Sorry, I was meant to say this:
Yeh blud, love to talk like that homie
It's no use coming on here saying sorry you waazack, head the ball, fruit cake, barm cake, soft lad, stupid git, divvy, ............
A 'feartie' is somebody who's scared, like too scared to show up for a drug test or something.
A '****ter' is somebody who says "So there," like a little girl.

is the fruit cake comment suppose to offend someone?
Perhaps the ladies from the WI?
Surely the whole premise of that song is racist, right up there with will smith and his, white man cant..... Dance, play basketball etc
To be honest if were talking about Rio Ferdinand I think **** just about covers it.....

Does the FA now act against Rio? Frankly his excuse is a flimsy as Terry's defence. If the FA does nothing isnt that double standards?

To be honest, I don't see anything happening with this. I would love to see Rio X in trouble for racism though
Technically speaking, haven't the FA been 'choc-ice' like when it comes to racism in general...?

Don't know if i'm being stupid here, but why is everyone refering to him as Rio X?

Yes...
PS - I assume you know of Malcolm X...? Fought against the slave trade / racism in the sixties...? Rio X is fighting racism nowadays...? Rio X...? ...
I presume its referencing a rather famous American Civil Rights leader from the 1960s

I'm not fond of this personal vendetta against me that you currently have!
I can't say I'm aware of him, but ok that makes sense. I blame the fact I wasn't born back then on not knowing

No vendetta or offence intended pal
These boards being so slow and boring probably aren't helping as there is very little to comment on.

I'm not black either, just thought everyone knew who Malcolm X was but obviously not

I didn't study history, hated the subject at school. I do take an interest in some historic things such as Titanic, the Krays, the wars, etc but not stuff like black american history
You never seen the film American History X...? Or the Mahammad Ali story...? Malcolm X is mentioned in both...

Nah, just watch Igor instead, it'll be more fun...
This is the point: As LFC fans we need to emit a bitter chuckle over this & shake our heads slowly. Because no matter what happens we don't win.
Terry: if the FA charge him like Suarez, they may be treating players equally, but equally wrong. Criminal accusations should be dealt with by the Courts, Suarez should have been & we are confident he would have been found not guilty. Terry got his court case & was found not guilty. I find it ridiculous that LFC fans that were criticising opposition fans during the Suarez affair now declare doubt over the Terry Verdict because it doesn't suit them & now want the FA to subvert our legal system in some faux act of equality. If the police beat up your brother for littering are you seriously suggesting you'd insist they beat up the next person you witness littering in the name of equal treatment? Wrong is wrong. Even if Terry was racist we have to maintain a burden of proof of beyond reasonable doubt if we have made an act a criminal offence.
It's the same with the special interest groups. Ironically they want the FA to punish Terry because they didn't get the verdict they wanted. They've obviously forgotten the legacy of mob rule where an interest group gets the verdicts they want or takes matters into their own hands if they don't. You don't need to wear a pointy white hat or swastika to have a tyranny of the vested interest.
Rio: again while it might satisfy some twisted feeling of ironic justice to see him pursued for his retweet/approval, what good will it serve? To entrench further this insane thought police direction we are heading in? He has clearly shown he has a bitterness & prejudice towards the "white" community. It's what Barnes called casual racism that exists on all sides. Rio can have white friends that he truly loves but will also talk about the generalised "white mans" agenda against blacks and those that betray "the black community" as if there's a war.
Same goes the other way. Terry may well have used casual racism in the form of archaic name calling while still truly believing that he is not a racist because he has & loves his black friends.
Suarez may have genuinely used a descriptive phrase innocently that Evra overreacted to based on HIS prejudices. Or Suarez may have deliberately used the word to wind Evra up. Either version displays casual racism. It was probably a bit of both.
Add in the underlying & still strong xenophobia of the British media to ANY foreigner and it paints a nasty picture. While the same media bellows in moral outrage at racist misogynistic thuggery.
Except as we have all proved on these forums the vast majority of us don't take these extreme positions between outright racism and Orwellian control.
We accept that prejudices reside in each & everyone of us and are the first thing used to excuse our own bad behaviour towards others.
I think like Barnes has suggested; instead of screaming crime & punishment we need to start talking honestly about the prejudices we all hold: be they based on class, race, gender, sectarian or xenophobic.
And I find it ironic that football has become a mirror for race issues in the country.
Has everyone forgotten that football depends on a highly tribalistic structure for its very success. You can't encourage tribalism & nationalism to fever pitch to sell a product and then tut & shake your head when the extremes of our society take it over the edge. They're morons.
