Anyone think this may spur the club on to finally ban that rag now?

It should deffo be banned, but I think the Mayor's comments are OTT.

Basically, he's a working class footballer with a strong regional accent so must be thick.

The Gazza comparisons won't go away.

If Barack Obama had a kid with a white women are you saying that you wouldn't consider that kid to be black?

I'd consider them mixed race. I certainly wouldn't consider them to be black.

And the kid of a mixed race person and a white person definitely isn't black.

Someone elsewhere has just pointed out this article, which appeared in the Sun during MacKenzie's time as editor there.

Obviously not a racist at all, him.

Either I'm colour blind or you are.

Are you serious? My sister married a guy from Ghana and they had a daughter together. Their daughter (now grown-up) is very light-skinned like Mariah Carey, but she still identifies as Black.

Race/ethnicity is not just about skin tone.

Barack Obama is mixed-race by your definition, as his mother is white.

@The Cowboy If you're a mixed raced person of Nigerian heritage and somebody likens you to a gorilla, it doesn't matter how dark your skin is. The insult holds up.

Barkley is mixed raced with relatively light skin, but he is still a mixed race man being likened to a gorilla.
