Do they know it's Christmas

Post by enuff_zed » Thu Dec 08, 2022 2:13 pm

Heard it all now!
A mate's kid came home from school and said they've been discussing how the song 'Do they know it's Christmas' is racist as it is mocking Africans for not being Christian????
WTF!
Firstly, what are the teachers playing at, letting them carry on with that impression?
Secondly, sit the little feckers down and show them the original video!
I despair! :headbang:

I think they should pay compensation and let all the proceeds of that song go to the Africans :wink:

I'm getting sick to the back teeth of wokeism and woke/race ideology being forced onto people. It needs to stop.

The whole Nbongo Fulani (that's not even her real fkg name!) debacle was a complete joke with the royal family immediately sh!tting their collective pants and denouncing 'racism' so as to distance themselves from Susan Hussey. Talk about throwing someone under the bus!
:headbang:
I'm following the case of the NHS nurse who decided to challenge the NHS's policy of 'teaching', or rather, let's call a spade a spade; 'enforcing' wokeist race ideology on medical students. She deserves all the support she can get in my opinion.


...and don't get me started on these tw@ts:

Meghan playing the race card again and again..and again.....

I agree maybe the teachers will actually realise the video was supporting people in their time of need - teachers - £40k a year and I think kids could learn more off tiktok :headbang:

Her parents are Bajan, yet she has purported a West African name and style of dress. There are allegedly discrepancies in the charity she runs.

For once I'm in full agreement with Chris_D.

My wife works in a primary school in a 'deprived' (read shitehole) area of Peterborough.
She has stopped telling me some of the crap they get up to these days, as I get so annoyed she doesn't get any peace. Got to the stage where I would rather not know. :x
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I couldn’t help myself, after the tirade of insults I received from Chris_D on another thread, I ran the post he made at 3.59 through a grammar checker :rofl:

Yep another one agreeing with Chris_D, I'm not a racist, I just don't like her.

Chris_D is a really nice chap TBH. He just hides it extremely well. :)

The more you talk about race being an issue, it becomes an issue. Don’t understand how you can have a black only charity.
