Lecturing people is what he is trained to do. My sister found that a hard practice to stop outside of the classroom.

Was Bernardo directly racist? No
Could someone perceive it as racist if they take it out of context (I’m assuming less than 1% of people had heard of this brand before this whole escapade)? Yes
Was there any malice? No
Do people have the right to be offended? Yes
Do I think these people have overreacted? Yes
This whole episode has been about “edgy banter”. Sure it should have been kept private, but the amount of bollocks that has been spouted as a result of this has been mental. I just wish I’d have known as I’d have bought shares in that company.
Yeah, probably, but if I don't want trouble its better I avoid it, and heed their advice isn't it ? We have to sign an agreement about this, or we can be disciplined for not signing it, is it over the top, yes probably, but its part of our conditions of service.Ultimately someone of a particular political, social persuasion with perhaps differing sensibilities is deciding on your freedom of expression.
As soon as it was deleted with “come on guys” it was over.
Somebody had a word he took it on the chin, put a comment out there .
That was it, not one more thing needed to be done. Self regulated & obviously educated at that moment but no, Bluemoon & podcasts had to hang him & all the media & FA jumped on him.
Has anyone considered how Mendy, Sterling & others feel? They get racially abused & then see their mate hung out to dry then they’ll go back to ignoring real issues. It’s how all cover ups are done, first you need a Patsy & that’s Bernardo.
I don't think Bernardo made an error of judgment but rather those judging him have.Yeah, probably, but if I don't want trouble its better I avoid it, and heed their advice isn't it ?

My opinion is that City should give stronger advice, so some of the blame lies there.
I don't think what he did was racist, I don't think he was/is racist, I don't agree with the charges either, but I do think the club should make sure they don't get into this trouble in the first place, they have all sorts of advice available for players, and yet we allow them reasonable freedom on social media. Most of them are sensible enough to be careful, but Bernardo made an error of judgement (hindsight being a wonderful thing), and sadly he's now suffering for it.
That's not what I said, you said things about gay people and transvestites in previous posts from what I can see, so lecturing people about race isn't clever, I'm more than happy for you to comment about race, just don't lecture people was my advice ;-)No change of tone needed as I will call it a day, however if I’m not allowed to speak about race and how we are allowed or not allowed to discuss it in schools, on a bluemoon forum then don’t you think that’s a little sad.
Yeah pretty much this, then I would point out that David Silva, KdB, Fernandhino, Stones, Walker, Zinchenko, Ederson (I could go on...) either don't comment on social media at all, or just comment on boring shit.What advice would you have the club give, other than stay off social media where everything can cause offence.
