Thread: More people being offended.

    Re: More people being offended.

    Are we not allowed to sing about Nathan Blake anymore? Not because he's black but because we might offend any non-black robbers of fruit machines?

These are nice people, who just happen to have lived their entire lives within a culture where it is the norm to portray black people as animalistic powerful and Brutish and white people as intelligent and civilized.
    It is tings like this that probably contribute to the ridiculously small numbers of black managers in the game.
    That rapidly has changed/is changing.

    Look at the music scene kids grow up listening to now

    "British and white people as intelligent and civilized"

    I would ask how white British people have been portrayed in the media over the past year.

    Working class people being abused continously over the brexit vote.

    The ST Georges flag abused so much it can't even be flown without cries of nationalism

    It is a fact abuse of any kind aimed at black or non whites has a separate set of rules to the rest. It is taken far more seriously

    If this is deliberate, I'm tipping my hat to you.

    How so?

    If I was a black man and it was assumed that I had a massive nob then I'd say that's pretty good.
    If you're a black guy with an average size but shag a girl who's expecting a whopper and goes round telling everyone "oh my god he's tiny" then you might not like the stereotype so much.

    A guy is walking past a driveway and sees a Jamaican putting up a sign that reads "Boat for sale." The man looks but all he can see is a car and a caravan so he says to the Jamaican, 'On that sign it says Boat for Sale' but all I can see is a car and a caravan?'
    The Jamaican replies, 'Yes, and dey boat for sale!'

    On the other hand, the Stick it out campaign will be happy with this

    Are all still sung today, I can't say I know the exhaustive list like. Football fans are generally good these terms in terms of racism and homophobia but it doesn't mean it's ok though.
    I thought the sol Campbell and Ian wright chants were related to homosexuality, rather than the colour of their skin?

    The Lukaku one isn't racist (in my opinion)

    The evra one was only sung by scousers who accused him of lying re: the Suarez incident.

    So that just leaves Adebayor?

    Hardly an epidemic is it?

    The 21-year-old has not made a tackle in his two games, according to the Opta stats at least, but as Sir Alex Ferguson found out with Jaap Stam, it is dangerous to read too much into a defender’s tackling numbers.


    This is clearly a crap writer clutching at straws for an article but racist? Not for me.

    Look for the definitions of stereotyping and racism.

    This is stereotyping, not:

    prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

    Because people have thrown around the term so much you've forgotten the actual meaning.

    common sense at last

    But if I'm black then I'll have a whopper anyway.

    And even if I've only got a tiny white man willy then my reputation will have got me my fair share of fanny.

    It's a win win.

    Very True.
    Not a touch of Irony in sight.
    Well Done.

    There were (probably entirely unintentional) undertones of this in the summer with the Lukaku Vs Morata debate, with Lukaku being described as powerful and Morata as intelligent.

    In a lot of cases black men probably don't mind this particular stereotype, but it originated from justification to treat black people as second class citizens.
    Morata has better movement in between the lines to find space whereas lukaku's game is more about a physical presence. It doesn't have to have racist undertones and using one characteristic to say this is what a player is is lazy football analysis rather than discriminatory.
