What does that have to do with anything? I don’t get why some people call it each other. I felt uncomfortable in America when they kept calling it me, but that was meant in an endearing term to fit in. Theres a big difference between being called it with hatred and malice or to get a reaction than it is from friend to friend. Surely you can tell the difference and know it’s very very wrong.

Racism is power plus privilege and Forestieri is an Argentinian, a persecuted minority in this country for the war we fought against them not long ago. He was powerless against this British man here and his accusations. I sugguest you stop changing definitions to try and make our player look like a racist Mr Uncle Tom or people will start to think you’re a blunt in disguise... What a load of utter rubbish.

He’s removed it now stating that the club asked him to. Not surprised, requesting that people "swing on him instantly" if they seem him and admitting he'd been hunting him down in the game ....

Yes it's very wrong to call someone that word. It's just hypocritical if you use the word yourself, regardless of your motive behind it. There's a difference of course, but you can't have one rule for one and then claim it racist for another. Maybe he hates the term all the time, but his spelling of it in the post indicates he uses it at least endearingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. n3gr0 is black in Spanish. But then he's still called him black in Spanish so in that case it would be racist.

Maybe he hates the term all the time, but his spelling of it in the post indicates he uses it at least endearingly. Just my opinion, it’s not hypocritical to use that word yourself. The way I see it is it’s a way of owning it and taking the power and negativity away from it. For me it’s all good using it in a joking way, or if my mates want to. I’d hate a world where we couldn’t joke about our differences, even if it’s offensive. It’s when it’s said negatively and people mean or believe what they say where I draw the line. Had this discussion many time with friends and colleagues, usually quite an interesting one. I do feel it’s a shame we are somewhat censored and everything is far to politically correct in this day and age. I sort of agree with one rule for one and one for another isn’t on, but it’s usually down to the context. As as I said for me personally joking is fine from anybody, being called it as a greeting or in general conversation I find a bit strange, but won’t upset me. It’s when it comes with hate. As I said in an earlier post. IF Fernando has said something racist, it doesn’t make him a racist, he’s just used a racist term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, which makes it a little disconcerting when you first move to a Spanish speaking country (or has for me at least seeing Negro Chocolate etc).

matthefish2002 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Whether FF is the sinner or sinned against here, whether you love, hate or indifferent to him I am getting bored with the circus that seems to surround him. If he stays be something else in a couple of months and its getting tedious now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are certain phrases that have connotations with slavery and the abuse/mistreatment of people over the years - I’m not sure whether black is one, but who am I to decide?
