    usually if people are offended by the word * its usually white people that complain...I had a black friend and he told white jokes and I told black jokes....he was a spot on guy....none of this bullshit nowadays...

    As chris rock says the most racist people in the world are old black men...due to that 60s * they went through....Clarkson is a non * story,people don't like him so wait on shhit like this to embarrass him or get to him..

    sick of this PC * nowadays....there are scotch jokes,irish jokes,black jokes,yellow jokes......if people are offended by it then * tie a noose around your neck because your a pathetic human being imo......however calling someone a "Ni**er pan handling *"....then I can see offence in this due to it being volatile and hostile towards him......

    people know the difference between a * joke and being aggressive and racist...the real * are the ones that pretend its causing offence when its not..

    And the * about Blackboards/ba ba black sheep being banned is * cringeworthy to the human race.....it wasn't offencsive back then but is now? *

    Utter bullshit hes apologising for that.....one of the biggest movies last year that earned 130 million dollars and watched by millions of people Django unchained....its a movie and the word "*" was used over 120 times.....now.....I cant remember millions of people bombarding the studios/directors/actors/publicists etc etc......there where a few groans about the word being used...

    So I ask why is one use of this so called expletive is explosive yet a movie with 120 plus (and don't forget other movies/tvshows/documentaires etc) that have used it isn't...why? because they CHOOSE WHEN IT OFFENDS THEM, hence its handpicked in the mood they are in or the situation they are in.

    I tell jokes /I receive jokes I laugh at all jokes that have a funny conitation to it.....doesn't make anyone racist because they say it.....again unless it is used in a situation where the individual KNOWS for it to cause offence and be racist.....this goes for black/white/yellow and even * purple coloured....its bullshit

    I was watching my nephew one day, he's 2. Anyway he's singing away and starts singing a nursery rhyme. 'Baa Baa Blue Sheep'. Apparently the other one they sing is Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep. What the *?

    I always thought the whole changing of ba ba black sheep was a myth.

    What? It's a film about slavery? It's essential in order to contextualise the story. It's in no way comparable to someone using that kind of language in a tasteless joke in this day and age.

    People shouldn't have to apologise for being uncomfortable with racial slurs. You can't point to ludicrous examples of children being told not to use the word black in a nursery rhyme to show that political correctness has gone too far and use that as a justification for using racial slurs in jokes. It doesn't really matter what the person's intention is behind it when they're telling a joke or using the language casually, it makes people squirm, even if it's not offensive to them personally. It's genuinely uncomfortable for a lot of people; it's not put on.

    ye but he apologised because he was made out to be a racist...he isn't.

    If he sang Ba Ba black sheep...would he have had to apologise also?

    IMO near everyone has laughed at a joke where the context was wrong...we aren't racist for listening to it or telling it...a white guy can tell a white joke as much as a white guy can tell a black...the problem is the world is * beyond repairable with this kind of *....Whats next, will I get arrested in B&Q for asking for black paint?

    As stated before,more and more people just CHOOSE WHEN TO BE OFFENDED in a self righteous kinda way "oh look at me im a * do-gooder and im gonna tell on ye"

    Neo Nazis are believed to be racist and are due to the beliefs of what they have....so they attack people based on their religion/creed/colour etc....this is not tolerated and has racial hatred...

    An englishman called me a scotch git last week,was I offended ? NO

    And I don't choose when to be..

    I believe Clarkson has been forced into apologising in this film as he states....is he a racist? NO Did he use derogatory words? he muffled a song that had lyrics in it and was commonly used many years ago...so was the person making a complaint just because its clarkson or was the complaint made because they believe he is a racist monster?

    Honestly where does it stop...the PC brigade needs to * chill the * out man

    Lot of pish, labels are thrown around at people all the time nowadays (bigot/fascist/racist/*/zionist/homophobic) with faux outrage demanding apologies when nothing of that nature was meant just cause words were used.

    Clarkson's a * but based on this at least he's not a racist.
