Another stupid 'first black...' story. Wasn't it enough with Obama and Lewis!! Isn't there more to this person than just him being black??

If a white person takes over the above role when old matey has served his term, do you think the headline will be something like 'first white person to succeed the first black person to...'.

If it's not important for the BBC to report this then why make a thread about it? Are you envious of the man "funkyrobot"?

Maybe you should take the time to read my original post properly. Where have I stated that I don't think this is important, and where is the hint of my apparent envy?

When you have read the post properly please feel free to post your own relevant and meaningful comments. Oh sorry, it's gone 7.30. Shouldn't you hand your dad's computer and PH account back to him now? Surely it's bed time for you soon?
