General euro 2012 racism

[koolkat]

well it looks like racism has raised its ugly head again in the worlds most popular sport. who got up to watch spain and italy i got up with my two boys to watch it because they are mad about football. every time beroteli touched the ball who is black..you heared a chorus of monkey hoots and gestures towards him.it was horrible then midway trough the first half beroteli got the ball ran down the left and lost the ball then they put his face on the big screen and a chant of el mono sucio el mono sucio el mono feo el mono feo..started around the stadium.with my limited spanish i picked up on my o/e translated is dirty monkey or ape.but what got me was it just wasint the spanish fans chanting it was his own supporters joining in thinking it was a big joke..

i know theres closet racsits in nz behind closed doors posting there venom racist views sat behind they computers...but this is out there plain as the nose on sef blatters face its time UEFA started bannig teams from major tourments like they did with english clubs through the 80s you hardley here any trouble at english grounds because they know the emplacations life bans from every ground in europe this has to stop i can see teams walking off the field if this shit keeps happening..then lets hope UEFA gets the message.i know england france and holland will make a stand.i know the english fa has told there players in a statement if they walk off the field because of racsial abuse they have their full support well done england last word goes to my 8 yearold son there is only one race thats the human race...

Good on your lad for pointing out the Truth of people.

People are stupid.

Which is why despite all of our great achievements , we are forever on the brink of extinction as a species.

Say what?

Well in terms of the age of the Earth one could make a case that we're forever of the brink of extinction, there's been what five mass extinctions in the last few hundred million years? I think that's a different argument that Sup42 was alluding to however.

Well exogenous extinction events arent the result of human stupidity as Sup42 put it. Even nuclear war wouldnt wipe out the human race. Civilisation perhaps, but some would survive.

I think one could even argue that inherent racism could help prolong a civilisation - when smaller, isolated communities flourishing in a post-apocalyptic scenario.

even back when we were neandathols we were biggots and zenophobs.and then with 20,000 years of evoloutioion nothing as changed.

i was reading mozs post on satarday when he went to shark park to watch the boys play. the team got heckeled are fans got heckeled by a pack of rascist " zenophobic " scum!! i know we can handle the odd sheep shagger joke (all game)but when you get race and venom hatetred throwen at you a line as been crossed.

but all we can do is tell are kids that we are equalls and are common enemy are the racists and those put out there who want too harm us. my wife was born in south africa.she is a cape coloured which is mixed parentage she only had a few years of apparite.but can only imagine what her parents went through we pass on too are children there strength ideals and courage..that they went through for us

 

[Sup42]

We rely on very finely balanced systems ....the very systems we have the ability to manipulate.

Are we socially smart enough to understand and collectively protect these same variables ?

Or are we inclined to turn on one another and invent weapons of mass destruction , quibble over global climate change.

We've only been around for a couple of hundred thousand years, compared to other species we are still very much in the Evolutionary experimental stage.

Racism is not an evolutionary strength for social organisms that have the ability to develop ways to wipe each other out.

Interesting to note that you have a Pacman avatar, OP. A bit rich for someone to bemoan the social ills of racism while celebrating an odious, homophobic, bigoted midget in Manny.

Kissinger won a Nobel Peace Prize, so did Barry The Bomber. Not the best of company.

Anyway, the point is it's laughable for you to get so heated over racism, while seemingly supporting a homophobic bigot. I guess bashing people for their sexuality is greatly different than bashing someone for their ethnicity?

The funniest one was Obummer - got the Nobel Peace Prize before he even became President after a few flowery speeches. Then went on to continue the exact same military policies of his predecessor, who happened to be universally hated.

And Kissinger is the definition of an arch-Machiavellian. Smart, but by no means a peacemaker.

That's right, get a fresh black face in so people can enjoy the war mongering without feeling guilty lol

Was the bigger threat from Osama or from Obama?
Military bases from Chagos to Okinawa
I say things that other rappers won't say
Cause my mind never closed like Guantanamo Bay
Hope you didn't build a statue or tattoo your arm
Cause the drones are still flying over Pashtunistan
Did he defend the war? No! He extended more
He even had the time to attempt a coup in Ecuador
Morales and Chavez, the state's are on a hunt for ya
Military now stationed on bases in Columbia
Take a trip to the past and tell em I was right
Ask Ali Abunimah or Jeremiah Wright
Drones over Pakistan, Yemen and Libya
Is Obama the bomber getting ready for Syria?
First black president, the masses were hungry
But the same president just bombed an african country like *explosion*

Catchy hook.

 

[HD]

What's frightening is that State side Obama seems to be perceived by many as a soft touch where foreign policy is concerned, the Republic*nts are baying for a bit more blood. Hopefully The Bomber keeps Romney out.

I was referring to Barack Obama. All I'm saying is it's a bit rich for you to put forward your absolute outrage at the prevalence of racism in 2012, to preach tolerance, all the while supporting a homophobic religious wing nut. It'd be something like me having an avatar are of a neo-nazi boxer while complaining about those bigoted homophobes who are ruining society. You can't see how that's hilarious?

Pacman is no better than a racist, really. Both are neanderthals.

I don't really get your comment about Time, either. I can't remember ever saying to anybody that being on the cover of Time magazine meant anything, can't remember using it to defend anybody.
