Making racist comments means that (perhaps) in private they disapprove of black members of British society.
So have you ever said something and though maybe I shouldnt have said that ? its very easy done, ive done it myself lots of times and even here deleted stuff because it just didnt come across right.
All Im saying is you just never know.
So they have to be perfect at all times ? and accidents dont happen just because they are royals ?
Nah i dont buy that, we all mistakes regardless of who we are.
Naaah, they're lizards innit.
Well if David Icke is to be believed...
Hey what kinda time is this to come on the boards........your late
I reckon they are racist. Supposedly the much 'beloved' Queen Mother hated blacks.
And Prince Phillip always makes some gaffe. Besides I don't think I've EVER seen a member of the royals associate with a non-white person. All of Will's friends are white!

"Do you know they have eating dogs for the anorexic now?"

Those quotes are insane. He's clueless. Imagine the gold he lets out when not quoted...
The royals drain us for money, but as long as they make good enterntainment value, I'll be a bit moe hapy about having them.
You can't make racist comments by mistake though!
At least Charles tries to be in touch though and Diana obvious wasn't racist.
What do you mean by representative? Should we have a Black royal, a white royal and a arab royal? What about some gay royals too? and of course some poor royals and some rich ones, Muslim ones, Christians, Hindus??
Also is what she said confirmed or just a accusation?
I would rather have a president at least we can vote for another person if we wanted to ever get rid of him
That's their job fuckwit.
The Queen as a figurehead with little political power is meant to be a unifying focus for the nation.
They also represent us abroad.
Keep up in future dipshit.
'the people most suited for power and responsibility dont want it, and vice versa' springs to mind thats why - with the queen its her duty to be head of state, and shes born with a lot of power, but a lot of responsibilty which i think the royalty tends to keep better than any politicians, as most politicians sell their souls for votes
voting for a new president is replacing one idiot with another, and it overcomes voter apathy too
So what if all of prince william's friends are white? he went to eton and then went to edinburgh university, not exactly the most diverse group of people you'll ever meet. and last time i checked, the UK was a country predominantly of people of caucasian background :P
What does who he's friends with have to do with things anyways? You get on with whoever you get on with. You have certain backgrounds, then you meet certain sort of people. I'm chinese but all my friends are white :rolleyes:

Or angry?
I am fed up of people not being able to distinguish between insults and racism. I really am.
No doubt somebody will bleat "but people who think or say those words obviously are prejudiced", but that is a moronic viewpoint in the extreme.
When people are intoxicated or angry they use insulting words- it doesn't show bigotry, and it doesn't show racism.
"Racism" seems to the the thought-crime of the moment, but the stupid thing is it is instances like this that everyone bleats about as "racist". Intent not words, people.
right.... so if i was white and not chinese then the fact that all my close friends are white would mean i was racist? :rolleyes:
kermit - i do agree with your sentiments, especially:
