The equal opportunity racist: A white man stands trial for calling three white security guards ‘honky wannabe cops’
Race remains a tricky issue. In the States, it is often said that there is this serious offence, ‘Driving while black’, which, of course, is a joke – sort of…
These days, in most of the West, you’re as likely to get into trouble for ‘Talking while white’ as it is for differently shaded people to be discriminated against. The PC rule book is somewhat more complicated than the old Ten Commandments but breaking these PC commandments will get you into trouble a Hell of a lot faster than disregarding those old laws will.
Still, even the authors and guardians of the 1001 PC Commandments would have some trouble quantifying and qualifying the following, no doubt, grave sin:
A white man has admitted of racially abusing three white security guards. Jonathan Wicks admitted using abusive or insulting words which were racially aggravated, after calling the security men “honky wannabe cops.”
Which he did, by the way, when they caught him stealing a bike. As someone who has had a few bikes stolen as well, I’m with the new mayor of London who once said that bicycle thieves should be summarily shot – but that’s an entirely other matter.
Anyway, there’s this saying about the pot calling the kettle black. Admittedly, this is more a case of a (KKK) sheet calling another sheet white.. or no, it’s more bizarre, of course: like one lily of the field calling another lily a mofu black dahlia, or something.
Headache inducing stuff, whichever way you look at it.
Still, let this be a lesson to all those stupid white (middle class) kids who want to adopt a black ghetto look & sound. Just don’t. You will not look cool but merely incredibly silly – and you will most likely end up stealing bikes, abusing security guards and being shot to death by Boris Johnson.

So what? Freedom of speech. He wasn’t threatening them, he wasn’t defaming them, he was just insulting them.
Oh, it was in England. Never mind, I forgot that the Brits abandoned their civil rights years ago.
