This Banana thing

In approximate order:

• You aren't the sole arbiter of what is and isn't appropriate. You assume you are, otherwise you would display a little humility.
• You didn't have to take everyone on. I suspect most of the dissenters don't like your tone as much as what you are saying.
• Nobody is suggesting "blacking up".
• I always refrain from using "woke", "lefty" and "snowflake" about anyone. They hold about as much meaning as "gammon" and are just indicators of how far public discourse has been degraded in the Web 2.0 era.
• I can't be arsed combing this thread but you have gone way beyond appealing for a lack of plastic bananas at the game. That's why so many posters have baited/memed you. You have slain enough characters on the way to page 27 that your protests fall somewhat flat. My somewhat pithy comments about you are in line with what you have "Doled" out.
• OP made the same point as you but somehow managed to not irk so many other posters, there is a good reason for that. I stand by what I said, it was only when you started whiteknighting for Greta Thunberg that I realised your perspective is way out of wack and felt compelled to comment in such a fashion. It wasn't nice, but in the throes of your (perceived) virtue, neither are you. Normally though, I'm sure you're a real nice bloke. I can tell your heart is in the right place.

Anyways, see you on the Kop tomorrow. I'll be the one not holding a banana. UTO.

TBH I don't like any inflatables in general, but that's just me.

I just don't see the point, why we should use the last league game of the season to offend anybody.

Let's have fun in blue and white and maybe even pink. 

What about a bit of brown?

[Owlstastic]

I was intending to attend the game wearing a lime green mankini while holding an inflatable surfboard. Too much??

Apparently, as recently as 2016 Man City gave away loads of inflatable bananas to their supporters ahead of the League cup semi final. 
 

Typical of DC to make us buy our own

Careful Luke - GB will call you a hater if you keep that up

Who gives a flying f#ck 

 

Imagine openly admitting you would stay up most of the night wondering if a inflatable banana is racist

 

All the things happening in the world and a banana is pushing you over the edge 

 

Jesus christ ,get a bloody life

A) its spelt racist 

B)ye I'm a hater on pathetic people like you who spends their life looking for issues and problems that dont exist 

 

You life must be pretty amazing if a inflatable banana has caused you to stay up most of the night wondering if its racist 

 

Get a life

I was thinking of taking a blow up champagne bottle but now I’m worried it’s inappropriate with all the cost of living crisis. Don’t want people to think I am rubbing their noses in it if they are struggling to pay any bills.

Why aren’t the sale of inflatable bananas outlawed if they’re so racist ?

 

OR 

 

is it the person buying/holding the banana that’s racist ? 
 

SO

 

is everyone that purchases/ holds/bats an inflatable banana a racist ? 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It should be on the front of the packet in bold letters "RACIST INFLATABLE BANANA"

That way you cant' be accidentally racist by buying one in error

[Devonstrix]

Here's the appropriate  non-racist football chant to go with all the hundreds of inflatables tomorrow

 

 

Tra la la, tra la la, la
Tra la la, tra la la, la
Tra la la, tra la la, la
Tra la la, tra la la, la

One banana, two banana, three banana, four
All bananas make a split, so do many more
Over hill and highway, the banana buggies go
Come along to bring you the banana splits show

Neil, I think you should put some sort of triggering warning at the beginning of this thread. I’d hate Owlstalk to be cancelled or owt

So the racist is the one doing the inflating not the one doing the waving/chucking.

thank goodness for that, I’ve been worried that I’d become a racist if sed banana hit me on the back of my head

I'll leave others to be the judge of that. Other posters not racist, knuckle dragging, autistic girl bullying, neanderthals that think they want to go back to the 80's because they don't share your opinion. But in your mind they are. Because you say so.

 

Yours, sans banana,
