Robin Hood Murdered by Negro

For me, this is the straw that broke the camel’s back with regard to the formerly well respected British Broadcasting Corporation - a black Friar Tuck.

After destroying a whole generation’s enjoyment of the Arthurian legend by making the blonde, blue eyed Queen Guinevere black, quite regardless of the fact that this was an impossibility, they have now trampled all over the image of Friar Tuck.

No longer is the Friar a balding, rotund, educated man with a penchant for ale, now he has been transformed into a ‘hunky, fighting robed warrior.’

The BBC has once again treated me with contempt and further embarrassed me with their continuing Operation Get Behind the Darkies. It appears that the top brass at the BBC believe that by splashing black faces all over every programme that they air, they are somehow beyond reproach when it comes to race issues and can hide the fact that in reality they are one of the least diverse corporations in Britain, at least in upper management. No doubt the management also throw words around such as modern, trendy, uptodate and groovy.

It is easy to point the finger at the middle aged white old Etonians that run the BBC but white people in general must also bear some of the blame for this; how much longer are they going to allow their culture, traditions and even folklore be trampled over by such people? Such people I hasten to add, who are doing this not through a love of Negroes, but rather as a convenient smokescreen for their own racism.

The same people who will no doubt scream racist should a white objector point out the idiocy of their programming. Friar Tuck is white. I am well aware that in reality he did not exist, I am well aware also that Arthur did not exist, nor Guinevere but these are folklores and legends that have been around for centuries, what right have a few ex public school boys in suits to alter them purely to save face?

‘Our generation of kids won’t bat an eyelid at the fact Friar Tuck is black, but it’s important for me to get to play a role model.’

Naturally thanks to the wonderful British education system most children are oblivious to things like history. As for Friar Tuck being a role model, since when? He’s the overweight jovial drunkard, well done David for lapping up another white cast off. All the BBC have done is turn Friar Tuck black to keep the Negroes happy, well I for one am not happy.

Programmes such as Robin Hood are meant to entertain the young whilst also gently educating, instead we have a television programme so far removed from the period in which it were set, it may as well be situated in space. What do youngsters today glean from such a programme? That skin colour is irrelevant and more down to chance rather than the geographical location from which a person comes from? I am not black by a mere accident, it is because my ancestors evolved this skin colour to better protect themselves from their environment.

This is a minor issue compared to the big issue that this sort of thing disguises – slavery. Should one of Britain’s ill informed, ignorant youth do something out of the ordinary, and think for a moment about slavery, no doubt they’d consider that both British whites and British blacks were complicit in slavery, when this isn’t the case at all. Negroes came here as slaves and several hundred years after Robin Hood was set. Yet according to the BBC Negroes have always been here.

This will give our government even more cause to ditch large swaths of British history and instead teach things such as Twitting, MyFace and BoBo in schools, reserving the tricky stuff for, well probably just the historians. Gone will be the likes of Ignatius Sancho, William Wilberforce and already many children believe that Churchill is a fictional character (if not a nodding dog), despite Churchill only dying 44 years ago. Many teens also believe that Robin Hood was real and bizarrely, despite him appearing in many of the aforementioned Robin Hood’s tales, Richard the Lionheart as fictional!

Needless to say if they believe Robin Hood to be based on a real person, then likewise they’ll believe Friar Tuck to have been a black martial arts expert, rather than the portly man of God of the legends. This poorly conceived attempt to make the BBC appear Negro friendly has stripped this awful series of the last bit of credibility it may have held and also dropped the BBC beyond salvage in my regard.

It shouldn’t have surprised me however, particularly on the back of the black Guinevere, the Black Doctor Who, and the recent and even more infuriating All Black espisode of Eastenders. At the BBC it seems that 2009 is the year of the Negro.

I found the BBC episode particularly insulting, it was completely unnecessary and just another PR stunt intended to keep the Negroes happy. This wasn’t a landmark, there was nothing to celebrate in an episode tht purposely kept whites off screen purely with the intention of having an all black episode. In any event it was not an all black episode, merely an all non-white episode. This wasn’t even just centred around one family or one location, some scenes were in the public house, but just carefully crafted to ensure no white faces violated the episode. Indeed the bar had no bar staff as they are all white, so they simply ceased to exist in that episode. Black extras crowed every seat and featured in every walk by, purely to get Negroes on screen.

