Buck-toothed Negro Liberal Democrat Shirley Brown Councillor loses “coconut” racism appeal

A black councillor convicted of racial harassment after branding an Asian
colleague a ”coconut” lost her appeal today.
Liberal Democrat Shirley Brown, 49, used the derogatory remark against
Conservative Jay Jethwa at a Bristol City Council debate in February 2009.
The term is used to describe someone who is betraying their roots because
they are black on the outside but white on the inside.
Conservatives lodged a formal complaint and Cllr Brown was found guilty of
racial harassment at Bristol Magistrates’ Court in June last year.
She was given a conditional discharge but launched an appealed against her
conviction at Bristol Crown Court earlier this week.
She argued that the term was not racist and that she was referring to what
Mrs Jethwa was proposing in the debate, rather than her race.
But Judge Mark Horton dismissed the appeal, endorsed the sentence and
ordered Brown to pay £300 costs on top of the £620 costs ordered by
magistrates last year.
He said: ”The words and actions reflected not only a lack of self control
but a lack of responsibility for her public duty as a councillor which
carried with it both public duties and responsibilities in this open and
multi-cultural society.
”Her strong feeling for her cause, which we accept may be wholly laudable,
clouded and destroyed her proper judgement in a way in which caused her
deliberately to use offensive words which would have done enormous damage
to the very causes and ethnic minorities which she claims to support.”
Cllr Brown, who is Bristol City Council’s first black Lib Dem councillor,
still serves the ward of Ashley but intends to stand down at the end of
her current term.
After the case she said: ”I am saddened by the result. I maintain the word
was not used racially, I would never describe myself as racist.”
