Bernardo Silva tweet controversy

[bluemooners09]

It's not on Bernard Mannings level.

Whilst it can be conceived of as a stupid post, I've been told numerous times that racism is racism if the receiving party takes offence, irrespective of whether offence was intended. Surely then, the converse applies...if the post is actually 'liked' by the recipient, it's hardly racist.

Did you read the latter half of my post?

It’s not about being a better person, it’s just about being a decent person that’s educated on the connotations that come with black caricatures. Like I said it’s either uneducated or racist, I don’t know him personally.

It certainly is about being a better person as far as I'm concerned. I'm not going to let the opportunity for taking third party proxy offence pass me by. I get off on this sort of thing, and anyone who doesn't agree with me is racist.

It's neither, it seems you have to be upset and offended by everything these days otherwise you must be uneducated and racist as well (surely they go together)

Except Bernardo posted it on twitter to millions of people, including many black people who don’t know him as well as mendy to know if it was a joke.

What a fucking shame, whey want to grow up and take that chip of their shoulder

It comes across as a cultural issue.

Our country "being woke" are finding offence in something that isn't there.

If you think it’s about being a better person then that’s your opinion. You don’t have to be personally offended to think something is wrong. The people who are offended by what he posted weren’t offended by anything else he’d posted until that and I don’t think your racist for having a different opinion.

I don't agree with you but I don't want others to think I am a racist so I have decided it is best if I do indeed agree with you but I retain the right to change my mind if someone else says it isn't racist to think the tweet is alright. Oh and some will say I should have put a full stop in that sentence but I didn't because I believe a black dot has racist overtones.

Racist.

People wouldn’t have things to be upset or offended by if others didn’t post silly things. I’m not either of those things I just didn’t think it was right.
