UnfairRepresent 12/24/20 7:38:24 PM #1:	The broadcaster has received 266 complaints over a recent scene in the comedy which saw Dawn Frenchs character Reverend Geraldine Granger take the knee and deliver a sermon about racism. The scene shows Geraldine tell the audience that she has been preoccupied with the horror show of George Floyds death in 2020. Mr Floyd, an unarmed black man, was killed in May while being arrested by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, sparking anti-racism protests around the world. The scene from the BBC sitcom saw Geraldine go on to say in a sermon that the fictional Oxfordshire village in which the show is set, is not the most diverse community. She added: But I dont think it matters where you are from. I think it matters that you do something about it, because Jesus would, wouldnt he? Dawn French returned in the sitcom this year And, listen, I am aware all lives matter, obviously, but until all lives matter the same we are doing something very wrong. So I think we need to focus on justice for a huge chunk of our countrymen and women who seem to have a very bad, weird deal from the day they are born. Earlier this month, French also appeared to dismiss complaints about the BLM reference. Amid criticism on social media from some who claimed the scene showed a lack of impartiality from the BBC, she tweeted: A lovely calm day, full of humanity, compassion and support all round The 63-year-old later clarified in the comments that she was being a tad ironic. Who seriously is offended by this? --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:948724955] in Many UKers...
