Bernardo Silva tweet controversy

[Scottyboi]

Not one person in the media seems to give a fuck what effect this could have on Bernardos mental health. People have offed themselves for alot less.

Actually, what is happening here is people are telling mendy what he should be thinking.

Typical liberals who always think they know better, just like the brexit argument.

George Orwell would be nodding sagely. Its happening.

I don't mean to the FA, I mean on his social media account.

Fuck the FA!

I agree, kept looking at Mendy's account and nothing. I came to the conclusion that the Club probably told them to keep it off twiiter.

No he shouldn't have mentioned his skin colour,it was not about his skin colour,both him and bernie wrote to the fa,he has backed his friend up

You won't see it so you don't/ won't know; it would have been important to mention things as I said so that the Black people that WERE offended were NOT as offended as they could have been.

It wouldn't change things for everyone, BUT it would've saved people like me being less disappointed in people like Mendy and Bernardo, for that matter, for playing things out in the open.

Again. Private banter no one gives a fuck other than the people involved. Public banter then everyone has got an opinion. It’s not difficult.

Everyone gets offended. There's a difference.

People are talking about context here, while missing the entire context

Please explain.

Because you are black and I am white doesn't mean you have the right to say what is acceptable between mates.

You're dehumanizing both Mendy and Bernardo because they are famous

And you don't absorb the wider context of the issue.

I was quietly enjoying a bacon butty this lunchtime when I tuned into film 4’s presentation of ‘return of the pink panther’ which in one scene presented a situation in which a white man- called ‘clouseau’ I think, indulged in a violent confrontation with an oriental fellow called ‘cato’ I believe, and twice during this conflict, a reference was made by the white person to the oriental chap’s skin being ‘yellow’.
Frankly I was appalled, and I am looking forward to the wave of wall-to-wall self-righteous , condemnatory blanket coverage of this horrendous event in the popular media tomorrow.

Whatever you do, don't watch The Damnbusters.

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

And you don't absorb the wider context of the issue.

There's nothing to absorb.

Bernardo is getting it fucking hard from the virtue signallers.

Has anyone complained about the logo itself? Have they fuck. They've got a target and they won't stop until they've ruined the man.

The far left. The most dangerous ****s there are

If a mate tells me a joke about Jews that I don’t find anti Semitic then it’s not for someone else to tell me it isn’t. Same in this case. End of discussion. The media are driving this and trying to destabilise both the club and Bernardo. The club should start banning journalists and start refusing to answer leading questions.
