Because the second he used race every cunt on the planet would pounce on it to exploit it for a tonne of reasons. It wasnāt a great choice of words because we live in a world where you canāt speak truthfully .

You are the dictionary definition of a virtue signaller.
One of the reasons being its unnecessary and outdated
You canāt expect things to change by repeating the same old behaviours.
The important piece here is Demba Ba took big offence to the tone or context.
That should be enough
Heāll be destroyed now because of this by people who want to maintain the status quo
Fucking thick fucking Romanian racist cunts.

Some shite here by the edgy lads. Soccerball players pause at the start of every game to recognise and respect the BLM and Anti Racism movement. A match official at a game like this singling a player out and identifying him by his skin colour is one of the most stupid things Iāve ever seen someone do in public.
It doesnāt matter if the actual words are racist or not, but I donāt expect the edgy lads to understand that.

I donāt think calling a black person black will ever be outdated but Iām a bit odd like that.

Would you refer to a chinese person as the fella with the narrow eyes?
Demba Ba found the tone or context offensive and youāre trying to deny him his offense because why?
And the fake flu
Iād have no reason to, id just say the yellow fella.
So you donāt think Demba Ba should get offended?
Of course not, he must wait for whitey to tell him when to be offended.

Just on this point, I donāt know the tone or how it was said. It could well have came across as a racist remark (and it certainly pissed Demba Ba off). I donāt think him, nor his teammates would have reacted if it was an innocuous remark.
Iām just making the general point that describing someone as āblackā (which is what the original tweet said) is not, in my opinion, racist.
Ok mate, youāve said this about 14 times.
Youāre implying that I am a racist and Iāve a real problem with that
As for your editā¦ Demba is entitled to get upset by it, Iām not denying him that. None of us were there ā¦ But the linesman is also owed some benefit of doubt is he not? Or is he completely written off as guilty now?
If I think something is racist Iāll call it out and donāt need to hide behind virtue signalling like some lads here. I got a grand headtbutt one night for standing up to three guys in Limerick doling out racist abuse they claimed was just banter towards staff in a chipperā¦Iām not looking for a medal, tho it would be nice. But I call it as I see it.
He used your manās race to identify himā¦ I donāt see a lot wrong with it. It happens in every country on the planet.

Solution to this is to put numbers on the backs of different colour jerseys.

Sure youāve no problem with @myboyblue racist posts towards travellers posted on here on a weekly basis so you canāt say much.
The allies will be triggered to the core by a real world example of action like that.
Iām sure thereās a good long list of reports from yourself to highlight that?
