Some people are really full of shit, aren't they?

Phillip Watt from the National Consultative Committee against Racism in Ireland (nice snappy name there, chaps), says of the number of black people working in nightclub toilets selling aftershave, is racist. He says, "To me, it's highly reminiscent of apartheid in South Africa and the USA before civil rights. I think nightclub owners might think of doing this in a more sensitive way and maybe redeploy the people in areas which are less demeaning."

For fuck's sake. You go to South Africa at the height of apartheid or talk to anyone involved in the civil rights movement in America and try and compare those situations with a bloke selling smellies in the toilet of a nightclub and see how much they laugh in your face, you fucking twat.

Let's face it, these guys have deodorant and cologne which they sell to people for a couple of quid (I don't know exactly. I'm always more fragrant without their help) at a time. Now, I'm sure the profit margin on a bottle of aftershave or a can of Lynx is pretty fucking high when you consider you're selling to drunk people who won't even notice if the Hugo Boss bottle has been refilled with Old Spice.

I can't see how it's racist or like a system which segregated people because of their colour.

Years ago I used to DJ around town and one of the clubs I worked in had an old man in the toilets doing exactly what these guys are doing now. He kept the bogs clean as the drunk fuckers pissed all over them and had a few bottles and cans of smelly stuff which he'd sell. He was a white man.

Where was Phillip Watt then? So it's ok for a white man to what he considers a 'demeaning' job but not a black guy. Should we be so PC that we can't allow black people or yellow people or medium brown people to do menial jobs because it's somehow racist? Of course not.

Maybe the guy selling the aftershave doesn't speak great English, maybe he's trying to support his family, maybe he'll use the money he makes to start his own business, maybe he doesn't think it's demeaning because at the end of the day he has to live and buy food. Maybe it's his second job considering the time it happens. Maybe he's using that extra money to pay for his children to go to extra-curricular classes to help them settle into Irish society. Who knows and frankly who fucking cares?

If they don't want to do the job then some other cunt will do it and whether he's black, white or purple with yellow spots makes no fucking difference at all.

Apartheid. Civil rights. Get to fuck.
