It's absolutely embarrassing and I hear it all of the time. Those undercurrents are felt by the players and whilst it's easy to blame money for players not wanting to come North, I can help but think there's still a perception of Sunderland as a club. We need to be careful. I want us to be seen as a progressive, modern club as opposed to Brexit voting knuckle draggers.

That's the diplomat in me.

The other side of me can't help but laugh at the irony; most of the rascist remarks I hear come from absolute **** faced numbskulls without an ounce intelligence.

What a complete load of steaming horseshit

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.

The good people who live there contain a percentage of closet racists.

This isn't made up, I grew up and lived surrounded by it.

Sorry if this is an unpalatable truth to you.

Would I do it? No but i wouldn’t throw anything at a player.

Of course when tales of ginola wearing a hot pie stotted off him from the main stand are told it’s met with much hilarity.

You're not stupid so I'm pretty sure you can see the difference. Someone throwing a banana at a black man is because of the colour of his skin. It's undeniably racist. Someone throwing a pie off Ginola is just dickhead behaviour throwing stuff at a bloke because he plays for Newcastle
 
It’s rare that I hear racism at the match nowadays, but there was a young lad sitting behind me at the Middlesbrough friendly who made a racist comment towards Assombalonga. When I turned round, he looked around 16 and sitting next to, what I assumed was, his Mam.

I was a bit surprised as a) normally such comments come from older folk, or lads in large groups looking to get a laugh from their mates, and b) his mam hadn’t given him a clout round the ear.

Anthony Joshua comes out with claims that the ‘black race is supreme’. Where were all the great and good in the world of black celebs to condemn him? Infact the silence was deafening from the white community as well.
The double standards are there for all to see.

It wasn't, and his people claimed it was hacked.

Regardless his comment is racist and unacceptable and as bad as the remarks in the OPs post. Neither are acceptable.

How do you know if they're "closet racists?"
So you actually hear people in Cornforth say the don't want blacks living there? Do you confront them, or report them? Or just moan on here?
Labelling whole villages on your wrongly perceived views? Your views on pit villages are a disgrace!

Both are dickhead behaviour.
Society brainwashes people into believing one is worse than the other though.

His people claimed he was hacked :lol::lol::lol:
It was a conversation with another heavyweight Eddie chambers which had been going on for days.
At first Eddie Hearn said it was a fake account, when realised it wasn’t and couldn’t get out of it that way he was apparently ‘hacked’.:lol:

He seems the type who has moved out of the area and believes himself to be better than others, coming across as a right wanker.

I’m sure there’ll ve “closet racists” in his new upper class area mate.

What makes you think it isnt ok now? Tell you what we have in this country - free speech. Try it sometime. If words are going to hurt you that much I'd suggest you wont be lasting very long on here or in England.

The word "banana" and you lose the plot? Absolutely pathetic. FFS.

Piss off.

Free speech does not mean free from consequences.
I hope someone reminds you of that the next time you hear a racist remark
