Ep 88 The One About Danny Baker

Danny Baker- Radio presenter tweeted the image with a Chimpanzee and two people. This image has been used a lot of times to throw ridicule at say the royal family or celebrities. 

When the royal baby is of mix heritage due to Meghan Markle family heritage, it can be viewed a whole different way.

Danny Baker took the tweet down within 8 mins but the damage was already done. The BBC decided to dismiss him and a police inquiry followed.

So when I discussed this at a network meeting I was surprised when a friend of mine Tosin, who is from Nigeria said 

"I don't think he was being racist at all" 

so this podcast covers this, we were joined remotely by Sabrina Francis 

an interesting and thought-provoking discussion
