Everyone points out how hot we are on racism compared to the rest of the (racist) world (apart from America) but isn't that in itself racist? Or is it just xenophobic of us?
Do they? Are you sure you aren't making the mistake of confusing reality with something off RAWK there?
It's interesting how few black players Liverpool have - just Johnson isn't it? And Suarez himself of course.
Yeah I was wondering what you were doing on the pitch at Anfield that day.
I'll take your word for it then.
I'm not claiming I heard what was said. Just that no-one's accusing Suarez of being racist (apart from deareg).Nah, I'm just glad maggot plus several thousand Liverpool fans were there on the pitch and we know the full story now.
And the FA.I'm not claiming I heard what was said. Just that no-one's accusing Suarez of being racist (apart from deareg).
Nothing about him being a racist in their report.And the FA.
have you read the report? and if not racist abuse, then what was he banned for?Nothing about him being a racist in their report.
I would love to be there to see the result if you walked up to a black man in Brixton and said hey "little black boy"I'm not claiming I heard what was said. Just that no-one's accusing Suarez of being racist (apart from deareg).
Yeah, racial abuse - not being a racist. They are different things.have you read the report? and if not racist abuse, then what was he banned for?
So it's allright to use racist abuse as long as you are not a racist?Yeah, racial abuse - not being a racist. They are different things.

That is your prerogative, but it is racist.It's not racist to say that. People have said "hey Chinaman" to me when I was a lot younger (and less mean looking) I don't take that as racist. It's disrespectful but certainly not racist.

Where have I said it's alright to use racist abuse?So it's allright to use racist abuse as long as you are not a racist?
Are you really this fucking thick?
I have a black mate who we all referred to as chink when we were kids, I would not dream of calling him that now even though some people still do and he does not mind, It isn't my place to tell him or you whether to take offence but I think to even use the word chink is racist.Well I didn't get racial abuse, just an ignorant persons way of attracting my attention.
I am not surprised that I am confused when you are even confusing yourself.Where have I said it's alright to use racist abuse?
Yeah, racial abuse - not being a racist. They are different things.
yeah let's not essentialise it too much, saying something racist doesn't make you a racist in the same way saying something stupid doesn't make you automatically stupid.
infact I think Suarez is the kind of cunt who would use racist remarks simply to wind up another player, to try and gain an advantage.
I think the tendency not to make a distinction between racist, homophobic or sexist behaviours and someone being a sexist, racist or homophobes is problematic in that it makes people overly defensive and reduces the issue to a matter of policing language rather than examining underlying discourses that run through out society and aren't just in the heads of individual sinners.
my shits always bang on, you just don't recognise it as sensible when it extends beyond the parameters of your liberal sensibilities.
You say that shit in Moss side, Brixton, Toxteth or many other places to a black man and do you think he is going to give a shit whether or not you consider yourself to be a racist?
I was asking a throwaway question, but I have made my point numerous times all ready, it being, if you use racist language you are a racist.your point being?
