Anti-racism chief gets sacked for racism.

In this article in the Sun newspaper. Sun. Ex-Celtic and Chelsea player Paul Elliot.

What gets me going is this quote: "...But it is understood Elliott insists the term was not offensive because of the
nature of the conversation and as it was between two black men..."

How the hell is it not offensive between 2 black men but it is between a white man and a black man. If you call a man a b*stard, it doesn't matter if he's black or white, you're still calling him a b*stard. Or am I missing something?

Ive heard them call each other that, including the girls, You try getting one into trouble for calling you a white honkey, You would be laughed at, one way street racism, I dont care what people call me, dosent bother me at all,
You are what you are, And i know what i would rather be, anywhere in the world,

When we were kids we found a b*stard in the phone book so we rang the number......
Is Dave there?
No, nobody called Dave lives here.
Oh, must be another f*cking b*stard then.

Thanks to Jo Brand for that one.
