Meenzer 15348 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 An act can be racist without the perpetrator himself being a racist. That's pretty obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16995 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Even less thought went into this than what he employs when he's playing....and that's saying something... Fair play to Haidara for not acting the victim, I expect parts of the media to do that for him, will save him the effort in the long run....

My head has been spinning around for 5 minutes trying to think of a situation where this could be the case. Its still spinning round now. My point being that Taylor did not say anything racist.

JaMoUsE 0 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I don't understand today's society, he's having a laugh with friends who have not taken offence, now hes charged by the FA on behalf of the average joe who have created hysteria on behalf of people who weren't offended anyway. Anyone who suggests that somebody else was offended by his tweet is full of bullshit really. So many people saying it was stupid etc but why is it stupid? because some people in todays society have decided that this kind of thing is racist? When really its not and no1 is actually offended by it. What a load of utter codswallop, im calling reginald d hunter immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30167 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I believe that the offensive implication was that all black people look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Stupid? Yes. Racist? No. Does my head in how quick people scream "racist". What would make this racist is if the people in the picture were offended by it in a way that it was all about the colour of their skin (being dark) and their pearly whites. Its highlighting their skin colour but hardly offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaMoUsE 0 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The picture in question was 4 people, top left had an afro (haidara i assume) top right was a beasty bald black man (sissoko?) Bottom left was th spit of cisse then other was actually anita. I can only assume that having lookalikes when u are black is deemed racist not by the black people themselves, but by people who think its offensive to have a black person look like them and are actually probably the racist ones themselves.

Brock Manson 0 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 'Racist' is far too ambiguous a term these days. I'm sure most of those 'offended' by the tweet don't know what racism is. The photo's definitely in poor taste and not funny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
