[Cricket] FAO man of West Stand Upper; re Racism.

[BadFish]

Have to say I'm getting increasingly pissed off that anyone nowadays who can see the difference between right and wrong, can spot overt or latent racism a mile off, who doesn't want to tolerate sexual abuse and who doesn't believe that free speech extends to obnoxious, bile spewed hatred is a "leftie" or a "snowflake". I think "decent human being" would perhaps be a better term.

Lets face it there is no logic that can be applied to these kind of situations, to try and deny racism in this example is patently not going to bring one any joy so what is left? Vague meaningless name calling is probably all that is left once the paper thin intellectual argument has been quickly exhausted.

People who continue with the crap you describe are floundering to say the least.

Good to see looney has moved this one on to - 'Is racism really THAT bad' and 'It's ok to be racist if you have been annoyed by a football match or are pissed'

Is it though? The way some carry on here is on a parallel with murder.

Yeah you're right I guess. It isn't as bad as murder.

Just for clarification - is it your opinion that it isn’t racist to imply someone has aids or ebola because of their African heritage?

Is it only Africans that can get Aids or Ebola then?......just for clarification?
Pretty sure anyone can get either disease so therefore cannot be racist!

This isn't racism (for me).

A Brighton fan shouts abuse at an opposition player.

If he was welsh & got bah or sheep shagger or French about garlic or onions or ginger etc etc. That isn't racist - but because zaha is black you feel it must be because he is black

Spot on mate!

But didn’t you know that if you say anything to anyone who’s a ‘minority’ you’re a racist or any other kind of ‘ist’!!!......
And then the legions of do gooders will believe it’s their moral duty to stomp their feet and make an issue out of it because they think it gives them some sort of moral high ground and anyone who dares have an opinion of their own and disagree are then labelled a what ever ‘ist’ as well!

You probably arent allowed to call kettles black anymore

Generally they don't go black anymore.

The drink or the troll? I don't care much for either.

By that definition the slave trade wasn't racist.

Wow.

Which slave trade are you narrowly focusing on? The new one in Libya? That last one in europe involving the Ottoman empire?

 

[mothy]

Wow.

Whats the wow for?

Is it because the OP got 11 thumbs up & mine 12?

Excuse me for interrupting this gross ignorance that is this thread, but I was curious and was just wondering if either of you two have ever lived on the African continent, let alone been there?

 

[sir albion]

Bringing this back to a more factual level. You implied that you heard this chant from a few rows away, in a packed, very loud stadium. Where do you sit, as it would follow that a good 50-100 people also have heard this. I do not want rasist chanting or abuse in my club, can anyone else verify this offensive chant and help identify the person. Or was this just internal voices, put out on the internet as fake news, helping to stir up trouble on a fans forum. I hope the MODs read this thread with this in mind.

You're the ultimate snowflake
It's not racist end of and you and your many followers who get offended are becoming an embarrassment to this country as all you want to do is get offended and to complain....Facking boring shite and cringeworthy.
I'm more concerned by how the many snowflakes turn out the way they do.

It's like people are going out of their way to prove my point...!!!!
Please enlighten us as to how my comment of asking if it's only Africans that can catch AIDS or Ebola, which clearly isn't the case and how you established some sort of connection to the slave trade to try and back up your arguement came about?

You said "Pretty sure anyone can get either disease so therefore cannot be racist."

By the same rationale, anyone could be a slave so it is perfectly fair game to use slavery to abuse black people.

What an utterly ridiculous thing to say?
And who the hell shouted abuse towards Zaha about being a slave? Nobody!!!
And who mentioned anything to do with black people being slaves other than you? Nobody!
