CAREER O.V.E.R! DJ Danny Baker made a disgusting racist remark about Megan Markel and Prince Harry’s royal baby looking like a chimpanzee on Twitter. He was FIRED on the spot.
Now, DJ Danny Baker learned quickly that racism doesn’t fly in 2019and that his lifetime career on the BBC radio is forever tarnished. He will be forever known as the “race-bait DJ…” #SMH Read on for the tea spill on DJ Danny Baker royal baby chimpanzee tweet…
CelebNMusic247.com reports that DJ Danny Baker tried to backtrack and claim he was aware of how black people could take his Tweet racist, but what makes no sense if that is the case then why say it?
The problem, DJ Danny Baker is racist!
His comment was NOT acceptable, because comparing the royal baby to a monkey is disgusting. It proves racism exists in the UK as well and apparently, some people are not happy with Megan Markle and Prince Harry having a baby.
Here is Danny Baker’s racist royal baby chimpanzee tweet:
Check out the pathetic apology he posted in a series of Tweet’s to his fans hoping for some type of forgiveness:
Blah, blah, blah…we ain’t buying any of this DJ Danny Baker.
Good morning, everyone.
Following one of the worst days of my life, I just want to formally apologize for the outrage I caused and explain how I got myself into this mess.
I chose the wrong photo to illustrate a joke. Disastrously so.In attempting to lampoon privilege & the news cycle I went to a file of goofy pictures & saw the chimp dressed as a Lord and thought, “That’s the one!” Had I kept searching I might have chosen General Tom Thumb or even a baby in a crown. But I didn’t. God knows I wish had.
Minutes later I was alerted by followers that this royal baby was, of course, mixed race and waves of panic and revulsion washed over me. Fuck, what had I done? I needed no lessons on the centuries slurs equating simians and people of color. Racism at its bases.
I am aware black people do not need a white man to tell them this. Deleting it immediately and apologizing for the awful gaffe I even foolishly tried to make light of it. (My situation that is, not the racism involved.) Too late and here I am.
I would like once and for all to apologize to every single person who, quite naturally, took the awful connection at face value. I understand that and all of the clamour and opprobrium I have faced since. I am not feeling sorry for myself. I fucked up. Badly.
But it was a genuine, naive and catastrophic mistake. There is, of course, little media/twitter traction in such a straight-forward explanation. The picture in context as presented was obviously shamefully racist. It was never intended so – seriously who on earth would ‘go there’?
Anyway, I am now paying the price for this crass & regrettable blunder and rightly so. Probably even this final word from me will extend the mania. (‘Dog whistle’ anyone?) I would like to thank friends on here for their kinder words and once again – I am so, so sorry.
You got FIRED and that’s it. DJ Danny Baker, it is sad you went out this way, but old dogs can’t learn a new trick and racism NEEDS to end. The tweet was foul and you knew it, no lampoon, not funny noway nohow!
Megan and Prince Harry celebrated the birth of their child, it is disgusting that Baker had the audacity to go there.
