Elliott Bennett, Banana's & Monkey Shouts

[Rookie]

Isn't Dickinson coloured or is it my eyes?

that is what I thought. Its just banter, move on

 

[KneeOn]

To be fair, in some close knit friendships, casual racism is accepted. A few of my mates have said racist remarks, that involved a fair bit of wit, not just calling me every name under the sun. Plus i have immence pride for my heratige. If Benno hasn't got objections, and its kept fairly low key, shouldn't be a problem, in my opinion!

I don't care about his banana habit as long as he skins a few defenders tomorrow.

 

[Mendoza]

Mendoza is WELL racist.

CONVICTED racist, thank you please

Oh, I say! That's rather good.

"Coloured" people? I didn't think that term was very acceptable these days. Apart from anything else black people are no more "coloured" than white people. Neither black nor white are colours of the rainbow.

What's wrong with calling a black guy a black guy?

Liam 'David Brent' Dickinson

The opposing player was Darren Moore, who went on to play in the Premier League with Pompey amongst others, if I remember correctly.

I take it he used to eat a lot of bananas, no?

Blimey, you're a bit progressive, round my way we still call them Negro's. Mind you, it is 1933 here. How is 1975 anyway?

This.

All about context an' that.

Racism is all about intent, (and the fact Dickinson looks more like a monkey imo) and both parties see it that way then it isn't racist. Quite funny as well

now thats what i call racist ..... saying a person looks like a monkey.... and why does it not surprise me that it is you that is saying it when most of your dickinson comments are negative.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Black is the absence of colour, isn't it?

 

[onthebeach]

absolutely nothing wrong with that mate in fact most black guys prefer that term than coloured mixed race or anything else that is supposedly acceptable these days.

He just wants to seem more flair, hence "blacking up" when going out in public. He's a pasty bastard, in reality.

Wow calm down, I'm simply pointing out that Dickinson is a) Black and his sticky out ears do make him vaguely resemble a monkey, so it would be very hypocritical of him to call Bennett that in a provocative manner, he may have the first touch of a rapist, none existent aerial ability and an inability to score goals but I wouldn't resort to racism.

Why arn't you having a go at the guy who used the word coloured?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

I'm rather impressed by the fact that a racist stereotype that was very widespread in my youth - the association of black people with monkeys, trees and bananas - is now so rarely heard that this thread is possible.

Things have genuinely moved on. I think.

Stop. seriously. Liam Dickinsons mum reads this site from time to time ive heard. i doubt she would apreciate you saying these things.

IMO your making racist comments,

 

[Danny-Boy]

Difficult one. Surely the whole basis of racism is designed to offend.

The word '******' is both acceptable and unacceptable in a variety of terms and situations.

Acceptable when that black comedian Reginald Hunter on Mock The Week or HIGNFY uses it, otherwise....
