“Gracias negrito” which according to my yoga pant wearing Uruguayan milf neighbour translates to “thank you sweetheart”

Pics?

The sad thing about this saga is reflected in the BT sports interviews from the pundits.....some will have different views as have some posters on here......but they are too scared of having a proper debate about it for fear of being accused of racism and then that’s the end of their television career.

Racism of any kind is abhorrent......howeverwe live in a supposedly democratic society and having an opposing opinion (John Barnes has summed it up perfectly) and not agreeing with the popular view does not automatically make someone a racist.

I must admit that i was surprised when i heard that a fourth official had been accused as being racial against a member of the Basaksehir coaching staff. When i heard what he had been accused of i thought "really".
I am all for getting rid of racism not just in football but in every walk of life however i'm asking are some people going overboard in their judgment of what is racist.
From what i saw the fourth official was asked to point out Pierre Webo, referring him as a black man.
Is describing a person for identification purposes black or white racist?
If the Police asked me to identify someone would it be racist tell them the colour of their skin?

John Barnes has just been having this out on Twitter.



However, I'm still reluctant to take Barnes' opinion as a basis for dismissing the entire complaint. This isn't a case of some Twitter warrior getting upset on behalf of someone else, it's clear that Demba Ba found it offensive, so it would be interesting to hear from him what he felt was offensive about it (although to be fair, we heard it on the pitch, so I don't know whether he has anything to add now there's been some time to think). But of course it was a situation where a teammate has just been sent off, so obviously a situation where emotions are running high. I'd be interested to know if John Barnes thinks that Demba Ba is legitimate in expressing his opposition, or whether he thinks he is cynically using race to punish an official who made a decision against his colleague.

I take it the thread has been cleaned up to stay on topic, which find a shame, I found it a fascinating reading each others opinions on race/racism & I genuinely think some people were on a learning curve. The only way to change things is to discuss & hear each others opinions :)
