Evra accuses Suarez of racism

[JHP]

I've tweeted this to a half a dozen Jornos ... suggest you all do the same

Would be better to send after Mostar does his work and changes the number to 4. But maybe that's being childish.

We discussed all this tonight on the new LFC KopCast http://lfckopcast.com/2012/01/episod...st-9-jan-2012/

With what point attached to it?

I genuinely dont know.

[Nicey]

Why?

Well I suppose if we have all decided to move on then close this thread and lets be done with it, if not then we need to educate people on the ways of the big wide world

But what point is the picture, or the sending of it to journos, actually making?

[Nicey]

The point is that, in that language holds no racist connotations what so ever ... but hey ho I am like a ****ing broken record now. I susspect nobody really has grasped this everybody is still looking at this from a uk mentality and ****ing good riddance I have wasted too much of my energy on this ignorance already

Yeah, none of us can quite grasp the linguistic naunaces involved here. That's why we've been banging on about about it.

What difference is a picture of a kid with 'El Nego' on his shirt going to make, when a picture of the Argentina team, holding up a flag bearing the words 'Fuerza Nego' had no impact?

The journos have an agenda, do you think they're going to give a **** about (much less report on) something that negates the impact of their witch hunt?

Is the point from that picture not that Hernandez is quite possibly known as El Negro in the States?

Yeah and we've already seen evidence that the Argentina team paid tribute to Caceres by calling him 'negro' - and that didnt make any difference to any journos or the case, either.

Hernandez plays for manu and acually was one Evra's so called witnesses. And I agree with you. It probably wont make any difference, although as I said above Jim Boardman obviously saw something of interest in it.

[Craig_H]

I think Jim, like most of us, is desperate to cling onto anything that might ideally redress the balance, no matter how much we know the damage has been done and none of the hypocrite cunts are seeking to redress anything.

Whilst I agree with your sentiments I get the vibe that people truly dont understand just how much of a fit up this has been, its ignorance in the extreme, I told one of my mates from Africa who has mixed raced kids and he was all over it like rice on white, in a negative way, the mere mention of the the world Negro or words sounding like it to an native english speaker and you really are swimming up stream to convince them its anything other than mildly offensive at best. I still think people have no grasped that a its a different word and b its about as racist as a pint of milk

I think it didn't help that the media had already made it's mind up and maybe if they figured the whole thing out, they couldn't really change their mind. The Fanning article was quite good, pointing out that he is effectively banned for the use of the word "black". I don't think it's a case of complicated linguistic nuisance either, just of a proper translation, at least in the media.
