Clarkson issue: Is that it..?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlQjdUWqBLE

Its a media battle more than anything else

PC gone maaaaaad!

Thats the biggest pile of over reactionary turd since time began

What seems to escape the BBC's attention is that the N-word is used in rap tracks on its radio station Radio 1 Extra and no-one bats an eyelid.

The Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood must have used it hundreds or thousands of times on air.

Ironic.

Harriet Harman wants Clarkson sacked well thats the best reason yet to support him!! She clearly she considers a racist word far more serious than systematic child abuse with what organisations both her and her husband supported in the past and she didn't get the sack when that become public.

I think its more of a battle between the Mirror and the Sun as Clarkson writes for the Sun and the footage was leaked to the Mirror

People need to realise there is a difference between being racist and simply saying a racist word. It is all about context.

Not it isn't, using a racist word it's still racist. The reason black people use it is the same as Spurs fans using the word yid, they have reclaimed it as their own word to counter racism and anti-semitism.

This whole thing has been blown out of proportion though he has just mumbled some words and people will jump on the PC bandwagon to make themselves look good.

Of course there is a difference, otherwise you think Clarkson is a racist because he sang what is essentially a nursery rhyme to decide which car he liked best? Utter tripe. Its all about context and the words that come before and after are just as, if not, more important than the word itself.

Second part of the post is correct though.

That's so racist. He should get life without parole. Sickening how he can say such a thing to be honest.

Law changed in 2010. All about offence taken not giving, big difference lads

Im offended by that. Arrest this man

Pretty pathetic, a non story.

Im more concerned about did he pic the red or blue car

Things like this don't benefit race relations in any way shape or form.

If people kick off about minor things like this it just entrecnhes views further.

It is against the law to not pay tax too, dont think people should be front page news for it though.

If people could get in trouble for causing offence then we would all be behind bars.

He was not being racist, end of discussion.

I agree. But since the change in law it doesn't really matter

It does matter.

It is about how ridiculously easy some people are offended.

I say offended loosely because I cant imagine that anyone ACTUALLY is offended by this. But everyone loves an outrage.

Lol. Got to be on equality issue mukka

I don't like the term equality it offends me.

Arrest this man.

Absolutely ridiculous non-story.

Wonder how many of those slating him on here and in the world have sung along to a song with that word in it? Loads I bet.

I dont like Clarkeson at all but the reaction to this is ridiculous. Total non story!

It reminds me of when Alan Hansen (I think) perfectly innocently said "coloured" instead of the en vogue term at the time "black" and a similar racist outrage ensued.
