The Suarez/Evra Racism Row

[quote author=Rosco link=topic=47188.msg1423452#msg1423452 date=1320757361]
Indifferent to Suarez ?

wow
[/quote]

not to his ability, his character.
 
I think character wise he's a little cunt TBH.

Most top players are though, so it comes with the territory.

He's fucking sex with a football, but that doesn't excuse some of his actions.

I called him something his team-mates at Manchester call him

Yes, I can just see Darren Fletcher and Ryan Giggs calling Suarez a n****

What ? Calling Ferdinand a "negro cunt" ?

Methinks that is grounds for a beat-down.

Maybe y'all should stop being so selfish and share so everyone else can play too.

Indeed. If the point of anti-racism is to bring about a world in which everyone is treated equally, how can that square with one group of people using a particular word to refer to one another but saying it's not OK for others to do so, *whatever* the background may be?

no one should say it but there is a big difference between a black rapper saying it in a lyric and white footballer saying it to a peer.

What's different is the context in which it's said - but yes it's a disgusting word.

Of course there is. What I'm saying - and what you seem to be agreeing with - is that there shouldn't be.

I definately agree the word should be outlawed by EVERYONE.

I think that's a bollocks excuse to be honest. I just don't buy this "we reclaim the word from the racists" excuse either.

People can't have it both ways, its either a racist term or its not imho.

I dunno. I can call my mum a daft bint having a laugh with my bros and sis, but someone who's not in my family does this, I'm going to have a problem with them. We can say it affectionately in my family, but if someone we don't really know was to come in and try saying it, even getting in the spirit of that playful way we say it, that's still not funny. The hackles would go up, and it is "leave it off, *right mate*"

The fact is that this word has *always* had truly negative associations coming from the mouths of white people- it was an offensive oppressive word that served white people who didn't want to see black people as human beings or as individuals. The word could never possibly be as offensive if said by a person of the same race. If a scouser calls another scouser a scouse cunt they'll both laugh. If a manc says it...and so on.

Not entirely IMHO. There's a real difference between the kind of situation he describes and one in which the offending party can be subject to legal proceedings, and punishment if found guilty. When the law gets involved, you can't properly have one rule for one group in society and another rule for the rest. In its own way that too is discriminatory.
