No it isn't. I can genuinely say that I watched that 30 second clip and it didn't register who had what skin colour. The only reason I know the guy was white is because people have mentioned it a few times since. If you'd have asked me afterwards who was black and who was white I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have known for sure. Maybe I'm just unobservant? Or maybe I'm just not racist. Not everybody is desperately looking to find offence in everything!

OK, if you say you thought 'Dianne Abbott' when a white guy and a black woman failed to see that two numbers with the same number of significant figures can't be a million fold different, because it reminded you of Abbott's inability to remember numbers, rather than because the woman is black and a woman, who am I to argue.

Perhaps among Abbott's less likable characterists (and I think there are many) her inability to remember her brief when (allegedly) she was ill is not the most memorable for me. Maybe for me, if I give it a bit of thought, I might have said 'Boris' for his £350 million a week we'd be better off after leaving the EC. But maybe I'm more worried about Boris the PM lying about numbers than I am about a no-mark soon to be has-been labour MP stumbling over an interview. :shrug:

If the answer is as absurd as $1m per American then you really should check the numbers!

On second thoughts....you're right.

BURN them!!! :lolol:

As Bloomberg spent $500,000,000, on his Presidential campaign.
While the American population is approximately 347,000,000.

How much money could MB have given to each American?:-

I bet you don't have the same answer as these two

His conclusion was wrong and just his opinion. Hebrew and Greek are still in use today, and are very much written languages. Being a Scribe in bibiblical times was a valuable career. The Dead Sea scrolls found in 1948 contained copies of parchment which said exactly the same thing as Isaiah in the bible therefore confirming it.

Even oral traditions like African languages are fairly accurate. Have you read Roots, where Alex Haley traced his ancestor back to the town where ****e Kinte came from? The renowned Gnot in the Gambian village related exactly the same thing Alex had heard from his older family.

you've ruined my childhood and possibly my entire life and belief system.

you are probably right and he also probably did touch that kid :down:
