    Thanks but you are wasting your time. This lot don't see any further than their stupid red spectacles.
    Everything you explain to them will be met by repeat questions or "prove it". Even when you have several times.

    Thanks Blueman, I was struggling to grasp that. All I did was make a comparison.

    If I say to a black lad 'you dance like a white man', is that a racial slur against the white race, or against him for not being able to dance, or both??
    Or I am I having joke based on perceived steroetypes?

    Fair point but in this day and age, if the wrong person heard it, it may be construed as one. Ridiculous I know.
    All I'm trying to point out is that RIO agreed with the tweet. I'm not saying it should or will go to court. I hope not anyway.

    We all know he agreed with it, he virtually said that. It's just getting silly now, how football managers allow these thick ****s to have twitter accounts is beyond me

    Possibly I suppose as you used the person's colour. I really don't know. You would have to ask a legal expert.

    Mohammed Ali called George Foreman an Uncle Tom years ago, I think I will report him to the police. He is a racist

    And that's the one thing Ali truly regrets to this day, even more so than turning to Islam.

    If a person believes it but doesn't say it, does it make him a racist?

    Liverpool player involved in racism issue = United fans reaction is that he is racist, and Liverpool fans are racist if they support him.
    Chelsea player in involved in racism issue = United fans reaction is that he is racist, and Chelsea fans are racist if they support him.
    United player involved in racism issue = United fans reaction is that it was a joke and that racism issues are boring now, can we just move on please!

    Yes, everyone is a racist nowadays. With the Olympics due to start you would think that people would have more sense

    Of course it does, racism is not just getting caught like john terry. I think the only thing with dferdinand is that he said something about a person of the same race, they are both mixed race from black and white british parents.

    Personally I hate the twat and am not arsed one bit about it, he will struggle to start in our first eleven next year and I think now would be an ideal time to sell old elvis lip

    Fooking hell, when did I die and up in this Kafkaesque nightmare? So, who judges this thought-crime? Derren Brown? Paul Mckenna? Rio X?
