again, that does not make anybody a racist ? Wrong yes, stupid yes, but we are never going to be able to live together as one (humans) if we flash the racist card all the time, people get angry and say all sorts of things they don't mean in the heat of the moment, being a racist is a lifestyle not a spoken word

If you get convicted for racist abuse, it most certainly makes you a racist.

He’s using the guys skin colour with an expletive. It’s as racist as it gets.

If he wasn’t racist he’d simply have just called him a ****.

I suggest you look up the definition of racist, its most definitely not what you think it is.

adjective
  1. characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
    "we are investigating complaints about racist abuse
White **** = antagonism against a person on the basis of colour.

I get where you are coming from and if that's genuinely your way of looking at things when applied to whoever blurts these things out you may have a good point mate.

Yet the same people pointing things like this out ( not you that I can remember ) were doing mental gymnastics on the Crawley manager thread last week, to explain away why he isn’t a racist. No idea why that might be.

You have to stand up and speak out against a proper Racist, But sometimes people will look for any faults you make before judging themselves, we all have a dark side to ourselves and say some really hurtful things, but being wrong sometimes does not make you a horrible person it makes you human,

I know Trevor very well, he is not a racist far from it

The way I see it is there are plenty of words he could have used to vent his anger at the copper. Pig ****. Corrupt ****. Whatever. He chose to use the colour of his skin though, and it came naturally to him to do so.

If I get arrested be a black copper and I use his skin colour in a foul mouthed rant, it would be because I’m racist. It wouldn’t be in my vocabulary to do that though, because I’m not racist.
 
An independent panel has just decided that Trevor Sinclair is not a 'conscious racist'.

Similar incident before Christmas in ‘Home Bargains’ with me and the staff there, lady just collapsed in front of us, was going in and out of consciousness, staff phoned 999, same thing, shit loads of questions to which they kept replying “we don’t know, we don’t know her, we just work here”.
Kept phoning back as this lady was in serious trouble (they’d previously been told NOT to phone back again) again, same round of questions, going round in circles, almost like they were trying to buy themselves some time, eventually an ambulance turns up 90 minutes later.

Honestly, if me or a loved one ever need an ambulance, unless they’re in bits on the floor I’d be sorely tempted to get them in the car and drive them to the hospital, it’s really put me off having any confidence in the NHS as things stand, it’s clearly massively understaffed and underfunded.
