A Horse With No Name Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 1 minute ago, joe jordans teeth said: Totally different in my eyes,this situation is like Fury fighting AJ in boxing and the commentators saying the black bloke is taking a hiding No because the commentator would know AJs name, obviously. The 4th official didn't know the coaches name, so described him the best he could. Unfortunate, but its the reaction that makes the fight against racism all the harder.

And Its Smith Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Lots of hearsay and people taking a position when we don’t know the full facts of this case. Words are important but tone and context are just as important. Probably best to have an open mind until we know more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prankerd Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I lived in spain as a kid and many kids would call me negro in a racist manner, its a simple way to get around not calling you the n word. Im pretty sure all officials in the champions league have to communicate in english as a rule? So why is he saying negro in romanian for? Even if you dont agree its racist, you should at least understand that calling a black guy especially ones who have had racist abuse in france and turkey aimed at them, negro, not particularly a smart move right? I have never heard anyone call anyone blanco, have you? I wouldnt say most people are racist i just feel most people are uneducated in this.

So they can describe themselves as black, but the 4th official can't describe a coach as black? Is it not the same as saying the blonde guy, or even the word guy? Happy to be proven wrong here, just querying. Someone using their own skin colour as an identifier is different to a stranger doing so. I cant remember her name, but there's a comedian with cerebral palsy, a lot of her jokes are around that and make fun of herself, yet if you saw a person who didn't know her making fun of her cerebral palsy you'd probably (I hope) consider that person extremely rude.

I dunno, I'm just trying to make a comparison... “Most people do it” isn’t a defence for racism Like it or not, you shouldn’t identify someone in that manner (except obviously in formal settings such as identify a suspect of a crime) It has deep rooted meaning to identify someone as “the black one”, and once again it’s not for us who have never experienced it to judge what is and isn’t offensive. You might not agree with it but ultimately it’s not your decision to make. Most of my office at work are white, in fact in our company side of it only one guy in the office is black. If someone asked me how to find the H&S guy, the last thing I’d say is yea go down the office he’s the black guy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point is that if the player in question was white, the official wouldn’t have said ‘that white guy’. This is because, in my experience, white people rarely/never use skin colour as part of a description if describing other white people. It only gets brought in when describing other races.

Stortz Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 The usual suspects lining up to dictate when black people should put up with racism. Every player and all the staff from both teams there walked off in solidarity, in full possession of the facts, and with reference to their own lived experience, but some middle aged white man sat on his laptop in Bristol knows better than they do. You're showing your prejudices lads, and it isn't pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be deliberately being thick, I cannot believe you are really pursuing this line of thought. I'm not too familiar with the Romanian language myself but I have noticed that Romanian's are some of the least subtle/nuanced people I know and I think in part its because their language doesn't have as much range as English does so they can't mince their words as much. When Romanians speak English they can often come across as abrupt in my experience. Sounds like your argument considers 'being black' in a closer category to being disabled rather than it just being a feature of someone's body, that's quite a statement! People generally don't feel the need to add the baggage of hundreds of years of repression onto somebody when its not particularly relevant like when identifying somebody, don't think its going to be particularly beneficial for society black or white if adding that baggage onto basic everyday conversation becomes the norm.

That wasn't my argument at all and you know it. It is called drawing parallels. The fact is people have been discriminated against for being black, as have people with disabilities, for many years. Both someone's skin colour and whether they have a disability is something that a person can do nothing about. I do not consider someone being black to be closer to someone having a disability, I was highlighting how in both cases it is something they cannot control. As opposed to the weak "what about hair colour" argument, when hair colour is something that can be controlled. Your dishonesty here is ******* vile you utter scumbag.
