Indeed. How is a black french footballer suddenly African-American?
I don’t see any connection to the USA.

Using the word "coloured" is seen as derogatory nowadays, using the word black to describe a person from Africa or the West Indies is really ok and the black person will respect you for it. I think the word coloured is outlawed because it has associations with slavery.'
I disagree with that point of view...Just a snippet for all you victim junkies out there.
I got bullied at school and compared to the fictional comic character, Plug because I was tall, ugly and had sticky out ears. I also got voted the person most likely to be bald by the time he’s 20.
I’m 51 now, with a full head of hair and have had a reasonably good life. But if you could be offended on my behalf, that would be great!

Well using the word black is correct I assure you.it’s not considered correct within education I’m affraid.
Oh so now you're saying brown is better than black eh?Fair enough and I wouldn't say it now but if I was brown I would cherish that and not wish to be referred to as black
The FA should heve taken what bernie and benny have told then and not charged him,they absolutely had the option to not charge him,they have bowed to media pressure despite all the people coming out to say it is not racistFirst, I understand Portuguese Bernard was having a joke with his mate, and had no I'll intention with his tweet.
However, not sure what else the FA can do but charge him, find him guilty and give him a ban. And yes this isnt really fair.
The issue becomes how long a ban. I'm sure the scousers and scouse loving media etc will want 6 matches given he was key against them last year. Personally I'd call a three match ban reasonable.
I also understand that this post will not make me that popular on here.

Raz just said benny is a black man,it is perfectly okit’s not considered correct within education I’m affraid.
