Could you link me to an article about the footage? I did a Google News search and all I saw was articles about Griffin's appearance on Question Time. I clicked on one of them read to the bottom, and then noted that in the many comments, the ones supporting the BNP, even to the point of being explicitly racist, had been recommended by as many as a hundred votes, while the anti-BNP comments have less than ten.
Racists need to STFU with their common bleat that they can't be racist because they think that Asians/Jews/Indians are more intelligent than whites. For one thing, because what they DON'T say is what they believe these "others" use the intelligence FOR (crafty sneakiness and inscrutable greed); for another, I've heard one particularly loathsome individual say that blacks have the biggest genitalia and the smallest brainpower, and Asians were the opposite, while whites were balanced. He also stated that any man would naturally feel attracted to an Asian female and any female would naturally feel attracted to a Black man. Imagine what I have just said in coarser language times 100 and you'll get the idea.
In a way it all goes back to what you said before, about how when you said that Griffin was intelligent, people attacked you for praising him. It honestly seems like many people cannot recognize that saying someone is smart could be anything other than approval.
