I don't see this pic - there's one on the first page of google image results where she looks blacker than she actually is but no monkey depictions - perhaps by the time I looked it had been pulled?

it has indeed been pulled

Agree this picture is crass but find Google to be a little hypocritical when they said they would not remove this image from the search results - haven't they suppressed search results in China?

Yes they have - but then they are required to do so by law there so I guess that they are sticking to the same principles.

I've never heard of black people being called monkeys before....... How have I never come across this before?

'cus your'e not black?

Sure that can't be the first similar depiction, so the bloke must have great SEO skills. Wonder if he's for hire?

Maybe AtW can help figure out how?

You'd be a product of the 70's then. Hey if you feel it's acceptable to call black people monkeys, be my guest to go up to the first group of black guys you see and give it a go. I'll look forward to hearing about the results.

Anyway, Harriet Harman is a bitch, whom I canny stand - I don't share any views with her as a rule, so stop with the insults - that one cut deep.

And I loved scum, great movie - where I was brung up was a bit like that borstal, least enough guys who were in and out of it to feel like one cept they talked jockanese!

Aye, a product of the seventies.
But everyone got insulted equally badly, it was a true insulting democracy. To be then told that a part of your insult armoury is not allowed because of some metrolpolitan gob sh1 te diktat was a bit of a bummer. It wasn't the black guys I knew who complained. As I never complained about the heaps of abuse that I have had to put up with.

mmm. Ok check out Google/ Scum where's yer tool

The way Carling speaks is the way we all talked where I was brung up.
We are not allowed to talk like that now because Snaw and Harriet Harman dont like it

oops... didn't notice at first. At least it's not as offensive as this one (NSIYHADS*)

Hilarious!! Once described as looking like a "clown having a fit".

Really? I genuinely had no idea. Does that mean that the way I might joking call a mate a 'monkey' would be a huge insult if they happened to be black?

I claim in my defence, I have lived most of my life in Cornwall and Durham. Neither of these has black people! The north-east is hugely homogeneous (if that's the right word).

My son thinks his laptop is racist. Everytime he boots it gives an error message - Failed to find a native to execute

in fact , you need to come round to my house one weekend
-only joking Snaw, calm down

LOL, not stressed at all. Think anyone who has to defend this, or finds it funny is at the intellectual level of a 7 year old and I've got nothing but pity for them.
