So, this continues to rumble despite what Arteta said.
The rumours are he called Gabriel a 'Performing Monkey'. only allegations it must be added.
If that is what he said, Gabriel has taken it out of context.
Regardless of context, that would be a really stupid and thoughtless thing to say to a black person.So, this continues to rumble despite what Arteta said.

Oh do jog on.. Next you'll be banning the word Monkey altogether. Its the same as cheeky monkey. Do you want that banned as well?Regardless of context, that would be a really stupid and thoughtless thing to say to a black person.
I'm not saying it should be banned. I'm saying any pejorative ending in 'monkey' should be avoided when speaking to black people. I would've thought that was obvious. Do you disagree?Oh do jog on..

On the basis of what we heard during those crowdless games during lockdown, there's no way Henderson said anything without loads of expletives in it.
I reckon Gabriel's version will be "performing monkey" and Hendo's will be "fucking wanker".
I know which one I'm more inclined to believe.
I really hope he hasn't said anything racist, because if he has, then he's done in my eyes, which would be a massive shame as he always struck me as being one of the good guys.
Clearly, I've triggered you. So come on - I'd like to hear your views on why you think calling a black man a monkey (in any context) is OK. I'm not trying to trip you up - I'm genuinely interested.Oh ffs.
I've been concerned by this, TBH. The reactions by Alisson, Firmino and Xhaka made it pretty clear something highly inappropriate has been said. It would be a huge fall from grace if it was anything racial.

No, I'm not triggered. I'm happy to have a discussion, which is why I made my position clear. You appeared to take issue with what I said, although apparently don't feel comfortable explaining why. Which begs the question: why bother commenting in the first place?I'm triggered ?
Are you sure you're not triggered yourself ? lol
Btw, I've learned a long time ago that football forums are never the best place to talk about racial or religious matters. Especially not in today's crazy woke/cancel culture.
You can have a million pages of debates/discussions/arguments/etc. for decades (remember KT?), and still not add any value to this world. Its not as if all these years of 6CM therapy will suddenly make dantes for instance, wake up one day and decide he's gonna start a global world peace movement.
What are you talking about? I don't feel threatened by you and I fully appreciate we're on level ground. You replied to my post with a provocative, passive aggressive remark, which you still haven't elaborated on, and are now trying to paint me as the aggressor? If you don't want to get involved in the discussion then don't involve yourself in the discussion. It's not like you've added anything to it.It’s called free speech and everyone’s entitled to it.
And when you do come off down your high horse, you’ll see I’m actually a non-threatening person when we’re on the same level ground.

I never really understood what "Passive aggressive" means ... can someone explain it to me?

Haha. You mean, like how you've insulted me with profanities, numerous times in the past ? Or that time when you called me out for being racist towards asians, when i'm actually asian myself ? That honestly cracked me up. Compared to that, i think 'ffs' isn't that bad. Come on. Like i said, come off down your high horse.
Didn't think you would be so easily offended. 'Oh ffs' - is provocative now ? My gawd. Go on, write a long essay explaining to me why and how it has upset your emotional space and intellectual boundary. How it has chipped away at your dignity and identity as a person and caused you to suffer from PTSD and have sleepless nights.
All these wokeness culture is killing me seriously. Everyone's getting so easily wound up these days.
The only one wound up here is you. If you don't want to engage with me then don't reply to my posts. It's not complicated. I can't remember 'insulting you with profanities', but I can certainly remember pulling you up for shit you've said in the past. It's funny, all this talk of people being easily offended and sensitive men being cissies, and yet you are as easily offended as anyone who posts on here. Not that that makes you a cissy, of course, but it does mean you lack any kind of self-awareness.Haha. You mean, like how you've insulted me with profanities, numerous times in the past ?

I can, but you wouldn't understand it.
That's the problem, it almost is when you use it to describe anything a coloured is doing. So if he said it, it was stupid, but I am pretty sure he did not mean it in that context.Oh do jog on.. Next you'll be banning the word Monkey altogether. Its the same as cheeky monkey. Do you want that banned as well?