The BBC celebrated this as an all important milestone. I was shocked and angered that since the 1950s, that this programme claimed to deal with, we have reversed positions so much that it is now acceptable for the BBC to ban all actors of a certain colour from an episode, as long as that colour is white. Sure there may well be all white episodes, but that is by chance rather than design. The BBC set out to create an episode that featured only non whites, to me that is purely and simply racism. For even racism dressed up in good intentions is still racism.

The irony is that the BBC intended that episode to highlight the racism suffered by us Negroes as we arrived here 50 years ago, by segregating the cast and having a no whites policy. One wonders if they had a sign outside the studio that day, No Whites, No Irish and No Dogs. The fact that the BBC used racism to highlight racism appears to be lost on just about everyone, I find no mention of this anywhere else on the internet. But naturally whites dare not complain and after all Negro is most certainly in vogue at present, what with Obama (I won’t even start on that particular topic!). The upper echelons of the BBC must have been positively beside themselves at his election as now they can have far more Negro on TV, at no extra cost.

The fact that the episode also went out on the tenth anniversary of the Macpherson report, a fact that the BBC claimed to be coincidence, not only insults my intelligence but also feels like a further slap in the face.

‘A BBC spokeswoman said last night that it had never been intended as a black episode.’

And yet no white people were featured in either the Cafe, or the public house? And all the extras were black? All by accident? They also refused to confirm or deny that the episode was also written by blacks.

I am sure that many whites saw this episode as a criticism of whites, labelling them racists and criticising the conduct of their ancestors once again. Such programming is hardly the best way of promoting racial harmony, but that is just typical of the BBC, they believe that ethnicitising white characters will somehow keep the Negroes happy with the lack of top BBC officials, and either fail to realise or care about the possible white backlash. Such actions by the BBC only breed hate and resentment, but fortunately for the upper class white men at the top of the BBC, the backlash is not something that they need to worry about.

The Black Doctor

It’s been six months since my last post and I honestly believed that I had covered everything that I wanted to and discussed all of the points that had enticed me into starting a blog in the first place, but recent news has compelled me to post once again.

I have been a fan of Doctor Who ever since I was a boy. It is a quintessentially British programme that I enjoyed immensely growing up.

I won’t say who my favourite Doctor was, as it would show my age, suffice to say he was more of a Grandfatherly figure than the modern Doctors.

It may come as a surprise to some, but I am actually saddened by the news that the new actor replacing David Tennant is black.

Negroes Need White’s Cast Off’s

As a boy I loved the Arthurian legends, and let’s be honest, what young boy could fail to be captivated by those tall tales of magic, chivalry and swordsmanship.

Because of this I was quite looking forward to the new BBC adaptation of these legends, even though it would be primarily aimed at children.

Initially I was saddened by the news that ‘Merlin’ as it was to be called would be based on Merlin and Arthur as two boys and would not follow the old legends in any way shape or form.

Next the BBC went on to insult my intelligence and my race by having Queen Genevieve played by a Negro.

I have mentioned before that it seems to be in fashion at present to criticise movies and TV for not featuring enough black faces, Spike Lee recently criticised Clint Eastwood for not having any, or enough, Negroes in his movies. Next, incredibly the head of equality in the UK has claimed that British television is too white!

Campbell wouldn’t know racism if she tripped over it

When I was a boy things were decidedly different in this country, it was a time of change and upheaval. Britain had emerged from WWII poorer, Empireless and weak and for those that had grown up in the most powerful nation on earth, this was quite a shocking change.

For most the Empire was an abstract concept, they knew it existed, they also knew that it belonged to Britain, but for most the peoples of the Empire were conquered peoples, subjugated and in many cases deemed to be savage or primitive. It was quite a shock then during this time of change, for the former peoples of the Empire to arrive in Britain and to live and work amongst them.

Eastwood puts Lee in his place

After a long absence it seems that I am picking up right where I left off, another black celebrity bemoaning the lack of black faces in the media. This time however it is US director, Spike Lee who said of Eastwood’s film Flags of our Fathers;

That was his version. The Negro version did not exist

An extremely pointless and unhelpful comment but one that seems to pervade the mentality of many leading black celebrities. As if every historical event should be based on today’s ethnic make up, rather than reality.

