Rio Ferdinand Shows True Colours.

I am offended.

 

How do you think Choc Ices feel after likened to Ashley Cole.

Now that is offensive.

 

they are playing up to the media..i refuse to be a sheep with my thoughts needing approval from the media and mass hysteria.

 

This ^

Too many people justify their own thoughts or have 'their own' thoughts basically handed to them by the media.

Just like with the Suarez case I refuse to let media bollocks effect my thoughts as I am capable enough to make my own mind up.

Surely everyone knows the media are their to cause a stirr and sensationalise everything ?

 

Good post.

 

Back on the Man Utd board again i see. Rio will get a slap on the wrist nothing more.

 

Stop being a ****ing child.Since when has any board been exclusive?.

 

haha the irony. I love the people like you who think that everyone is dumb and that only you have a brain to do the right things. You must be the new einstien right? We can all await the next discovery of a genius such as yourself.

Everyone has to use the media to make decisions. The media reports on stuff we read. Your whole life and all your views must be shaped by the media and society. And everyone contributes to society, of which the media is part.

 

Where did I say everyone else makes there mind up via the media you ****ing ******. You must learn to read.

I simply pointed out that I don't and that I'm capable of making my own mind up. I must have touched a nerve ay ?

Of course peoples opinions are shaped by the media but having the ability to think for your self on what is being presented to you via the media makes a big difference.

Next time before you makle yourself look stupid maybe you should actually read what I wrote ? ie Too many people doesn't equal all people

 

WTF are you on about? Cole was branded a sellout. And he should be ashamed of himself. He gave evidence for Terry. He was then called a choc ice. As has been explained many times, this is an abusive term for a black person who is seen to side with white ideals (whatever thet are). What more is there to say?
And no, you're not being racist if a white person has those views on black people; ie; if he feels that the white race is superior.

 

My racism? Good God what an idiot you are. If it was the other way round, irrespective of colour, I would feel exactly the same. Rio should have told the "twatter" concerned to shut up and do one. My viewpoint is based on what was said and most normal people I have spoken to see it for what it is. Some of you on this forum fail to see past the end of your nose.

 

"I have never advocated this being right/wrong, just saying what IS."

I accept your contention that how the laws (and rules in the case of the FA) are not admistered the way they have been written (i.e. gender/race/etc NEUTRAL supposedly there to defend all ffom harrassment and discrimination from ANY source) but you should accept the right of others to protest, comment and resist that laws based upon equality are not practised equally.

Shades of Animal Farm's "Some animals are more equal than others". And no, I don't mean the porno version...

 

"The choc ice comment doesnt mean acting white as some are keen to try and make it mean."

Really? I mean, REALLY?! So he WAS saying Ashley was a frozen turd to be used as a dildo?

 

Oh good you took that exactly as it was meant

 

Racism is like the crime of murder

murder needs mensrea and actus reus to be murder.

racism is a belief that certain people have certain characteristics and then the predjudice and discrimination against a person of a DIFFERENT race based on those beliefs

 

or as explained he was calling him fake. I dont see why a white person cannot be called a ''choc ice'' in that context. so you know the white american black gangsta wannabes

It slike Uncle Tom. which was about a strong muscular black man who took no ****, and not teh old grey haired fella thatgets imagined.
Now here most people percieve the definition to be
a black who is overeager to win the approval of whites (as by obsequious behavior or uncritical acceptance of white values and goals)

where actually this is the better definition

a member of a low-status group who is overly subservient to or cooperative with authority <the worst floor managers and supervisors by far are women &#8230; Some of them are regular Uncle Toms>

 

omg.

 

I really do despair. No matter how simply things are put to you, you go round in circles. I give up, I really do.

 

**** me sideways!!

 

Mate I've dealt with some cases in my time but this board is like something from another planet.
