which is exactly why the 'angusihed ones' like TJ and Fred shouldn't make accusations of 'racism' on the basis of a post……
Well said
I think if we were all being reasonable we all have hang-ups about people and individuals; show me the person who says they like everyone in the world and I will happily question their sanity.
Often by protesting about racism so much people exclude other peoples views which, in itself, is a form of racism – RB often managed that IMHO
Yet, in spite of all his foibles I think the forum needs him on a basis of inclusion if nothing else – his often London based and dare I say it strangely stereotyped views of how he himself viewed things needed to be challenged – he needed outside the bubble of his own self set parameters.
Hope that makes sense
