Liverpool fans Origi banner tonight

[delmbox]

How stupid do you have to be to think there's not going to be consequences for this? Idiots.

Pics galore of them posing with it and putting it up as well, they won't be going to anymore Liverpool matches for the foreseeable future. Club are furious apparently.

Remember the song our fans sung about Manga?

It’s racist!

The myth that black men have bigger penises originally grew from the racist reasoning that propped up white supremacy and justified slavery in the 19th century. Black men’s oversized genitals were cited as evidence that they were “savage” and “animalistic;” outside the bounds of “normal” (read: white) sexuality and civilization. That same savage archetype — also called the “mandingo” — was summoned into the 20th century whenever white mobs wanted an excuse to lynch black men. Just claim they’re raping “our” women with their massive penises. Problem solved.

Thank you for explaining it in more detail.

I remember seeing a documentary on, I believe, Channel 4 about Human Zoos where "exotic" humans were shown off from cages with part of the commentary being made that this is something that Hitler cottoned onto and potentially built into his dehumanisation of certain groups of people. While it's simple to say that every man would like to be thought of as having a large penis, if a group of people become dehumanised then it, both historically and currently, leads to really destructive thought processes/actions becoming normalised.

Careful with that, you'll be accused of being soft, offended on behalf of somebody else by all of the free thinkers on here.

Stereotypical - Yes
Offensive - Yes (To some, hilarious to others)
Racist - No

But on your basis that stereotypes is racism, you would agree that the film White Chicks is both racist and sexist, no?

It’s racist.

White Chicks racist? Don’t be silly.

Sexist? Maybe.

[Auntie Andy]

The question you have to ask is, would they do a picture with a giant penis if he wasn't black?

Black men have big ones, fact.
Get back to your knitting circle ffs.

We won't ask...

[Armitage Shanks]

Back in the day Brian Moore would have a chat with him about the banner at the end of the game, have a laugh about it, and it will appear on the end credits of The Big Match

[J R Hartley]

Whats it supposed to represent? "The Big One"?

[Heisenberg]

He's called 'Big Cock Divock' by a lot of their fans on social media.

Bit of a weird banner but racist? Nah.

[WJ99mobile]

Can something be racist without being offensive?

[Auntie Andy]

Grow up you sexist racist.

[Trigger]

All humour will soon be banned.

Who is offended? Origi was probably pissing himself.

It's amazing how what is being clamped down on has changed over even the last 10 years.

I remember going to the Emirates when we played arsenal in the cup and some of our fans were chanting about adebayor, that was offensive looking back and I can't imagine hearing it again. That's good. But this is just a bit of fun isn't it? Or will in 10 years it be seen as just as bad.

[Bluebirdman Of Alcathays]

All humour will soon be banned.

Nice to see some rational, level-headed replies to counterbalance the "overreaction". (Oops, sorry I meant )

[delmbox]

All humour will soon be banned.

Will it though? Does the taking down of this flag from a football stadium indicate the imminent banning of all humour? No it doesn't, you're just upset because the world is realising that some of what you and your mates think is cool, actually isn't. Deal with it and don't be such a drama queen.

Who is offended?

The football club that he plays for and knows him, who called it "racist" and "completely unacceptable" for a start

Why so serious? Sometimes a flag is just a flag.

[delmbox]

Sometimes a flag is just a flag.

Unless it's you on the flag, you don't get to decide that. The team who look after him do though and they called it racist and completely unacceptable, insisted it be pulled down and will ban the fans responsible. But they're probably also wrong because they don't agree with you and your mates.

[Auntie Andy]

All you white privileged men need to educate yourselves.
