There are black Continuity Announcers that do the job correctly, there's one on Radio 4 that is very good. The black newsreader on BBC News is very good too.
I'm talking about the CA that wouldn't sound out of place saying "This is BBC1 innit bro". It's absolutely vile to hear and has no place on national television.
There are occasionally disabled people on screen and this is good as it helps to normalise disability. However, I would be the first to complain if almost every programme was about disabled issues or if programmes were suddenly stuffed with disabled people to the point of misrepresentation.
This wouldn't do anything for disabled people, in fact it would damage the progress made thus far as the current BBC obsession with everything black is doing.
I have always been a general supporter of the BBC, but it's now getting to the stage where I can no longer listen to this propoganda being shoved down my throat. I actually enjoy the odd programme highlighting black issues as these are both informative & educational, but this is no longer tolerable and for the first time i'm considering cancelling my TV licence.
