Racist away fans (again)

WTF have you got against pit villages? At least three times on this thread you've brought it up? Some wonderful tight knit communities in those villages and your comments are a disgrace to the good people who live there.

Sounds like a sneering knob to me mate, he must shudder when he sees the colliery wheel on the club’s crest. Sounds to me like he’d be better off supporting another club.
 
Calling any player personally can be construed as unacceptable.

Let’s be honest here all this tip toeing round black people goes back to slavery really which is now a thing of the past but people just can’t let it go.

It’s funny how the blacks can quickly let go of their treatment towards the whites they enslaved in North Africa though. Apparently over a million suffered through this.

Jesus Horatio Christ...
How you're trying to be the victim here I have no idea?
Just stop. You're embarrassing yourself.
 
Who mentioned slavery?

Every society has had slavery at one point. You really don’t have a scoobie about racism. Yet seek to tell others they can’t get offended.
That’s what it all comes back to in terms of the black chip on shoulder.

Conveniently forgetting that white people were subject to it by blacks.

I’m trying to be the victim? What am I trying to be the victim of exactly?
 
Can't believe the majority on here defend racism. Such a sad state of affairs
I actually am quite impressed (although sad it has to be done) as I think the majority are challenging the racism and good on them. Even if you disregard the original post, the comments on this forum still show some people think it's ok to express racist views or are extremely ignorant as to what racism is. There was one person getting a lot of flak (rightly so) on the first few pages yet there were plenty of people 'liking' his comments. However, what give me some re-assurance is the amount of people who have been willing to challenge these idiots and the amount of 'likes' they have got. This thread shows that, whilst there is some way to go, the ignorant racist idiots are definitely in the minority and well done to all who have challenged them.
With regard to the pit village argument, I think again to section out one section of society is wrong. In pit villages are some of the most generous and accepting people, willing to help anyone of any background - there are also some racists...as there are in surrounding towns and Sunderland (and other) city centres.
There are still lots of ignorant people about but more re-assuringly, there are many more people willing to shout them down than there were in the past.
 
It bothers me because I think racism is disgusting and anyone that thinks its acceptable is a throwback to a bygone era.
Explain to me why calling one of our black players a monkey is acceptable.

In fact, don't bother. The fact that you think it's acceptable says everything about you.
f***ing racist bigot.

After telling the racist to fuck off, I'd tell the steward to and have them removed from the ground. There should be a zero tolerance towards racism.
If a player, any player miss-controls the ball, it's fine to have a moan - hell, call him crap if you want - but turning a criticism into a racist remark is unacceptable



Oh woe is me...
But but but black people....

Shut the fuck up man.

Man alive...
Black people have been subjugated, enslaved and treated like second class citizens, and still are in some parts of the world by some people ('Murica), here apparently too.
And you think they have a chip on their shoulder?
Just stop.

Any racism ever committed by black people in history.

victim of slavery I’d presume.
What evidence have you got that to back up your claim white skinned people have been enslaved by black skinned people?

Good point. Didn't think of it that way.

The type of people defending it don't seem to be in my daily life so it's a shock when people behave like that still.
