This sort of thing makes my blood boil.

Why is it classed as racist? She was just stating a fact.

It is not the first time Kennedy's broadcasting has come under scrutiny.

In August she blamed a sore throat for slurring her speech, while in 1999 she called a clergyman an "old prune", described fellow DJ Ken Bruce as an "old fool" and accused a newsreader of soiling her underwear.
oooh, what a rogue!

I like this comment.

"Another said skin tone was relevant in the issue of seeing pedestrians in the dark, stating: "This is nothing to do with prejudice - it is a fact based on the science of light reflecting off objects."

I can see how this is seen as racist. If she had left it at the couldnt see him as he was in all black then fair enough but the yawn bit does sound like some joke at a black persons expence. She must have known how people would take it.

Although yeah there is way too much fuss over everything being classed as racist when it involves a white on non white.
