Although, Hannibal is a canny player his shooting is terrible. All them bullets fired and not a single baddie was ever hit.
There's a good conversation to be had about racism, the jokes, the serious stuff, the rise in Nazism and right wing propaganda, people being comfortable being racist in the current political climate, the link to immigration and social media....its really fascinating. I don't think we have enough patience for it.
World's gone mad, or should I say soft as ****e. I called someone at work a thick c*nt (he is mind) during an argument. He reported it to HR and I ended up with a final written warning. I for one will never pander to the woke, snowflake arse holes!
Both aspects of the incident need to be separated and treated on their own merit. The stamp should be treated for what it is. What was said in response should be treated for what it is. Mixing the two up and throwing in a past event for good measure is classic social media manipulation, the engaging of emotions and then diluting the racism aspect in that cauldron. It doesn’t matter if Mejbri did a roundhouse kick in the guys bollocks, the action and the verbal reaction need to be treated separately. The recommended approach is to report racist abuse to the referee immediately. As this wasn’t followed it will probably make Mejbri’s case more difficult to argue. Suspect it will come down to who heard what and without a referee on that list will fizzle out as each side sticks up for their own.
I find the whole racism debate disturbing and interesting at the same time. What is racism? Can a colour be racist? Are only black people allowed to be offended by racist terms What is casual racism? Why do people feel the need to be offended and use racism as an excuse for that as some kind of vindication of themselves. Stand up! Speak up! But stop hiding behind woke speak or agendas. I believe everybody on the planet is the same and don't care about colour religion politics age sexual orientation etc. Etc. Etc. But a **** is a ****! A prick is a prick and an arsehole is an arsehole no matter their colour or ethnicity. Racism is not in the language used it is in the hatred behind the language. Hating somebody because their life or life choices, or because they were born into a different culture or believe different things is wholeheartedly wrong (unless you a mag ) For me the whole world needs to stop spinning and people need to look at what really upsets them.
That's fine but very clearly not what I did here ... ... what you're doing is allowing your preconceptions, and possibly prejudice, to make you see only what you choose to. "The recommended approach is to report racist abuse to the referee immediately." That's precisely what did happen, once again you seem to be seeing what you choose to.
