Bernardo Silva tweet controversy

[cheekybids]

Still love the idea of a bunch of older blokes living in a bubble calling everyone soft arses despite daily cries of unfair treatment from just about everyone outside of the club on the media thread.

Everyone's out to get you whether it's restricting your freedom of speech or trying their best to destroy City from the outside. And I bet you call Liverpool fans victims.

You're a parody of yourselves.

Mate some of us older blokes know what racism is, have lived it, seen it & never want to see it again. This is not racist, an issue & anyone that thinks it is must see issues in anything.

Let us embrace difference, have banter & ensure that “real racism” is dealt with cos I’d hate for it to be diluted with shite like this.

& for the record where were “kick it out” when Raz was getting constantly hammered for gun tattoos, fast cars & other bling crap. They were nowhere!

Scouse bastards wishing a lengthy ban for Bernardo whilst deep down knowing it was meant as a bit of fun. Fuck me, if my memory serves me right Keane only got a six game ban for finishing Alfie's career.

No a so called City fan that sits on redcafe blowing smoke up the rags arses and slags City and its fans off.

Do you spend a lot of time on there or something?

It's funny watching and reading their pain.

Ah yes
Would that be the same scouse bastards that supported the biter for racially abusing Evra by any chance?

101 goals site, they're quite a reputable source aren't they?

Lol

When I fancy a laugh yes.

I think Pep nailed it to be honest.

I'm not sure Pep jumping in and saying he thinks Mendy looks like the Chonguitos mascot as well has helped anything, it undoubtedly makes the story bigger and last longer.

 

[Malekith]

Time Mendy came out with a statement to put this fire out.
Something along the lines of “ for goodness sake please stop this nonsense. It was a private joke, made me laugh and caused me no offence whatsoever. Leave my mate alone!”

A private joke put on a public forum seen by millions. Embarrassing to see so many City fan's desperately looking for excuses for Bernando,it's exactly the thing dipper fans would do. Is Bernando racist? Obviously not, but it was an uneducated tweet simple as that

I'm sure some of you do but it's pretty evident from this thread that many don't.

Racist jokes are racist, people need to accept that and get over it.

It's called having an opinion. Soft arse

 

[Tugay One Cup]

You’re conflating several unrelated issues in a shite generalisation of a post there.

It's actually a pretty decent post highlighting the absurdity of the attitude of the vocal minority on here. Although I don't expect it to be popular, for obvious reasons.

 

[deano ou812]

Pardon me if I have missed it anywhere,but has Mendy come out and said anything about this or would the club be wanting him/the players to say nothing more ...

 

[7evens]

Pep's made this a lot worse. He should have just straight-batted it, "I don't know what happens with my players on social media. I don't get involved. Bernardo is a good guy, what my players do on social media is up to them." Doesn't leave Bernardo out to try, doesn't make anything worse, doesn't give the press anything to feed off. Instead...

 

[Oleole123]

The picture itself is racist. We all make some nasty jokes among friends but if u post that on twitter, it's dangerous.

Ban is coming 100%

I don't think many of you have an opinion on the matter, you just regurgitate whatever it is you've heard and read that makes you feel better about yourself.

 

[razman]

I thought , while the tweet is in between mates , it was on a Public forum - I can see why people are upset over it.

But for me the main concern was the Insta Video of Bernardo - with him calling Mendy naked because he is wearing a black shirt.

We may justify it as Banter but can easily see why it offends people and I can't disagree.

Hope there is no Ban for Bernardo though - it will be a lesson for him already

It wasn’t racist!

Danger; "a cause or likely cause of harm or injury."

Harm or injury!

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Correct!

Racist; "a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another."

There is no discrimination or prejudice in this and certainly no hint of anything to do with a belief in a particular race being superior to another.
