Strong Racist language and attitude from defendents in Stephen Lawrence trial

Murder defendant Gary Dobson has told the Old Bailey he was "disgusted and embarrassed" by the strongly racist language he used as a teenager.

Mr Dobson denied any involvement in the murder of Stephen Lawrence and said he was at home at the time.

Mr Dobson, 36, and David Norris, 35, deny murdering Mr Lawrence, 18, in Eltham, south-east London, in 1993.

Earlier, a surveillance video showing racist rants by the two defendants was heard at their Old Bailey trial.

Asked how he would describe his use of the word "nigger" to describe a then workmate in the video, Mr Dobson said: "It's not something I'm proud of."

When asked by his barrister, Tim Roberts QC, why he had used the language, he said: "I don't know why I used [them]. Stereotyping I suppose."

The outburst was caught on a police surveillance video shot over several days, which shows the pair interact with various friends and acquaintances.

@Barabus69er no it is not. there are many black men who have no interest in white women, including myself. If all black men were like me, there would be no mixed race people on planet earth.

@rockingrocker347 you do realise that 26 different people made tip offs to the police within 2 days of the murder all naming that same people right? one guy openly walked into the police station and told the police that he knew for a fact that those guys killed him and was willing to make a statment. the police left him in the reception for an hour until he got bored and left. if those guys are innocent then elton john is striaght!
