the use of the N-word. I think it's perfectly valid in demonstrating the nature of the incident. Similarly, if it had been a sectarian attack and the assailant had said '****** c**t', that would also be fair game for news reporting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the victim had been called a "black c**t" in the attack, would the BBC reporter have been correct to say that at half past ten in the morning? Wouldn't that be perfectly valid in demonstrating the nature of the incident? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point it becomes a discussion about the use of profanity rather than racist language. It's a different discussion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMDP Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Banter to see JTS stamping his feet and wailing "answer this" to his nonsense questions after his opening salvo that he still didn't account for. Imagine having the take that rappers use the N-word for money, some amount of arrogance there. Just a hint of racism in brandishing all rappers the same as well. I take it the two examples I posted by Wretch 32 and Akala earlier were for money? Edited August 10, 2020 by JMDP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 It's hard to believe multiple people at the BBC thought this was a good enough idea not to veto it. I know in reality, it's just a chain of people agreeing with their boss but fucking hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
