Ronaldo Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Pretty sickening how people are acting like it's a total non-issue. Shades of Suarez/RAWK and Saylor's not a brilliant footballer either WHAT? There's no racism, man, Taylor's just stupid enough to post something which could be construed as slightly racially insensitive on Twitter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Aye, I've seen the picture. Seems pretty harmless to me. It is and i think it's nothing to worry about imo but in this climate, the PC brigade go mental. That shit has been allowed to run riot in the last few years. Over sensitive self appointed policemen. Shame but that's the reality of the today. Fuck off man bimpy I seriously doubt there was any malice on Taylor's part but I wouldn't say "oh, it's nothing to worry about". Okay, it was probably a private joke but on a public forum, without any context it is simply Steven Taylor taking the piss out of black people. And some of our fans were fucking patting him on the back with their inane "omg Stevie #lad epic #banter" type responses, which does nowt for our reputation either. He really needs to engage his brain (if he has one). Erm that's what i said like. I think it's nothing to worry about. But you simply cant do that these days because of over reactions to things like that. Your right it has to be in context. I played for a football team that was over 50% Zimbabwean, we turned up for a game on a very hot day and our kit clashed with the oppos. One of our team said we could play skins. I said we cant as we would be in different kits.......just a joke but you could imagine someone nowadays saying it was racist.......unfortunately while it's obviously right to stop racism, it has gone too far the other way. I disagree. People still get racially abused, people still get beaten up and even killed because of their skin colour. You said it's nowt to worry about because people are too PC, I'm saying the complete opposite. It is something to worry about and being an absolute dolt is nee excuse. People who get annoyed at things being PC aren't understanding the positive aspects of not bringing up race at all. If it doesn't matter, don't mention it. I don't go on all the time about how my gay friends love to suck cock, it's just not appropriate. It wouldn't be offensive, there's just no need. How's about black cock?

Mr. Snrub Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Steven Taylor is set to be fined by Newcastle United after posting a desperately ill-judged joke picture on Twitter apparently mocking four black team-mates. Taylor was quick to apologise for his response to a message from Massadio Haidara, who teased him about his attempts to learn French, and is understood to feel remorseful about a tweet taken in good humour by his black colleagues Papiss Cisse, Vurnon Anita, Moussa Sissoko and Haidara but which can clearly be construed as crudely racist. Retorting to Haidara's dismissal of his linguistic skills, the centre half wrote: "It's always good to see you guys smiling" and attached a picture depicting stereotypical black faces, presumably meant to resemble Haidara, Anita, Sissoko and Cisse. One had afro hair, another dreadlocks, a third was wearing a black mask while displaying bright white teeth and the other was apparently dressed in African tribal clothes. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Deary me That boy is an utter fool. I have no idea why he thought it would be good to put that in the public domain, although, judging by some of his other tweets, this isn't really surprising.

Wullie Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Be funny if he had just Googled "black lad with dreadlocks" and a picture of Anita had come up, so Taylor thought "canny likeness that mind, that's more or less exactly what Vurn would look like if he did have dreadlocks" and went with it.

healthyaddiction Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I don't understand the "banter between friends" thing. What is the joke then? I'm sure it is banter, and i'm sure Taylor isn't an actually racist person, but the only joke I see, friendly or not, is a racist joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haidara says on Twitter that it was banter If the black players in our team banter about with Taylor regarding skin colour then that's fair enough BUT Taylor was stupid for posting it in the public domain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
