All I want for Christmas is for black holocaust deniers to eat the crap that comes out of their mouths, Sarah Palin for example.
When the acclaimed journalist Martin Bashir was a sports reporter on "The Voice" newspaper 25 years ago, neither I nor any of his colleagues could have tipped him to be one of the most celebrated TV correspondents of his generation.
In fact, he was a bit of a tasty geezer in those days with a broad cockney accent that belies his current clipped vowels.
All that changed when a certain princess called up the Panorama programme and Martin happened to be sitting in the BBC studios in White City and picked up the phone. It’s the kind of call that every journalist dreams about but only happens in newspaper fairyland. It was the call that changed his career and turned him from being a hack grinding out a living in the media, to a superstar journalist with a million dollar a year pay packet.
No, I’m not jealous. And even if I am, I have to give respect to the man for standing up and being counted when the failed vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin compared federal taxes in the U.S. to slavery.
Over the last few weeks we have been inundated with slavery stories that seem to suggest that the kidnapping, rape and torture of our forefathers/mothers in the so-called Atlantic slave trade was akin to being subjected to cleaning up the mess in a flat in Brixton.
If I was a conspiracy theorist I would suggest that there is a concerted effort to minimise the inhumane and cowardly treatment of our foremothers/fathers to justify, or at the very least, make the enslavement of Africans more palatable in these politically correct modern times. Not just here in Europe but in the United States too.
That is where the one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store comes in. Sarah Palin knew very well what she was doing when she compared the pain of paying taxes with the pain of enslavement that the United States of America is built on.
She was telling white Americans that slavery was no big deal - no need to lose sleep over what your forefathers did.
Martin Bashir couldn’t stomach it any more. Despite the fact that he was on a million dollars a year contract, he stood up for all of us who are the descendants of enslaved people and told her that she should have a taste of her own medicine - the excrement that enslaved people were forced to eat by sadistic slave owners.
Now, what’s so wrong about that you ask? Martin was only saying what so many black journalists were thinking but didn’t have the balls to say.
You see, to some of you, we black journalists are coconuts who have sold our people down the drain. But hold on. Are we not black? Do we not have hearts? If you cut us do we not bleed? Do we not feel the injustice?
Yes, we do, and sometimes it gets so much that we stop munching on a Bounty bar and kiss goodbye to our huge salaries so that we can speak up for our people. That’s what you lot put us in these positions of power to do, isn’t it?

Not exactly Mr. Adebejo, what Sarah was trying to tell you
is that slavery to government is no different than
slavery to another man, just because you, YOU happen
to like the kind of slavery and believe it’s justified
doesn’t make it any less slavery.
You don’t exactly understand the concept of FREEDOM
do you?
Tasty Geezer? is that something like a suculent twink?
One Eyed cat in a fish market?
Bashir a great journalist?
Not in fly over country.
t.
What the hell is a Dotun Adebayo and how did he/she get into my country?
He is a Nigerian born Brit who lives and works in the UK. He is an radio guy, writer,and publisher who as we can see is a huge commie liberal. The man has absolutely no business commenting on anything American, Brasier, Morgan and The Nigerian should dig a hole, jump in and cover it back up.
my forefathers were peasant in Russia and Ireland and I am not feeling one single ounce of guilt for slavery

Interesting, I don't remember Geraldine Ferraro EVER being described as a 'failed vice-presidential candidate'. I guess that description is saved for Republican candidates.
“Now those “niggas” (JFK quote I believe... I’m not calling them that myself) are on the bribery plantation.”
LBJ quote actually after the Civil rights bill was passed.
Was “Dotun” named after a car? (Ebonics spelling)
Miss Adebayo, whoever she is, is trying to get attention on the scale of the lowlife Bashir.
We’d do best to ignore her.
>> Was “Dotun” named after a car? (Ebonics spelling)
You reminded me of the silly joke about the hasty effort to name the vehicle...
Dat sun?
They hand out Affirmative Action Honors over there now?
