Colin Rand Kaepernick born November 3, 1987 to Heidi Russo, who is white. His birth father, who is African-American (of Ghanaian, Nigerian, and Ivorian ancestry), separated from Russo before Kaepernick was born. Russo placed Kaepernick for adoption with a white couple named Rick and Teresa Kaepernick. The couple had two older children: son Kyle and daughter Devon. The Kaepernicks decided to adopt a boy after losing two other sons to heart defects. Kaepernick lived in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, until age four, when his family moved to California. When he was eight years old, Kaepernick began playing youth football. Kaepernick played football, basketball and baseball and was nominated for all-state selection in all three sports his senior year. He was the most valuable player (MVP) of the Central California Conference in football, leading his school to its first-ever playoff victory. Kaepernick received most of his high school accolades as a baseball pitcher. He received several scholarship offers in that sport, but he wanted to play college football. The University of Nevada, Reno offered him a football scholarship, and Kaepernick signed with Nevada in February 2006.
Sadly my ancestors are Anglo Saxons from way back. I will have to disavow them. They were by definition racist. After all they were not very nice to the Celts. Unless they were pretty girls and then as usual exceptions were made.
To unsettle the ever-sliming fatberg of BBC dross, Scrobs has to announce that he had his first haircut for seventeen and a half weeks, and the event was a riot, with gorgeous girls everywhere, (Scrobs always goes to the same raven-haired, deeply heterosexual, beauty – she really knows her stuff), and a big tip was also ‘tapped’ to make up for the three she has missed in all that time!
Scrob – I think you might have been the bloke who got in in front of me today and made me queue . My pet mullet has been put down and replaced by a ‘number 4 ‘ … I did like being wrapped in plastic and told to wear a mask … I’d have paid just for that yet alone the head chop ….
Imagine for a moment the following.
A white doctor/hospital manager, talking about his hospital staff, say that it’s great that his white British staff really enjoy serving white British patients.
Just imagine that. And imagine what would happen next.
The roof would fall in.
The BBC would be all over it. Front page webshite guaranteed. BLM would organise a demo. Labour and the Guardian would have apolexy. ‘Racist’ they would all cry.
It hasn’t happened.
But on BBCLondon at 1835, a BAME hospital manager/doctor speaking for Northwick Park Hospital in Brent, said in terms ‘Brent is very diverse and our staff are very diverse and so they feel they can serve their own people/country/ community.
And from the BBC? Not a whisper.
Hypocrisy doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Racism is OK on the BBC.
As long as a BAME person is doing it.
Scrapping BBC's Politics Live would be an incredibly bad decision. It's a critical part of the Westminster ecosystem for holding MPs to account. @RobBurl and @Jo_Coburn have done a great job of making informed, entertaining political programming. Needed now more than ever.
I think it would be well replaced by one of those shows where an evil capitalist buys a hovel – paints it mushroom and sells it on for thousands in easy profit – right up the BBCs alley …. …….
Or that show where a nice family want to get the hell out of the UK and start again in a former colony which it still’ nice ‘…
Knowing he’s right has had no diminishing effect on the constant streams of negativity so far pugz.
I don’t think they could ever describe or conceive of their moral duplicity as posing some sort of quandary in their fight against our elected government – if they were to do that they’d no longer be the BBC we rely on to feed this site.
And they will fight to the last widowed licence payer’s few pennies to fend off that reality.
A laugh out loud, funny if it wasn’t so serious, entry in next week’s Radio Times letters page. And not just any letter but the ‘Letter of the Week’.
Dottie North writes about the new, socially distanced ‘Question Time’. She writes……’having an ‘audience’ of just 12 viewers, appropriately selected to represent our diverse society….’.
And in the picture which accompanies the letter is a ‘Zoom’ shot of the 12 viewers…….four of whom appear to be BAME.
Yes, in BBC land ‘represent’ equals undervalue the white majority population.
Which we already knew but always good to add to the proof.
Maybe the QT producers should enrol in that unconscious racism course that SirKeir is set to attend.
Really useful thread on some of the divisive identity politics training that focuses on 'whiteness'. This may be US. But being adopted by British HR departments as we speak. Chilling. https://t.co/V4IxZvMdAb
Jaw dropping hypocrisy from the wealthy liberal elite complaining about ‘cancel culture’, but as has been pointed out to them, where were they when it was conservatives being cancelled, and to make matters worse, some of the people whining in this letter have actually been indulging in cancel culture themselves!
I think we have all known the contradictions inherent within liberal policy, here is one effect of it.
And here is the man OurHeritage want to honour, and from The Independent of all things.
‘Mr Grant came to prominence as leader of Haringey Council in north London at the time of the Broadwater Farm riot in 1985. His comment, after the murder of PC Keith Blakelock, that “the police got a bloody good hiding” was widely criticised. The then Home Secretary, Douglas Hurd, called him “a high priest of racial conflict”.’
Look like another summer of wild claims and ridiculous demands… and even though the shrill cries are coming from Wales, all of the spokespeople featured in the article appear to be Muslim, WTF is going on?
