Danny Baker fired by the BBC and he's not happy about it.

So someone has to be mindful of other people's warped associations? I don't agree at all.

It’s not warped minds is it though? It’s a common racist trope of a black person being a monkey. Again I don’t think he did it on purpose and I don’t think he should be sacked but trying to play it off like it’s not an obvious stupid thing to post is naive.

Yes, it is warped minds. We are allowing those warped minds to be the template for the rest of us. Black people aren't apes, gorillas or chimpanzees and it's absurd that we have be mindful of associations made only by the racists.

How do you distinguish between who has a 'warped' mind and who doesn't? I don't think that Baker is a Racist, not even close, although some people may think he is after that picture and others may think he's just like 'The rest of us'

The warped minds are those who associate apes, gorillas and chimpanzees with certain races of human beings. Their warped associations shouldn't be though of as standard for civilised human beings. I wouldn't dare accuse anyone of such a very serious offence without sufficient evidence.
