Why Do Racists Think That They Can Get Away With It?

[sp1814]

It’s it a bit arrogant to think that people around you wouldn’t be offended?

It’s like this man fell out of a space ship that came from 1972.

But seriously - why would someone shout this out, unless they were really drunk or high?

[New Judge]

I've tried, but I think the time has come:

"Because people don’t like people shouting offensive things at them."

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

[vetuste_ennemi]

I don't think going around calling people F*Cs is necessarily racist, or, even in many cases especially hateful.

If you want to see unpleasant abuse prompted by real[i hatred you should look at the Unite against Fascism and the Antifa brigade spitting bile at people whose views they disagree with. And if you want to chuck in some [i]real]racism have a look at and listen to the rhetoric of Black Lives Matter; that's the icing on the cake of hate.

But I dare say SP would break bread with any of these groups without the least embarrassment. Maybe not.

I’m surprised and disappointed that people actually think that when abuse is being shouted, the shouted stops to break down the phrase.

And why do you think Sterling is bothered?

And why are you trying to deflect away from the question?

[vetuste_ennemi]

The difference between the FBC bloke and BLM etc is that the FBC bloke probably knows he's being a nasty bit of work, while the other lot think they're doing God's work, like many pious bigots before them.

Calling almeon a *** black *** is racist.

If you don’t think so, tomorrow, go into work and use that phrase.

Use it amongst white people initially and see their response.

By the way - Antifa?

Deflection of the highest order.

Illuminating how some can’t even manage to criticise this chap.

I think I can see who you stand shoulder to shoulder with.

AB has become an offshoot Of Infowars.

[sp1814]

Anyway - I think I’ve got my answer now.

[Theland]

I think the average Brit never even thinks in terms of black and white, unless, inevitably, blacks come on the TVs complaining about the likes of, "White privileges, and endemic racism."

Then it all becomes an an issue and never was before.
Then we all become racists?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Can't recall defending the FBC comment, only pointing out that is's not in the same league as "pigs in blankets - fry 'em like bacon"which I suggest doesn't bother you nearly as much, if at all.

[Togo]

I get the feeling that sp is of the mind that you are only allowed to call someone who is, black, when you are lauding or applauding their all round attributes and loveliness. But when you are less enamoured with their qualities to do so is obviously waycism. Dangerous ground we are treading. Can we all choose to identify as who or whatever we like when the circumstances suit our purpose?

[THECORBYLOON]

Would the white man in the crowd have called a white player a "f****** white c***"? I doubt it.

[Mamyalynne]

I think we can answer that with a certain amount of certainty Corby - No.

Sp, I'm surprised that you did not anticipate some of the replies on this today.

As I said earlier, there's a slip back where some progress had started to be made and that's never a good thing.

[-Talbot-]

Hands up who has watched the video

Hands up who hears him say black C

Hands up who has declared the man guilty without a hearing.


Strange how sometimes it is ok to not bother waiting for the facts.

[Mamyalynne]

I haven't watched, and obviously haven't heard and certainly not proclaimed anyone guilty.

My reply above was a reply to Corby and a comment on the tone of the thread.

I am happy to let the club deal with this, they have access to the evidence if there is any.

Sp, // Do YOU think that black people should be criticised if they take offence at called a *** black c***.//

I wouldn’t say ‘should’ but if they are it’s understandable. You will notice that of the three objectionable words used, the only one that isn’t starred out is ‘black’ and I guess that’s because ‘black’ isn’t an abusive word – and yet that’s the one black people find the most offensive. Black people who find the word ‘black’ offensive are feeding the abusers what they want and in the process they are undermining themselves. That’s crazy.

I worked for 3 years in Zambia , 1969 - 1972. Training Zambian (Black) laboratory technicians , they called me "Whitey" . I said ''then is it OK if I call you lot ''Blackie". They said it was "No problem" and we had a laugh about it.

I can give an opinion on what was said but that isn't what I asked.
I'll put you down for guilty without a trial then.

Well it wasn't thrown at Deli Ali but comparing now to the real bad old days is ridiculous...there's no comparison.
