Racist in the N&P

Recommended Posts

At the Chelsea game Wednesday a friend in the N&P said that after Mikel went down injured a city fan apparently shouted "go back to the jungle". What disgusts me most about this incident is that no one said anything to him other than one person saying it was a stupid comment. It''s fu(king disgusting that people, especially Norwich fans just turned a blind eye to this sickening display. Really pi$$es me off

Don''t know why you sound surprised this is a Norwich mentality unfortunately. Guess it''s the fact we have a large white population and haven''t been integrated with people who are black and therefore we don''t understand that whatever our colour we should be treated equally.

Yeah? And what would you have us fans do? Put the idiot in the stocks? Erect a gibbet?

There is no excuse for wanton abuse. That said, I don''t believe that the slightest whiff of the ''R'' word should instigate a witch hunt.

What an absolute pile of Cr*p.Norwich is one of the most tolerant places in the UK. Look what happened when the EDL meatheads tried to march here.Do tell me more about the "Norwich mentality" as it doesn''t seem to make the news too much. Frankly a miss-informed sweeping statement like that to berate people who are stupid enough to judge people using miss-informed sweeping statements, should tell me all I need to know about you.

Maybe he was referring to the "Jungle" that Axl Rose was singing about on all white cock-rockers Guns ''n'' Roses''s debut album "Appetite for Destruction", i.e. the urban jungle?

Agree totally!!! Tarring everyone with the same brush is equally as bad as racism!

This is PC going mad can anybody honestly say they haven''t said/shouted something that they later regretted. weather it be against a ginger haired, bald, fat or black player it isn''t right and it isn''t clever but it is almost certainly done in the passion of battle.

sorry great Drinkell can not agree with that, there is no place for a racist comment like that and the passion of battle is no excuse

Its not being PC but showing respect for another person

"it is almost certainly done in the passion of battle"

How is a football game ''the passion of battle''?

There is no excuse for intolerance.

As for BW, well, I''m afraid he just displayed even more of his childlike qualities. Take a look at the latest census results and you will see there is large population of (tolerated) minorities in the city.

Norwich has one of the lowest black populations in the country so it''s hardly any wonder IMO that it appears more tolerant.

Well, you can bet you wouldn''t be tolerant if you had over 50% of your community black.  It''s easy when it''s under 1%.

True, but don''t think I''d have bit me tongue had I seen something like this. Dreadful.

Anyway back to this Racialist bloke in the N&P, did anyone see or hear  him today, can we have a description of him so we know who to look for, I''m guessing fat, tattooed, balding and in his mid forties but we don''t want to start stereotyping here do we?[:|]

The World would be a far better place if just a few more of us stood up and said "That''s wrong!" at the time rather than after the fact from the comfort of home......   If this thread is to have any credibility I must assume that it was the aforementioned OP''s friend who interluded at the time, if not just another example of comfortable controlled outrage of the kind we''re seeing daily in the Jimmy Savile exposure from the "I''m not actually at all surprised, we''d heard the rumours for years" brigade.

So this thread had commenced based on a maybe, could have been or then again nothing happened at all.

The usual do gooders then crawl out of the woodwork spouting off. I suppose it makes them feel good.

Ginger bald and fat abuse is at level one of the abuse scale where as racist abuse is a completely degree of magnitude, if you are casually linking them all together then you should perhaps reconsider!

If this is true the offender should have been reported and banned from the ground!

 

1980''s bulls*it drivel shouldn''t be tolerated nowadays!
