If a black person is disliked, people automatically jump on the racism card. I dislike him in the same way I dislike Gary Lineker, Bonio, Keith Lemon, Vic Reeves.
I know nothing about any of them beyond their public persona - I’ve just taken a dislike to them based on that. Superficial and irrational, of course, but there you go.

The same way that if you disagree with the Israelis attacks on the Palestinians or disagree with any of Israels political policies then you automatically become anti-semitic. Colour and race is not the deciding factor in hating someone, I judge if I like somone based upon what they do and how the do it. |

Which is all well and good on an individual level, but how do you explain the excess hate/grief that non white celebrities get over white ones?

That colour and race is the deciding factor in hating someone for some of the population, but not all of the population. Its like the other thing that gets on my tits this idea that you must respect people who are older than you, I will respect older people if they earn it, its not a given just because they have been lucky enough to live so long. Oh and don't get me started on people under 80 wittering on about the war! |

I get accused of bigotry because I oppose Islam, but I also oppose all religions. It's a convenient way for people to shut down any criticism of it. I get more joy debating the Quran with Muslim apologists than I do with Non-Muslims on the far left. I don't agree with the Muslims, but at least they will discuss it with you. The far left just say you are lying (despite everybody being able to read the stuff), and then go about screaming 'BIGOT'. You get nowhere with them, which is probably the intention. It was actually a Muslim that coined the term 'regressive left' in reference to the people described above. |

Young man, some of us under 80 have been to war or in a war zone since WWII. |

How have you measured this, do you have examples? |

Maajid Nawaz? We need more centre-left free thinkers like him. The US actually seems to be producing more currently, perhaps because society and debate is even more polarised in general than here. |
