Good ole Lenny, he was quite happy to also take the piss out of somebody who had a speech impediment as well remember, his apology to the botanist was deafening NOT.!!
Yes I remember the Lenny Henry clip, he's "Woke" as fuck now, nothing like jumping on the bandwagon is there. The film I was referring to was I think was a Eddy Murphy film. P.S. Mr Lenny Henry was & is still happy to take the "White" pound isn't he lol.
A blacked up Spike Milligan is starting to ring a bell with me, that's another one they complained about white folk blacking up, this all started with them thick college / university dickheads somebody going to fancy dress party with Mexico sombarro on. I can't go to fancy dress party now as Mohammod Ali or Sammy Davies Jr or Ghandi. I seen a film once where the black actor whitened up to catch a bus but fuckall was said about this.
I don't remember that one, maybe because it was quickly removed. Going slightly off track here I heard warnings on the Comedy Channel on re-runs of Allo Allo, Dad's Army because of the anti foriegn theme running through these shows, some fucker complained about these maybe just one person, it only takes one person today & companies, TV stations fucking shit themselves & apologise like fuck, this encourages the WOKE PC brigade to complain more & more & about anything else that tickles their fancy.
Nobody was offended then because it was the 70s but today the "Woke brigade" are offended by everything that don't fit with their agenda. Don't you see what's happening around you today.??
Can you just imagine the uproar if they re-run "On The Buses" on TV today, the "Woke, PC, Snowflakes" amongst us would have a fucking melt-down.!!! lol ( I'm old enough to remember watching On The Buses many moons ago)
