I remember Dot's eulogy at Jim's wake when she claimed that even though Jim may have been a racist once but when she knew him his best friend was Patrick Trueman which made him smile
Well, not completely. I remember an episode around 2006 when he was criticising Ruby Allen and Juley's interracial relationship and even Phil had to tell him to stop. 😆
@@j04370859 Okay, so he still had the occasional habit of racism. He was also initially opposed to Sonia's lesbian relationship with Naomi Julien (who was also black), but later gave his blessing.
@AndrewChapman I don't remember his disappointment with Sonia and Naomi all that much and if it had to do with race. If it was because she had a lesbian relationship and that also being with a black woman, or because Sonia ruined her marriage with Martin.
That's why I'm glad I weren't watching EastEnders at that time to see what Jim was like then. Much preferred when he later became a more softer humorous character when he got together with Dot and became friends with Patrick.
Yeah he was so racist him and Patrick truman were inseparable like brothers, the only point here is you couldn't see the point go cry racists elsewhere the lefties will listen
As much as this is her grief, Jim is no position to really stand up for himself here. Dot did just that, she told her why there isn't a picture and Carol was being too selfish to listen to her
Poor Jim he didn't do anything wrong but i don't blame Carol for kicking off like she did they could have had a picture of Billy in their house if they asked Carol for one.
One thing I don't understand about this is that Jim couldn't even stand up. He wouldn't have been able to put the picture back there. She should've blamed Dot.
I agree jim was a racist. But ppl forget jim comes from another time. It was a "norm" for him. im not saying jim was right or siding with him just that we are products of our environments. Jim was probably raised with prejudice parents. I hope some of you keep that same energy when talking about Sean slater. He too was a racist. Look at the way he treated Patrick and Gus. Also look at Dirty Den, he didnt want Sharon with the young black boy back when she was a teen. Look into it.
Sean wasn't a racist. He did bully Gus but not because he was black. He didn't pick on Patrick because he was black either. He bullied Mickey who was white. He picked on Jack, Phil, Max, and Jase who were all also white.
@@Kyleeeeeeeee agree!. He just picked on soft targets it was ridiculous. I always remember him trying to pick a fight with "johnny allen" back in 2006 just because johnny was in prison, he wouldn't of dared to that if johnny was on the square. Sean would of been dead
You're not wrong, but Jim was worse than average. Not every white grandparent in the 90's would refuse to speak to their black son in law or see their mixed race grandson. The 90's weren't the 1950's. Jim changed, but that doesn't excuse his behaviour in the 90's. He owes Carol and Alan a massive apology, I wonder if he ever did?
I'm also not sure we can call Sean racist, as he had no trouble beating up white people or being horrible to white women alongside his black girlfriend whom he also mistreated. There's no indication Sean's behaviour was racially motivated. Sean beat a white sex worker in 2008. He was not adverse to hurting anyone.
I couldn't stand Jim because he was horrible and nasty throughout this programme. He used to be abusive when towards son Max when he was growing up and Carol had a point about Jim being racist. I can understand why Carol is upset and angry with Jim. 😢
People change. But was was racist previously, he didnt accept Alan, Carols previous partner and Billys father. This was around the time Billy die and a Mourning Carol's emotions were getting the better of her.
Bit harsh. Yes, I know Jim was a racist when he first appeared and didn't exactly give Carol and Alan his blessing when they got married. And didn't give Billie much attention when he was a kid either. Which quite honestly, makes me glad I wasn't watching EastEnders at that time as I would've hated that side of Jim. But after getting together with Dot, he did become a more lovable character and became friends with Patrick. Then Billie returned in 2004 as a teenager (played by Bluey Robinson instead of Devon Anderson), where he and Jim socialised a bit more. Surely these must've been enough indications Jim had turned a corner and became less of the racist he was.
Quite unfair when Carol slagging Bradley off because he hasn't done nothing wrong to upset Carol. Carol had a point about Jim though being racist and I always hated Jim in Eastenders.
@@akarex2k9 Okey dokey. human beings are not set in stone, they aren't even set by their experiences up to a particular age. It can be harder to change their ways as they grow older, but not impossible. We had over 10 years worth of episodes depicting Jim's character and in that time he transitions from someone apalled that his daughter(s) would marry anyone too 'foreign' for his liking into someone who didn't hold those prejudices anymore. Not only was his best friend a black man, not only did he regularly socialize with Patrick's also back girlfriend/wife/family, but he accepted and cried over the loss of his black grandson too. Carol was wrong in this clip, lashing out due to grief. He didn't have any pictures of Billy because he and Dot were never given any. Carol was judging Jim for who he used to be not who he is. And in case you think this is JUST fiction, look up Daryl Davis, an African American who convinced over 200 KKK members to change and turn away from the organization, accepting that they'd been racist, that it was wrong and that they were going to endeavour to NOT be like that again.
