Yeah a status update on Facebook is extremely private, especially when you have thousands of "friends" who are on your account due to your involvement in a sport.
My view is that all racists are ****s just like you're friends views are racist. Thats my view. You can compare hate on travellers and sexuality to racism but the other suggestions on that list is laughable, so we'll agree to disagree.
racism is wrong though ......unless its funny then its ok .......but tommy looks like he meant it thus hes a ****
None are comparable. If you genuinely hate someone because of their skin colour, then you're a *****. Now I know some slightly racist lads who are alright and more ignorant, bought into the whole Muslims are all dangerous thing. But a bonafide bigot who would not employ someone if they could get away with, who hates people due to their race is a ****. Saying they have other qualities does not negate a core trait that is vile and illogical. Hitler might have made a great Dad. Mafia members sometimes treat their families brilliantly and then kill people in cold blood. Yes people are complex and I wouldn't write someone off because they don't like Islam or say something ignorant like "pa*i shop" but if someone is a full on racist then their other qualities cannot remove the fact that they are an unpleasant human being.
To me rascisim = ignorance.. I've been raised around it, with me looking fully white I hear some disgusting things but I've always just put it down to pure ignorance, I'm not offended by it nor does it bother me, I just pity the ignorant fools
You're right to an extent mate, but there is a line when it is worth people being offended. Let's say a woman and her kid are walking down the street and someone spits at them and hurls abuse. If someone gets jumped and beaten up because of their skin colour whether that's an Asian lad being jumped by some BNP type pricks or a white lad being jumped by some Asian lads or whatever... It goes beyond ignorance.
I know hes on a windup trying to **** off the ****s in the forum, but i suppose it still might be a bit offense to posters who arent ****s
i just can't get over how a topic which was abit of fun has turned into a full blown racial argument. no need really.
