Or not. Late last evening the revered by himself Gerry Adams tweeted some rubbish about a film he had just watched He said Django was a Ballymurphy nigger. Obviously the word nigger is in itself offensive and equally obviously no one in Ireland has been treated like a nigger since the days when slavery was legal all over the world. But also equally obviously Gerry Adams meant no offense to anyone all he or whoever sent the tweet...was doing was attempting to justify IRA crimes by aligning them with the downtrodden masses which to be fair is what the IRA and in particular Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness always do.
Gerry Adams, the IRA and its sympathisers have been saying the same thing for decades it was always wrong so its a bit late to start complaining now. I thought it was silly, a bit amusing and a long overdue comeuppance for some of the most arrogant pups on the planet.
True a couple of tweets did irritate me but that was because they attempted to justify when all they needed to do was apologise, then wait and deal with the matter at a later date, after all knowing them it wouldn't take them long to find fault and complain of being treated like second class citizens again.
Its almost reassuring to know Gerry and his supporters can make mistakes.
I've never seen Django nor will I be rushing to find a video of it now. I don't know if I've spelled it correctly and frankly its not important enough to find out.
From time to time all of us say and do silly things this one wasn't even criminal - get over it.
