Alan Sugar on Twitter

[dangermows]

All black africans look the same LOL

 

[chr1s1973]

And yet Sugar thought it was perfectly fine to basically say "haha look, all Senegalese people look the same!", which is what his "joke" amounted to. If you can't see how offensive that is then you're a wrong un mate

Not just that they look the same,but they are only capable of selling dodgy shit on the beach.

The days of "it's a joke" as an excuse are long long gone and I can't believe some on this thread think they are clever with this whole overly sensitive bollocks.

Its really not that bad like, its a f***ing joke.

Is it? It’s not a very funny one if it is.

 

[ErichZann]

Just saw the picture and I am unoffended.

 

[LondonMackem]

Someone in his position should know better as it's always gonna cause public outrage. Keep it in the whatsapp groups with your pals like @Mackem00 said.

made me smile

people just love to be offended these days

People used to get offended by the sight of a woman's ankle in the past.

I remember my dad telling jokes about Jews having big noses and being tight when I was little.

Whether it’s racism, antisemitism or stereotyping in order to be derogatory to groups of people, it’s still wrong.

Sugar would be up in arms about my dad’s jokes, and rightly so.

I'll never understand how making jokes about ginger people is acceptable.

I suspect that's because
A) You're not black
B) You're not from Senagal
C) You think that because it doesn't involve you it should go unchallenged.

That about right?

AGREED!
I'm not ginger, but I've never understood why they get such abuse. It's practically a form of racism in its own right.
They are a group which has a uniting factor and they get the dogs abuse for absolutely no good reason

 

[dangermows]

Imagine thinking if you thought it was a shit thing to tweet that all black africans look the same you are offended

Also, imagine thinking its funny crack

It's not that.....I just didn't think it was that bad and certainly not malicious.

If it had been pinged around a whatsapp group between mates, you'd probably raise and eyebrow and say "Naughty..." or whatever, but when you ping it out to over 5 million followers when you're in his position, you're going to get called on it

Yes that would cause a bit of a stir

 

[lurker]

He’s supposed to represent the British people, whether they’re black or white.;

 

[Bob Fleming]

It's utterly stupid is what it is as of course a black person may find that offensive - oh you're black you all look just like the looky looky men. Malicious? Probably not. Offensive - aye.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

It’s really not man

It's not slightly funny, it's quite funny.

Resourceful chaps is the funny bit. IMHO.

It's racist is what it is.
Get your shit together.

Funny is funny.

a lot of older generations would find this amusing. I said at the beginning it was mildly funny. Funny was probably the wrong word. It was mildy amusing.. didn't make me laugh but it also didn't make me get annoyed. Its a bit crass and silly from someone in the public eye who should no better

The comment is quite funny. The reaction is hilarious. In the context of the internet and the way the mob reacts I think he was extremely stupid to post but that makes the thing funnier.

He's taking other people's shite crack now. Suppose racists are thick and can't think for themselves. Ginger, racist and thick. And supports the Cowboys. I hope reincarnation is true because that's just cruel

Lol

Oh shut up Bernard Manning

I admire the tenacity of blokes who grub a living selling tat in resorts. Good luck to them.

But the do look very similar and the term "resourceful chaps" is quite funny.

I'm not going to censor what I find funny for pious pricks on the internet. Thanks.

I'd be one of the 1st to call some fucker out for "virtue-signalling". This was just casual racism. Suger is a bellend.
