Wasn't really challenged for that.
It would have been one of the instances that led him to his eventual ban though.

Biggus did and he wasn't censored for that particular comment.
Coconut is a racial slur? Â
I wonder if the me too movement would happen if she were president. Â She's been living with an alleged rapist-very awkward and the media industry would be busy selling wars against Noko by now doing the president's bidding.Â

Whatever you think about wikileaks editorial choices in the timing and subjects they chose to leak you can't call it disinformation or "fake news".

In some parts of the world and depending on context, yeah - it is.
I know it's not got the same connotations in Asia, for example but I'd expect Biggus to know better when talking about Obama.

Brown on the outside, white on the inside. Rio Ferdinand used a similar insult for Cashley at one stage calling him a "choc-ice".

Its impossible to say. Sort of pointless to speculate.
Just visited seaworld in Orlando and they play the national anthem before opening the gates in the morning. Unreal. 😆

If you see something you feel is racist please report it.

The lack of humanity, basic decency and kindness is frightening.
I wonder if these people who so detest refugees ever consider that one day they too could be forced to flee and seek refuge?
I do not consider coconut a racial slur.
It is a slur though that hits with a lot more force than the people using it think it does. It's like calling a fan plastic except fans can actually choose who to support.

I know - didn’t mean it as a synonym but as a combination of both, separate factors.

What a perfectly realistic and deeply unflattering waxwork. Live it 😆
Wow. At a prolonged glance I thought that was both real, and incredibly ugly.
Had to scroll up to figure out it was a waxwork.
😆
Rings around the eyes aren’t white enough - like a dusky leaf monkey.

this world sucks!
Apparently the fake news awards are today.
Another Government shutdown in the states. Glad its happening to Trump and a bit of karma for those who shut it down when Obama was in charge. The US is a basket case though, completely dysfunctional country and they have more weapons than anyone else in the world. I need to distract myself again quick, to the transfer rumours!
