From the taxi men at the airport to the restaurant and jostling and general aggression from randomers in the street there was a lot of hostility and insults often in pidgin English. Said it was a level worse than anything you would get in Europe.

Just said there he spoke out and congratulated the gards for stopping a bus yesterday and detaining to African men who had no i.d. A complaint has been put in against him by the immigration council of Ireland and they asked him to take down his tweet. Well he just let rip at them there and told it unlike anyone else has the balls too. Only one worth listening too on radio.

Or a misshapen carrot for that matter, in which case he'd be accused of being racist against himself. Don't beat me master... I won't run again. That's an example of a comment a racist might make, not a joke about some prick waving a poxy banana/plantain/carrot/leek around the place like a spa.

There was no racism in that video. In fact the only person in the video that came close to being racist was the taxi driver himself.

It's like they can't stop themselves. Wonder what his previous boards username was. They also seem always angry ..... even with the constant use of LOL's and emojis in their posts.
MrFresh wrote: » Can you point to the post you are referring to where I used a sexual innuendo retort, a LoL or an emoji? I don't think I've done any of those things other than the use of the word circljerk. I certainly haven't shown a proclivity towards them.
MrFresh wrote: » Sure, call it whatever, the point still stands. If you are the victim of racism in another country it doesn't justify being racist in your own. You seem to have missed my point. In your opinion a white guy being abused in Lagos is being treated 'badly', a black guy ( can I use that term without offending anyone?) being abused here and it's all out, screaming racism..

MrFresh wrote: » But the poster didn't specify racial abuse in Lagos. He said his friend was called every name under the sun. But if it puts your mind at ease, I don't think racism is limited to any particular race. Anyone of any race can be racist towards any race and it's equally as wrong.
