Gabriel Jesus on fire. WTF.

Moron who thought of this needs sacking.

You said a BLACK man on fire infront of a crowd of WHITE people. You're honestly expecting me to believe you weren't getting at it being racist in some way?

It is a coincidence with no intention to be racist.

Personally, I don't give a monkey's what someone like you thinks.

It's a strange mind that actually comes up with that conclusion.

It's a humourless mind that cannot see the left field humour in it.

I'm outraged.

Ha! Me too

 

[bluetonium]

I try not to get offended on behalf of other people (there are plenty enough in this world already doing that), but something about seeing a city player on fire even in a jokey way just feels wrong, derogatory, to me.

Kind of thing you'd expect on rag cafe, a bad photoshop fuelled by hate and jealousy, not something created by our own and placed on on our own website. Take it down City, it doesn't create a good feeling.

Maybe it's another americanism sneaking in, but it's a compliment. When's someone's on fire it means they're on it, they're hot, not at all derogatory and a bunch of PC bullshit to think otherwise

Why mention it then?!

Maybe you should start caring what somebody like me thinks, you might learn something and wont make a fool of yourself in the future.

It means the same here. It's meant as a compliment.

I would generally associate immolation with disgruntled monk types....

What is the problem?

Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

Strange Fruit?

Strange Fruit?

Indeed.
I'm led to believe that the image in Q, is that of a dark skinned man, in flames, while a predominately white audience whoops and a hollers.
Is this the problem?

I think that picture is a long way from anything, even remotely, related to the KKK

It's a but naff, but it's for children.

Maybe in the deep south, not so much in Manchester.

I agree. Although what fun we'd have had if Liverpool had released a similar image...

 

[york away to this!]

How has this got to six pages. Jesus.

Because it is funny.

I don't care what you think because you're dim.

 

[SWP's back]

I never said it was racist, I said it was 'weird'.

It is you who is 'looking for something that isn't there' with my post.

I think it's pretty obvious what you inferred in your post without having to look for something, namely as you referenced race.
