Fordyce called me a coconut

IMO this event is a microcosm of what's happening in S.A. Useful idiots being cast aside by their former ANC comrades :erm:

Oh diddums - the HRC for getting called a coconut ?!

A public apology for something said at a small get together ?

Hardly comparable to the other ' celebrity ' currently at the HRC....

PS: Heaven forbid everyone who bad-mouths McBride gets the same attention.

Hey, if it does end badly for Fordyce then this will set a precedent for every member of the ruling party (and YL). The moment they mention the unmentionable seed of certain palm tree we can haul them to the HRC.

However, I thought a white person calling a black person a coconut was a compliment, not an insult? :confused::D:p

The word 'coconut' seems so harmless doesn't it ?

The worst case scenario is surely the classical cartoon of a coconut falling on your head.

Racial slurring ain't cool, but neither is vindictive oversensitivity.

Lest we forget:

702 lays complaint about 'coconut' slur
Jon Qwelane refuses to apologise
