You are mistaken if you think I'm looking for an equivalent. Read the posts again - you objected to people being 'offended on someone else's behalf', I'm pointing out that's a very natural thing to do.

So you mustn't have ever had a heated debate on here then. It's only words.

It's amazing the amount of people have a problem about others getting offended on another's behalf who also bemoan the fact that no-one gives a fuck about anyone apart from themselves anymore.

The arguments on these threads are always utterly tortured like.

A lot of people tying themselves up in knots in an attempt to evade having to say what they really think.

It's not horseshit - over 50% of SAFC football fans ive worked with have come out with racist comments about footballers & society over the years. Just cos they don't do monkey noises or chant racist things at the match doesn't mean they aren't racist.

Marra between myself, my old ma and my uncle we have 1000s of SAFC games under our belt.

There is one incident of racism any of us can recall from our support, which resulted in the culprit getting the shit kicked out of him by other Mackems.
 
The usual stuff, someone will hear a racist comment ( that is not even offered up to see how shit it really is) then others will fall over themselves to paint as many people as they can as being racist to make themselves feel better.
''Loads of Sunderland fans '' and ''Over 50% of Sunderland fans'' .....what absolute crap.
If we were a racist crowd, the media and players and authorities would pick up on it and hammer us. But we aren't. We do get 40000 going and in that you absolutely will get some racist scum, but for some reason people on here try to blow it out of all proportion.
This is not condoning it, if you hear it, report the thick twat who is doing it. But save your shite about most of us being racist, we aren't and it is f***ing insulting to say so.

Will we ever truely rid our support base of the racism culture that very much still exists between a small portion of our fan base.

The abuse that Jozy Altidore among others is disgusting, Seemingly people think it's ok as they've paid their money and he's on loads!

Idiots..

For the record I'm not trying to draw any conclusions about how many racists there are in a football crowd, or how common thee incidents are. I was only replying to one poster on here who doesn't see anything wrong in making a comment like the ones referred to in the OP

Perhaps he is in the ignorant tiny minority
 
Down Cardiff the lad behind me shouted "Altidore ya useless black ****" f***ing embarrassing it is, absolute f***ing moron.
 
What exactly is racism? There seems to be many contrasting views on the issue.

I haven't heard a racist chant at any football match in ten years , certainly not at a sunderland match , wwhereare you hearing this shit ?
On the telly?
 
You'll never get rid of racism in any walk of life, it's always going to be there. Xenophobia comes in many forms, and every club has an element.

A Mag mate of mine used to always come out with "Ameobi isn't Black, he fell in to a bucket of Black paint!"
