Yes but its not persecution or racist.
Of course it's persecution, if it was done to others it wouldn't be, not that difficult to understand.

Now that is just not true.I ain't subscribing to this "he brings it upon himself" newspaper and media spin. He shouldn't even be in the spotlight for everything he does, nevermind pieces of news like this being used to justify the nations thoughts about him.
This news "reporting" was really that a keeper showed him the same sort of anger that those Chelsea supporters did, but then also the reason that sterling caused it.
It has an alternate narrative to just "sterling missed" its part of the whole bullying thing.
Whether it's because he is black or just because he is sterling I don't really care, it's bullying and it's a city player, he doesn't bring it upon himself

Because that incident is rare as rocking horse shit. I can’t remember anything like that happening. Penalty misses, sure, even through cockiness but the reaction of the keeper and player contrasting in one photo? I can’t remember that. He’s high profile too, as high as it gets. Mix all that together and you have the money shot, much more than zinchenkos left foot hitting the ball.Why do they normally use these things then?

If it's done to one individual and not others then that individual is being persecuted, simple really.

hostility and ill-treatment, especially because of race or political or religious beliefs; oppression.
My belief is that he starting getting this bad press when he left Liverpool, nothing to do with his race or religion.

Tell me then why I saw a portrayal of him before he signed for City as a hippy crack smoking, teenage father of multiple kids that was violent against women?
There's no doubt whatsoever that the transfer saga made it open season on him, but the portrayal existed in some quarters before the move.

I don't read scumbag press, which I presume were reporting what you have said, so I will take your word for it. So, genuine question, why Sterling and not other black players?Tell me then why I saw a portrayal of him before he signed for City as a hippy crack smoking, teenage father of multiple kids that was violent against women?

I got into this discussion with you because I believe a very good picture is just that and was not printed because the editor is racist. I don't know the ed. and I presume you don't either so it is just my opinion.
