06/17/2008: "Union official is branded a racist in row over 'wise monkeys' leaflet"

It is an ancient proverb that seemed to sum up Onay Kasab's modern grievance perfectly.

So he used 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' in the leaflet he circulated about union bosses ignoring members' concerns.

He even included a sketch of the three wise monkeys which commonly illustrate the phrase.

Unfortunately, those he targeted read the message a little differently - and accused him of a racist slur against a black member of their standing orders committee. Mr Kasab, secretary of Greenwich Unison, in Greater London, is now under investigation and facing expulsion from the public sector union Unison, along with three other members of local branches.

[ How ridiculous. Reminds me of this: http://www.newsnet14.com/2008/02/25/new-university-study-claims-americans-subconsciously-associate-black-people-with-apes/ ]

Yet more proof that "diversity" is composed of immaturity and held together by paranoia. As for the monkey stereotype, I'd say that the ooga-booga jungle thump music, general rowdiness and proclivity towards lawlessenss and vice are doing more damage to the Black Image than any amount of Blightwing propaganda could hope hope to achieve.
