Bernardo Silva tweet controversy

[dronefromsector7G]

Why would I have to when the dictionary does it for me?

Racism is also termed as showing prejudice or antagonism against another race. It doesn’t have to be all about superiority.

 

[Mon Autre]

...and isn't racist.

...but it is.

 

[bluemooners09]

If Mendy sent Silva a pic of a white cartoon character would the same people on here be shouting that it's racist?

 

[oakiecokie]

So we've had one black guy saying what people on here want to hear and another black guy being told to shut up because he was saying something else. Got it.

I`m saying we have the utmost respect for a black guy from City who treats this shit as it is ... fuck all to be seen.

This is a car crash of a thread.

 

[SWP's back]

Discrimination, antagonism or prejudice based on race or religion

Which of those three was it?

 

[SWP's back]

If you're going to lean on a dictionary like you are doing with domalino then you should know the answer.

So just your opinion then? OK.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Bernardo was foolish with that but it's not such a big deal as his intention wasn't racist.

Succinctly put.

There isn't a racist bone in Bernardo's body imo. You only have to look at the harmony of the squad when we score to see the love.

I just wish a the judge-mentalists would drop this racist accusation shite.

If you're pre-judging that someone has a big dick because they're black then I'll have to go with prejudice, mate.

Come on mate, you're letting yourself down here.

I'm talking about the tweet.

I'm fully aware the big dick thing is untrue from 20 years playing rugby and football.

 

[oakiecokie]

Not really likewise.

Yes not the right wording ref "likewise" but I think you know what I mean.Nice to get a positive response from someone who has first hand knowledge of racism and has stated that he`s not in least bit offended.Unlike some snowflakes on this forum who keep throwing the morality card,when in reality theres fuck all to be seen.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

I'm talking about the tweet.

My bad, all these denials are getting overlapped.

 

[bluemooners09]

Jim White is desperately trying to label Silva a racist. Utter scumbag

Edit- Now he's saying he knows he's not racist. What a dick.

 

[domalino]

Shifting the goalposts? I never said Bernardo was racist, I said he compared Mendy to a racist cartoon.

Why dont you give us the dictionary that requires thinking you're of a superior race in their definition of racism.

 

[SWP's back]

Why dont you give us the dictionary that includes thinking you're of a superior race in their definition of racism.

Not hard, first link that comes up:

noun
a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.

For someone that clearly believes they know everything, I am surprised you weren't aware.

Oh, you seem to have missed out half their definition. I'm sure that was completely accidental.

Why don't you post the other 2 definitions for us? The one where it says racism can be defined as "racial prejudice or discrimination"

That's odd, isn't it? Because you declared that something is only racist if you say you're from a superior race, but now the dictionary is saying anything that involves racial prejudice or discrimination falls under the definition of racism.

I know you're not an idiot, I don't know why you decided to take a stand on this particular hill and refuse to accept something can be racist unless it declares you're from a superior race when it is so patently and clearly bollocks.

Not sure you are aware how dictionaries work. There can be several definitions under one word, I used the first definition of the first link.

As I say, for a know-all, I am surprised you admit you weren't aware of that definition.

 

[SWP's back]

and refuse to accept something can be racist unless it declares you're from a superior race when it is so patently and clearly bollocks.

SO the tweet is racist?

PS - editing after I have already quoted you is annoying as fuck.
