There is as much genetic reason to divide people according to 'race' as there is height or hair colour.

I call for the abandonment of the abstract concept of race.

[MatSallehBoleh]

Anybody who watches this and thinks Richard Herring should look deep into the mirror and ask themselves "how am I intelligent enough to put food in my mouth?"

[standardbrit]

@MatSallehBoleh You realise that this sentence doesn't make any sense?

[MatSallehBoleh]

@standardbrit ah, hmm. Seems the middle bit went missing. It was supposed to say "Anybody who watches this and thinks Richard Herring is a racist, should look deep into the mirror" etc. Well spotted, it didn't make sense

[1883ross]

I've been to this show LIVE. A key part of the show deals with race by challenging racism but also liberal assumptions on racial identity. That it is interesting how we seek to divide, and further subdivide, ourselves into separate groups which only serves to obscure our essential and unifying humanity.

If you think this out of context clip makes him a racist - you're a fucking idiot.

[anoopatre]

@1883ross I agree with you wholeheartedly, with youtube's limit on the length and my idea of 'fair use' I couldn't provide the clip in complete context so apologies all around. It still makes me chuckle quite a bit and ah one day hope to see him live. Cheers

[keflar5]

There were not gas chambers  FACT

[standardbrit]

@keflar5 hateful propaganda

[keflar5]

@standardbrit No it is not, I used to think it was too till i looked at the evidence

[standardbrit]

@keflar5 Haha your comment got deleted. Return to schooling. :)

[keflar5]

@standardbrit HAHAHA why is a thought so dangerous to discuss, naybe you shoud ask yourself that, but then it is clear by your comment you have never questioned anything in your life. SUCK A DICK :)

[LondonPride25]

12dgdgdg You completely missed the point mate. He's playing with words and people's perceptions about what those words mean. Personally, I thought it was an intelligent and original way to undermine and deconstruct the concept of racism. And it was funny. And no, I'm not Richard Herring.

[FrogmortonHotchkiss]

There's something quite excitingly dangerous in this, which is that although he categorises himself as a 'wolly' liberal, he sharply critiques liberalism and explores the arbitrariness and provisionality of attitudes.

Rather than guarding against racism with anti-racism sentiments, pure nonracism is to not have it in your heart in the first place, rather than fearing it. It should not even have a place to take root. With liberals, I often feel that they are hacking at the leaves all the time.

[standardbrit]

@FrogmortonHotchkiss The thing I always like about Herring is he'll explore both sides of an argument. It really makes you think.

[StephenCymraeg]

Didn't he used to date Nadia Swahala?

[elsquibbs]

I think that's a Charlie Chaplain moustache.

[anoopatre]

@elsquibbs Exactly and now it's reclaimed! I wonder if one should start a Charlie Chaplin Mustache Day.

[Goobag]

Brilliant. He's really very good at his job.

[mdiem]

Pretty funny bit there!

[anoopatre]

@12dgdgdgdg Where does he say ONLY "white English people can be racist"? You sir are the sad one. Sad sad indeed.

[12dgdgdgdg]

The common theme through this is that only white English people can be racist. Utter rubbish. This guy cleary got picked on at school and hates the country of his birth. so very sad.

[Sodhats]

@12dgdgdgdg He doesn't say or imply that, and if you listen to his podcasts in which he talks about these subjects more in-depth it's clear he doesn't believe it either. Go away.

[TPman90]

his face from 3.20 to around 3.33 is priceless



[meotaku2]

And Daily Mail readers.

[TwiztedAnimator]

Is this guy Hitler's British, Hippie alter ego? lol, JK JK! I swear, I'm JK! It's really funny.

[Zombievomit]

@TwiztedAnimator He was deliberately looking like Hitler because he did a bit about if it's been long enough for people to start using that mustache again. EXPLANATION EXPLANATION! I swear! I'M EXPLAINING!

[dfarmbrough]

He's put on a bit of weight, hasn't he? Still funny though.

[anoopatre]

@12345l6789 Haven't seen 90s Comedian will have to check that out sometime.

@bittersound Thanks for informing @TheLordSod s/he might want to watch "Jesus Stigmata Love" to really get upset : D

[12345l6789]

Ah the venue where gofasterstripe recorded 90s comedian. The best stand up show ever.

Herring is still a genius though

[TheLordSod]

What a load of rubbish.

You don't need to be racist to not know what country somebody is from.

[bittersound]

@TheLordSod I think you may have missed the satirical point behind this.

[TheSalesmanMusic]

@TheLordSod You clearly didn't watch the video.

[TheLordSod]

@TheSalesmanMusic How can you possibly think that when i comment on what he says? Think!

[TheSalesmanMusic]

@TheLordSod You are commenting and what you think he's saying, but that isn't what he's actually saying.
