So calling someone a black c--- is not being racist.

Fair enough, as long as that stands for evebody.

'The defendant does not deny that he used the words, “f*ck off, f*ck off”,
“f*cking black c*nt” or “f*cking kn*bhead”. His case is that his words were
not uttered by way of abuse or insult nor were they intended to be abusive or
insulting.'

Admittedly, that's taken slightly out of context of the judgement as a whole, but to pretend that this is "friendly banter" is really beyond the pale...

[Duncer]

Any truth that he said "I'm delighted to be exonertated; I told you that black c*nt was lying?

As Mark says, how this can be passed off as"friendly" banter is utterly beyond belief.
