The Phantom 0 Posted April 7, 2015 Just seen one of the Binners has been convicted of racially abusing Jerome online.Sum''s up that horrible little club right up their with Leeds and Millwall in my opinion.A jail sentence should have been the correct punishment not a fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 43 Posted April 7, 2015 This thread is stupid, every club has it''s problem fans. We''ve had racist incidents this season and last, more than Ipswich, do you wish to apply your flawed logic to Norwich as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daly 551 Posted April 7, 2015 This racist business has gone over the top, when I lived in the USA I got called a limey but never thought to go to the race relations board or any of that crap. Get on with life. Some Americans do not like being called yankee''s but whats the big deal.Unless you are a Guardian reader then you will find something to sue for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well not exactly, but thats the closest I can think of.Hope this helps[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 108 Posted April 7, 2015 Somebody once wrote;-"When you are dead, you don''t know you are dead, it is however difficult for the others, those left behind.It is also the same when you are stupid."We live in a society where racism is unacceptable, time we got our heads round that one.

Carrow89 186 Posted April 7, 2015 I like this bit''Ruth Johnson, for Clements, said the self-employed painter/decorator posted the comment “without engaging his brain”.''she would have done better by reminding the judge that her client '' is from Suffolk'', that can go a long way when trying to explain stupidity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 547 Posted April 7, 2015 Racism is the prejudice based on the superiority of a particular race compared to others and the antagonism or discrimination that follows. The Nazi genocide of European Jewry and other non Arians is a classic example. Whilst skin colour is often cited as racism, the term does not require there to be any significant difference in skin pigmentation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carrow89 186 Posted April 7, 2015 It is the intent behind the words that is the offence, not simply the words themselves.As to Daly he doesn''t appear to have much between his ears so folk shuld be reminded of how much worth there is in trying to engage in any meaningful dialogue with him. None, to be precise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted April 7, 2015 Race relations board? People telling on each other for expressing opinions? Is this East Anglia or East Germany? It''s a slippery slope you''re accepting.

And maybe read up on history a bit more. Perhaps the bits about the Germany of the 1930''s where hatred towards certain groups started at a very low level. The odd ''expressed view'' here and there. Then followed up by acts of intimidation, then violence ..........etcPerhaps you want a soceity where folk can be verbally attacked and intimidated not because they disagree about something, but because of their skin colour or sex. You are in a minority, so why not move to Syria or Iraq where there are plenty who see the world as you do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katie Borkins 1 Posted April 7, 2015 Well, it''s obvious that a human being, from whatever country, is not a sweaty sock. So no, that''s not racist. If you''d said an unemployed tight-fisted, alcoholic, wife beating racist then yes, that would be racist about Scottish people even if it was true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Persecution for calling someone you disagree with a bellend, perhaps.[/quote]Abuse is abuse whatever particular name you attach to it, racism, sexism, bullying, re-writing history, physical etc etc. Abuse of the truth is the worst abuse imo. The falsification of large amounts of history that has existed for a large part of the last hundred years - such as the pulling down of Saddam Hussein''s statue - a supposed glorious uprising faked by the Americans in a symbolic and choreographed event at which there was only a ring of tanks, a few media and thirty or so stooges who were actually placed there for the media, interspersed with footage from elsewhere and fake crowd noise. Mis-representation of all kinds happens everywhere for the purpose of perpetuating a one sided view of things. Message boards are full of it too, abuse, misreprepresentations and power struggles. Don''t believe all you see or read is the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
