BBC Journalist Fired After Rascist Tweet by FactBoyz(op):
[b][/b]
A journalist working for BBC has been fired after making a joke about the newest royal baby that was considered racist by many people.



Shortly after the announcement of the baby into the royal family, Danny Baker shared a photo of a chimpanzee dressed in high end clothing. In a controversial Twitter photo that has since been deleted, the tiny chimpanzee was walking hand in hand with a lady and a man who seemed to represent a couple. The journalist then captioned the photo ''royal baby leaves hospital.



According to BBC, his sentiments were an error in judgement and a spokesman from the media house confirmed Danny will no longer be working for the organisation. The 61-year-old used to host a show on the network that aired over the weekend.


Most of his followers termed the joke as racist and tasteless as they urged him to pull the post down. Others even directed BBC to do the right thing and fire the journalist having perceived the tweet as a racist attack on Duchess Meghan Markle's black background.

BBC is a washed up fake news outlet that has since lost its relevance (along with CNN) on the global scene.

How can an evil organization built on the enslavement of the black race judge another for racism - something its founding fathers and the "royals" they desperately protect invented - whilst forgetting its own grimy, dark past.

BBC is a relic.





NCAN formally extends an invitation to Mr. Danny Baker, a worthy knight for our noble cause, to take up a leadership position in our esteemed organization.

His vast experience and precise mastery of racism in its purest form will prove invaluable to NCAN's unflagging pursuit of national and ultimately, global acceptance.

Long live NCAN!
Long live tribalism!!
Long live racism!!!
