    I referred to black people. Barkley is a white footballer, bringing Regis into seems a desperate attempt at establishing something that wasn't written.

    I pointed out why it might be racist. I also pointed out whether it is racist depends on what MacKenzie intended when he wrote it.

    If you ignore the treatment of Cyrille Regis and others some people may find it easy not to make a mental link between apes and black people.

    Why are people defending his honour and going to extreme lengths to say he's not racist? He's an editor for the Sun. He's a racist piece of ****e for that reason alone.

    Why did you need to do that?

    I'm not ignoring the treatment of Cyrille Regis; what has it to do with this article. I understand what it has to do with the imagined links made to the article.

    Does this make you think of black people or Phil Collins?

    Because if you need to make something up to make your point then your point must be a weak one.

    Is it racist to say eto'o reminds me of a monkey named gunter from futurama?

    Simply because he has such a round head, sticky out ears and a cheesy grin nothing to with colour

    MacKenzie knows he cannot write an overtly racist article as its against the law and he could end up in prison. If he intended to write a racist article he'd edge his bets and imply racism knowing full well the link between black footballer players and apes. He'd then deny knowing the race of his father and grandfather.

    As to the picture it would depend on how good a drummer the gorilla is not what he looks like. If he's **** I'd think of Phil Collins. If he's good I'd think of Gene Krupa.

    I used to be obsessed with Collins and his music, and it was a real struggle to get over it - all those lyrics and tunes going round in my head, but I managed it. I was in a bad way for a while but take a look a me now....

    He has a history of racism and xenophobia and he writes for the Sun. Normally I'd give someone the benefit of the doubt regarding the gorilla comment cause it seems to be a bit of a stretch but I'm just gonna believe he knew it would be controversial and did it for shock value. Doesn't seem out of character tbh so meh, **** him.

    Well done on your recovery. It was against all odds. Do you feel like it is another day in paradise now?

    Stop assuming things about people. Incidentally how did you know he is the editor if you don't read it, I said no googling?

    Anyway he is the editor of the Sun, not MacKenzie who is just a writer. According to your extremely childish post Gallagher must be a racist.

    What do you read, Anarchist Weekly?
