I love reminding them of where they belong :auba:
LOL very true. Youāre there for the pies and pints. Not bringing your own fruit
How stupid are you, especially when you have a bunch of black doods on ur own team.

Youād also be a bit of a cunt for bringing a packed lunch to the football.

tbh spuddies dont need a packed lunch to look a bunch of cunts
A banana skin has been an object of racial abuse in football for fucking ages. If heād thrown an apple it might be a different story.

Do you interpret in movies, when they burn a cross on a black personās lawn, as it been an expression of āweāre sad Jesus died and we hate crosses because of itā? Rather than racism

No I donāt. If you want to add to the debate, fine. If you want to resort to bullshit sarcasm, direct your replies elsewhere.
Thanks
No
Thatās fine. Iāll just use your replies to amuse me
In all seriousness as @Dr_Strangepass pointed out bananas have been thrown at black people to imply theyāre apes/monkeys for a long time. Thereās famous pictures of John Barnes back heeling away a banana thrown at him and of Ian Wright simply eating it. Iām assuming youāre simply aware of all of that

Yeah itās very clear to see the intention behind it. Youād have to be ignorant beyond belief to throw a banana at a black player and not understand the racial connotation behind it.

Would it have killed you to reply like that in the first place?
But, yeah, as I was saying to that other guy, I just canāt see how this would have been a premeditated act.
Innocent until proven guilty. If heās just chucked a banana skin out of anger then heās an idiot and itās dangerous. Letās wait and hear the full story before we say itās racism
So basically if the bloke says it wasnāt racist, youāre gonna believe him.
Any racist cunt throwing a banana could just say they arenāt racist and thatās good enough for you? Or notā¦ Because I donāt understand what you mean by hearing the full story.
Nobody in football has ever innocently thrown a banana at a black footballer. Nobody in any walk of life throws a banana or banana peel at someone else, itās just not something someone does, apart from in literally one context.
So we return to my initial comment that you took issue with. A person throwing a banana at a black person at a football match is either a racist (and itās basically 99% of the time this) or they are some sort of special breed of fucking idiot. Racist or idiot. Those are the two options.

Itās not very dangerous but it is almost certainly is racist. Iām not sure you want that proving. Itās based on social context and the odds of it not being the case. The fella who threw the banana skin will get a conviction for a racial crime off the back of it. Itās open and shut case unless he can pretend it wasnāt him who threw it.
We donāt know it was a racist act yet. We donāt know what happened thereafter. We donāt know if the fan was white, black, asian or from another ethnic category.
It may well have been a racially aggravated act. In which case shame on him/her. It may have been racism and anger. Or it may have just been anger alone. Everyone knows what fans can chuck in anger (I neednāt remind you that I witnessed our lot in person shove a photographer and chuck a stool at Adebayor in anger at the Etihad)
This seems to suggest only white people can be racist lol. Asian or any other ethnic category can still be racist towards black people.
But if a black person threw that banana Iāll donate twenty quid to a charity of your choice

I wouldnāt suggest that white people and white people alone can be racist. I know that at a personal level.
If, however, itās proven that a black fan threw that banana then the likelihood of it being a racially motivated āthrowā is less likely.
