By the way - that photo is so funny, as the "El Negro" just meets a kid wearing a Scum-Tshirt with a big smile. That is not the way Evra runs around, but he ought to!!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/foo...to-racism.htmlLuis Suarez, Patrice Evra and Kenny Dalglish could get summons to Parliamentary inquiry into racism
Luis Suárez, Patrice Evra and Kenny Dalglish could all be summoned to appear before a Parliamentary inquiry into racism in football later this year.
By Paul Kelso
8:55PM GMT 10 Jan 2012
The inquiry has been called by the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee in response to recent incidents of alleged racism in the game, and following a request from committee member Steve Rotheram, the MP for Liverpool Walton, whose constituency includes Anfield.
The committee will seek evidence from as many figures as possible across the game. It is understood that Suárez and Evra, the players at the heart of the acrimonious dispute between Liverpool and the authorities, will be among those the committee will seek to hear from.
Suárez was banned for eight matches after racially abusing Evra in October. His reaction and that of his club Liverpool to the ban has provoked widespread criticism, as well as a wider debate about racism in football.
England and Chelsea captain John Terry has also been charged with a racially aggravated public order offence after he allegedly used the words “------- black ----“ in an angry exchange with QPR defender Anton Ferdinand. He will appear in court on Feb 1.
The first evidence session will be held on March 6, with former Liverpool player John Barnes also expected to be asked to attend. Parliamentary committees have powers to compel witnesses to appear, and those invited are generally expected to attend.
Rottheram said: “I continue to support the ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ initiative and believe, given the nature of recent events, that it would be appropriate for this issue to be looked at by Parliamentarians from all Parties and from different football/sporting and non-sporting allegiances.
“Sport should be rightly proud that in many ways it has led the field in tackling social issues such as racism, homophobia and sectarianism and it will be interesting to see what conclusions the Select Committee draw.”
Last year, the CMS Committee conducted an inquiry into football governance and produced a report critical of the current structures in the game. Its recommendations are still being considered by the football authorities, who will have to respond by the end of February.

So if someone has a blackberry and BBM, they can now add Patrice Evra with that PIN and abuse him

Roberto Mancini has become the first opposition manager to question Liverpool's handling of the Luis Suárez affair and express concerns about the length of time it took for someone found guilty of racial insults to issue an apology. The Manchester City manager was speaking ahead of the first leg of their Carling Cup tie against a Liverpool side missing Suárez for an eight-match suspension for calling Patrice Evra "negro" during a heated row when Manchester United played at Anfield in October.
Mancini was asked whether Liverpool's manager, Kenny Dalglish, and players had made a mistake by wearing their now infamous T-shirts in support of Suárez, just after the Football Association's independent commission had announced its verdict. He was nodding in agreement as he replied "maybe" and he then voiced his belief that Suárez should have issued an immediate apology.
"Sometimes a situation like this can happen on the pitch but it is important to apologise for what you did. Sometimes, on the pitch, you can do something you don't want to, because you are nervous, because you don't think. Everything can happen because you don't think, because you are tired, because you are stupid, you are young; for many reasons.
"I don't think Suárez is a racist. But I think he made a mistake, probably, yes. Everyone can make a mistake sometimes. It is impossible that we are always perfect and, after that, it is important to say: 'I am sorry, I made a mistake, I apologise for this' and accept the charge."
The City manager went on to draw a parallel with his own playing career in Italy, where football has had a long battle against racism. "I have heard everything said against me and I have said some things – but not important things like racist words."
That rug really tied the room together.
