    We say goodbye to this incredible legend tomorrow. He was the 1st in our family to go to university; a highly-respected accountant who worked in London & Paris; a true intellectual; lover of classic jazz & punk rock; an understated rebel; a man I looked up to: my amazing brother

    Wow. Black women can’t be shown hiking on TV without being the target of racist viewers. Some people are so sad and pathetic to have to complain to the BBC. Just WOW ===>>

    So if a contributor said I want the reporter to use the C***word in the package, would they do it? The N-word carries the same ABSOLUTELY NO USAGE level of offence in my book. ‘BBC defends use of racial slur in news report’

    BBC defends use of racial slur in news report
    The BBC says its reporting of the word allegedly used in an attack was supported by the victim's family.

    Chris Rock made Black people the butt of his jokes in a lazy Netflix special @Nadine_Writes===>> I am less inclined to bother with watching it now, after reading Nadine's assessment

    Nothing can prepare you for standing in a room full of coffins, choosing which is best for your sibling. Nothing can prepare you for deciding the music & readings to include in their funeral service. Nothing can prepare you for writing their eulogy. But I am almost there🙏🏾

    Absolutely astonished and deeply disappointed that the BBC allowed such a slur to be aired at all. What on earth is the world coming to? Allowing this sort of vile Trump-esque name-calling to play out on primetime. And aimed at @alexberesfordTV. It’s wholly unacceptable IMO