How many is enough?

I was quite surprised to hear Lenny Henry complaining recently about a lack of ethnic diversity on television. He said:

“When I started, I was surrounded by a predominantly white workforce, and 32 years later, not a lot has changed,”

I am not sure what he really expects to see in his workplace, but with 90% of people in the UK being white, almost all workforces are likely to be predominately white. The laws of probability states that for every 100 people in the television industry, just 2 will be black and 90 will be white.

When I was a boy, the only time that I would see a black man on TV was when my father walked over to turn the set on and I caught sight of his reflection. These days television is positively brimming with black people, and other ethnic minorities for that matter. Certainly a marked change from a few decades ago. Indeed, Lenny Henry claims that nothing has changed since he started his career, but that isn’t true. Lenny Henry was unique, because he was the only black comic on TV at that time. I remember seeing him for the first time on New Faces.

Black Heritage and Culture

Nottingham has in recent years become almost as famous for its crime rate than for its legendary son, Robin Hood. Nicknames such as Assasination City and Shootingham say it all really, so I wasn’t too surprised to hear of boys from a Nottingham school being excluded for bringing in a knife.

That was until I read that they were primary school children.

Three boys have been excluded for seven days and a 10-year-old boy they allegedly threatened has been told to stay away for three days.

A vegetable knife was found in the bag of the 10-year-old who attends St Ann’s Well Junior School, Nottingham.

Why I’m a negro – and proud of it

I understand that some people may be offended by the term ‘Negro’, the ironic thing is, most of them are probably white. There are reasons why I use the term Negro rather than others.

Initially I had intended to write this blog from a 18th Century perspective as Ignatius Sancho, even writing as such e.g. thou shallst readeth mine blog with reverence etc, however that grew very tiresome before even the first post. I did however like the archaic word Negro.

Split Personality?

Well it seems that no sooner was my ban lifted on the prejudiced blog of Stefania Harris, than it was reimposed. I did however manage to make one comment that was retained, pointing out the errors with the original post, comment number 85 is mine.

Again Steph, who at this point had assumed the persona of an 18 girl called Amie, changed my name to ‘Gareth’ but rather than troll, this time I was labelled ‘retard’. Ha Ha, such hilarity! It never grows old! My name isn’t Gareth yet she continuously addresses me as such, ha ha!

‘Amie’ went on to answer my comment stating:

@ Gareth

You’re so stupid.

I admit, I was dumbfounded by such a witty retort, but I read on.

No one ever said that interracial relationships were uncommon in the black community. Steph said it wasn’t common for white women to date black men and the number interracial marriages is 2% of the total.

Females are over 50% of the population. White females are 92% of the female population. Black men are less than 1% of the male population. And you want to look at the percentage of black men dating white women to make a statement about interracial dating in the UK?

*roll eyes*

‘Amie’ I don’t see your point. The original post clearly implied that Britain, and white people in general, were racist and had negative attitudes towards black people. The primary focus was that white women do not date black men.

This is completely untrue; you then roll out a lot of percentages that only prove one thing, it is impossible for more than 600,000 women (1% of the population) to be dating black men, as there is only 600,000 black men in the UK!

Furthermore you ignore that fact that mixed race children (those born of black and white parents) will soon outnumber black people in Britain, proving categorically that white people and black people not only date, but also have sex and therefore children!

Your view of a racist Britain is a complete fallacy and entirely based on a childish and ignorant grasp of maths and percentages!

*Slaps Head*

I don’t mind black people – just not in my area

Bizarre as it may seem, there are still those among the white community that believe that black people are some type of leper…

It’s not at all racist Errol, there a big difference between disapproving of your daughter having an interracial relationships and being opposed to them in general.

This from Stefania Harris over at Steph’s Blog. Of course it is racist Steph, you’re stopping your daughter from dating a negro purely on the basis of race. You are not interested in him as a person, nor what he can offer, you are pre judging him based on the fact that he is a negro. That Stefania, is the very definition of racism.

Saying it is OK to discriminate against people based on race is naive and offensive. Especially from a lawyer.
