Too much racism on this forum

The bulk of comments that could be construed as racist are made in jest - I'm not laughing mind.
 
The mods on this board do more against racism than any other football board that i know off. We cannot however keep everyone happy as whats seen as racist remarks in one country is different in another country. So, unless you provide specific links to back up your allegations, stop whining.

Out of interest gb, would you have banned/ghosted/suspended a poster, if he'd posted a picture of Christian Karembeu and described him as a 'yardie' ?

He is a full blooded transfer loon.... He relentlessly spams the transfer forum and hardly types more than four words at a stretch in the other forums ... contributes feck all . You mods shouldn't have let him out of newbies.

possibly not, id have to see the whole thread for a context

is yardie not more of a gangster term though?

actually it aint, it just means you come from 'yard' I.e, Jamaica... If someone says all Jamaicans are gangstas I'm going to get mad...

FFS gb the originator of this thread is a WUM or more accurately a prat er and I hope this word is not construed as racist

That would be racist.
 
so lets see the purported racism...just to satisfy this burgeoning curiosity of mine.

Well yeah it is, but in the context i'd described, it's clearly used in a racial manner...

Just suspended someone for a week over on the other side for doing that, and i was wondering how you'd have dealt with it here.

It may mean that, but in this day and age, it's used to refer to jamaican gangsters.

Triads, Mafia, Yardies etc....
 
the guy above said its not racist.. so i prob wouldnt have canned him for it. Its not a term ive heard used to be honest so im not 100% sure, it would probably depend on whether i thought the person was trying to goad another poster along racial lines

by you maybe... but then you know feck all as I established about a year ago. Like I said... your using the word out of context and if you actually asked someone what it meant you would know this already. FFS

By me and most...

I'm going by the most commonly used context, not your mastermind 'correct' version...

Derogitory words often dont actually literally mean what they're used to mean, but that doesnt stop them being derogitory.

Feck off.

The poster in question had a history of being a twat.
 
Was just about to send this PM to DJS and edit my post
I'm not getting on your case. I saw the point you were putting across and fair enough, but what you said is not true. Any Jamaican will tell you that and as we coined the term I think we should define it. Am I wrong?
Anyways, no hard feelings...
Maybe not.... fact is DJS is being a twat and KK (who is possibly his missus) will jump in and defend him now :confused:

Bit of a harsh summary afro.

I'm not disputing the actual meaning, you seem to more more about it than me.

All i was saying was that, to most people, (certainly those i come across), it's considered to be a term for a jamaican gangster. Rightly or wrongly, that IS what most people usually understand it to mean.

That's all i was saying.

Feck off ;)

(No hard feelings).

I happen to think posters history is the critical criteria when judging such issues...

:lol: I'm trying to be civilised here fella, i dont have any problem with you.

Even though you harshly referred to me as a twat :(
:D
