Alan Sugar in twitter storm

walked past him last week near Cannon St getting into his car. Instantly I did the thing that I absolutely detest when I see others doing it and pulled out my phone and started taking pictures.

He's surprisingly taller than I thought :-)

308 pages.

It's an idiotic thing to post.

Looking forward to the posts justifying it.

Has anyone asked what the Senegalese think?

Don't be silly, everyone needs to be outraged on someone else's behalf. It's the new national sport.

I see love island was labelled racist yesterday for people using the description as mixed race being a type, non story bit of lighthearted generalisation, as you do get Africans selling sunglasses on beaches in Spain and such, not racist shows what a pc world we now live in.

I don’t know how many things people can be “outraged” about at once, the rise in knife crime, burglaries going up, shit trains - no let’s focus on alan sugar tweeting about lookie lookie men.

I couldn't disagree more, I feel this is a very racist tweet. He's clearly saying they all look the same and stereotyping black Africans IMO

are you a black african? if so how does it make you feel if not how do you know how a black african feels.

i know we have got irish posters on here so will use that as an example, being part Irish i don't get upset when people say they'll be too pissed to do it or there out crazy paving or things to that affect.
equally my grandad was a glasgow man i regularly make jokes about them being tight.

its light humour - the aim isnt to upset people, as above bit different saying it to your mates down the pub not on twitter with millions of followers and once its out there there is no deleting.

So basically you can't be racist unless you are aiming it directly towards someone who is a different race to yourself?

meaning; prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

ones own race is superior - obviously if you are the same then no you can't as per above.

he is "tweeting" that some football players looked like some lookie lookie sellers in spain after someone had mocked up a photo of them being portrayed as beach sellers - as i said in my 1st post - non story.

People must make their own lives so miserable getting upset or outraged at these things

This is bad as well.

Bit nervous posting that, someone on the internet may think I have a miserable life.

Poland could have done that last night and I don't think anyone would have noticed anyone apart from Lewandowski.

Nothing to do with race.

Looking forward to it.

Humour? What was even slightly comical about Sugar's post though.

Are you disagreeing that Sugar was saying they all look the same? I think he was saying that and I think that's a disrespectful thing to do.

Jokes about stereotypes are very common, I accept that, but I personally think this was unfunny and unnecessary.

Obviously people have no right to be offended by this either.

I find the fat cunt offensive regardless of what shite comes out its mouth

Are you talking about Alan Sugar?

i don't think he photo shopped the sunglasses in though did he?

My half brother calls me a Romanian gypsy, big issue boy etc as my father had one Italian and one Romanian parent.

Damn his racism.
