This was on Danish TV @tv2newsdk where hosts jokingly equate #MAR players hugging their mothers after games with monkeys.
“Because they stick together, they also do that during family reunions in Qatar, in #Morocco” whilst holding up photo of monkeys.

TV 2 apologizes for inappropriate and offensive comment from a host of TV 2 NEWS

In the current affairs program 'NEWS & Co.' on Danish TV 2 NEWS on Monday December 12, an inappropriate comment was made in relation to the Moroccan national football team. TV 2 sincerely apologizes for the comment.

In the current affairs program 'NEWS & Co.' on Danish TV 2 NEWS on December 12, the panel spoke about the World Cup in football, where the Moroccan national team has their families with them to support the team.

TV 2 NEWS host Christian Høgh Andersen draws a line between staying together as a family to the next topic about animals. Unintentionally, this becomes a comparison between Morocco's national football team and their families, and a picture of a monkey family that host Søren Lippert presents for the following topic.

This can be perceived as a racist comment, and both TV 2 and Christian Høgh Andersen would like to give a profound apology for that.

Anne Mette Svane, editor-in-chief at TV 2 NEWS, comments:

- We deeply apologize that a host on TV 2 NEWS made a comment that is both wrong and offensive. Although it was not the intention of the host, it is a remark that both our host and TV 2 dissociate from. This was a clear mistake, we apologize for it, and we will take it into account in our work at TV 2 NEWS, says Anne Mette Svane.

Christian Høgh Andersen, host on TV 2 NEWS, comments:
- I am very sorry that I made a completely wrong comparison. It was never my intention, but it is both wrong and offensive, and I would like to apologize for that.

TV 2 has apologized to the viewers who have contacted TV 2, and also believes it is necessary to dissociate from the inappropriate comment publicly.

Racism, the upgraded version of tribalism

If Moroccans vex again and attack him, they would label them violent

Morrocans are Niether Arab nor Africans but European settlers and Berbers from Spain and other Europe

Islam spread and intermarriage just made everyone tag them Arabs

Just the other time someone was calling Persian people of Iran Arabs just because of Islam, even Pakistani are tagged Arabs

If Danish people can consider Morrocans who also have white skin as monkeys, imagine how they see black people.

Until Africans get their leadership right and stop asking for favours from the Caucasians, nobody will take Africans seriously.

In short, people who shove Bola Tinubu down our throats are the biggest enemies of this country.

If the black man does not push back on white racism, it might grow into genocide and ethnic cleansing some day!

Time has come for Africans in particular and blacks in general to start acting the way Muslims act when you insult their prophet as it regards racism.

The West seem to be getting bolder and bolder in their ruthless desperation to classify blacks/Africans as subhumans. It's revolting!

This is not the kind of problem you solve by talking sense to anyone, it's a problem you solve by acting badly like the originator!

Monkeys and banana have been used as major symbols for racism.
There are other animals he could have used to explain family bonds.

Whereras we literally worship them here in Africa. Even our security operatives would offer protection to a white man at the expense of a tax paying citizen.

The sooner we Africans realize that whites don't give a fúck about us the better for us.

From what I read, it was a case of 2 unrelated topics following each other and viewers considering it to be a comparison between the 1st topic (Morrocan Footballers) and the 2nd topic (Monkeys).

These White people enslaved Africans & forced Christianity on them, using missionaries as their pet projects for easier communication with monkeys.
The descendants of these black slaves now choose to hate & become envious of Morrocans for not denying their Arabian heritage, like them. Subsaharan needs to wake up and develop more like the North Africans.

Africa has what it takes but a lot of Africans do not believe in themselves. They feel nothing good can come out of Africa.

A lot of Africans still think that the whites are superior to blacks.

To do the unthinkable, you have to first believe that you can.

let's all take a stance against racism that's what we blacks say but they will keep mute because they are arabs, u see now the danish guy have come for them too. That's what happens if we say "nothing concerns me" when evil is done because it's that same evil u purposely looked away from that will still haunt u
