Are the BBC Racist
Discussion
On Friday afternoon while listening to Radio 2 it was continually broadcast on the news about the story of the black man placed in the coffin by 2 white farmers and threatened with getting petrol poured on him. This was allegedly done to scare him off as they thought he was stealing. The white farmers were sentenced to 11 and 14 years in prison.
In the last month alone there have been 4 white farmers murdered in the Western Cape and I have not once heard anything about it on the national daytime news on Radio 2. Were the white farmers the wrong colour to be considered newsworthy when they are the victims? Is being placed pemenantly in a coffin not as newsworthy as being temporarily placed in one?

Who's Eric?
Usually whenever a BBC thread pops up Eric Mc will defend the BBC with considerable well thought out responses. His post coint is very high and the reference was to him hitting a certain figure.Also usually what happens is that whenever a BBC titled thread appears you usually get a "not another BBC thread" response as if having more than a few is somehow detrimental. I was just playing on that.

Can an organisation be racist?
The members can be, but I do not subscribe to the idea that an organisation can be.
Seems like anthropomorphism to me.
Well, they were burning crosses on CBeebies the other day and I swear I heard them using the 'N' word on Gardeners World.The members can be, but I do not subscribe to the idea that an organisation can be.

So yes, the whole of the BBC is racist.
if only there was an existing BBC bashing thread
I am interested in why the op thinks the bbc should report murders in south africa ?
i am positive that the south african media reports every single tragic case of murder in the uk as a matter of course.
on a serious note i would think the bbc reported the incident as it is a unusual occurrence where as murder (in most parts of the world) is sadly quite common
but that doesn't quite fit in with the ops own bias

The whole modern "progressive" movement, which defines, catagorises and treats people according to immutable charictoristics such as race, colour and sex, is inherently bigoted and that includes racist.
The BBC is largely run by those who unquestionly subscribe to the "progressive" ideology.

Do you honestly think the world hasn't always done that? And still does it all over the world. Haven't women, gay people, black people etc etc always been treated according to those characteristics? Or did it only start happening because "progressive" people stated talking about it? Randy Winkman said:

And I believe, quite ironically, todays virtue signalling, social justice warriors are the mindset that were probably the biggest racists back when that was okay.
Because theres always been people making a thing of something and people just trying to get on with life.
