Actually i think that the episode of coronation street on friday 7/12/2013 was a disgrace. The script of the programme was not to highlight racism but to incite it instead. I find it a disgrace that such programmes highlight racism as if only white people are racists. I am born and bred in a highly populated area by ethnic 'minorities' and in fact a lot of my good friends are black and i assure you that a higher majority of black people are much more racist towards white people than the other way around, yet this is never highlighted. The press is just as guilty for inciting racism, in thier way they handle crime. For example if 2 white guys beat up a black guy it is reported as a racist attack, if 2 black guys beat up a white guy it is just assault, When such programmes use a saying such as 'play the white man' to portray white people as racists it is not helping racism but firing it up instead. When the character lloyd showed rage for over hearing that saying it overstated the impact it would have in reality. Black people constantly call each other 'nigger' but if a white person said it to a black friend people seem to be outraged, racism is not just inclusive to black people, it is appliable to everyone regardless of colour, race or religion. If the producer or script writer who created that scene in coronation street is a black person themselves then they should be sacked as it is apparent they are a racist or at least a person who does nothing to cure racism but incite it instead. The fact that the producers needed to find a old fashioned saying to portray racism only to highlight white people as racists is disgusting, maybe you should highlight black people blaming white people of today for slavery of 100's of years ago, if that isnt racist then you walk through life with your eyes closed
not as terrible as the corrie script to make out every white person is racist and a member of the national front as lloyd just said carboard paul is
I think that maybe it will come out that Lloyd has a chip on his shoulder as he showed his own bigotry when he said we'll get FAT Brenda in to cover for Eileen.
shame the moronic scriptwriters and producers dont consider that as sexism, fatism, degrading too, 'fat' Brenda? glad coronation street producers like to make fun of fat people. To be honest,in real life there is not a chance in heaven or hell that the slip of a saying such as that would cause such an uproar, the producers dont live in the real world if they think it would
are the cracks beginning to show now phil collinson has left?
It is never highlighted in life either.. to me and possibly many others, it is only called Racism if it is a white person attacking a black person.. I have seen this on many occasion where black bus driver have been verbally abuse to white kids and nothing was done but the other way around and it is a race war.. Corrie just showed what is reflected in life so not badly written, true to lifeQuote:
