All I see all over the news and social media are two stories regarding Patrice Evra. Stories commending him on talking about racism and then on a completely different vein his comment about arsenal being "his babies"
Now I'm sure these comments are a source of much mirth and amusement for opposition fans all around but let's dig a bit deeper into what's happening here
How hypocritical is it for him to speak about respect and not wanting to be insulted but then goes on to show the ultimate disrespect to arsenal fans, managers and players many of whom would have played in the national team.
Using lazy tired arguments about arsenal every time we lose a game is poor punditry at best but to try to insult and embarrass the club takes it to another level. If he now gets some twitter idiot posting insults to him he will go crying to the media yet again and expect sympathy
You have no place crying about racism of you choose to insult other teams in this way. No other pundits do it so why is it acceptable for him to do it.
Evra - Wants respect but doesn't give it

It's just a poor analogy mate, disrespect and racism aren't the same thing
And just because Evra is a cretinous lunatic doesn't mean he can't correctly call out racism

The reaction from posters to this article is interesting :in your attempts to be the hero and attack me for my opinion all you have ended up doing is inadvertently playing the classic patronising "I'm white therefore I know what racism is and I'll teach you" *pats ethnic minority on the head*. When most of you have never experienced racism in your ignorant privileged lives how dare you try to preach to me?"

Why have you assumed everyone here is white? Im not and I also think this article is complete and utter horseshīt. The only reason you have brought any of it up is because you were upset he insulted Arsenal.
It is bollox. Stop digging and accept it.

Probably the worst article I’ve ever read.
............
It is certainly up there with the worst.
The idiot even posted it on the Arsenal board for his fellow fans to see.

An absolute shambolic of an article
The OP deserves to banned for his insinuations as they could be seen as being of racist undertones, if it actually didn't reek of ignorance of large proportions.
For some people like OP, ignorance is biss
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The irony of this postignorance?
I'm black so am I being racist to myself?
I'm not condoning racism, myself and my family have been the victim of unwarranted attacks so stop your virtue signalling. This is a message that people should practice what they preach and all should people should treat others with respect at all times. If you do not offer respect then do not expect respect from others. Pretty simple concept.

You are a moron. No matter what your skin colour is, that will not change.

Thanks for explaining what racism is master. im so glad you were here to be my white saviour
I'm afraid you have missed the entire point of my article. Let me come from another angle. If someone like evra is associated with anti racism then how much credibility do you think it gives the cause if in the next breath he is unnecessarily abusing and insulting others to get a laugh. Do you not think people may see that and think of hypocrisy. Anti racism campaigns are constantly being accused of hypocrisy, this is more fuel to the fire.
The way most of you have jumped straight into the virtue signalling rather than looking at the facts of what I am saying is mind blowing and worrying. Representative of the PC society we live in where no one can speak honestly about subjects without an ism being bandied about. Perhaps I should have said I was black straight away and I might have had a better response but that in itself is more racist to me than whatever you thought I was insinuating
Rant over

Your article is a load of utter sh!te that doesn't have any points.
The fact that you keep trying to defend it just adds to the stupidity level that you keep raising by each comment.
Go outside and take you head for a wobble, bang it on a wall, come back inside and start again this time trying not to confuse racism with calling people babies.

Jeez you're an idiot
And I'm black before ya go there. For the record, the players Evra is referring to, got called babies by damn near the entire football world. The Wenger Babies was a term coined post invincibles. Because the team WERE a bunch of babies. So he wasn't even being that disrespectful really. Unless you consider the truth 'disrespectful.'
Snide disrespect at most but I'd call it a bantz poke myself. He's not cracking on anything "out of bounds" there. He's also nowhere near the league of nasty that racism is. Sport is better with bantz and rivalry. Racism is an entirely different kettle of fish.
With what YOU are saying, you are unwittingly undermining the message about how foul racism is. It is rightly set aside in it's own more severe category of insult. Something black people and other minorities have had to fight long and hard to achieve...
SO DON'T YOU DARE sit there spouting crap, insulting white people with more understanding of that fact than you!! When the heroes/people of the black civil rights movement got thier asses whooped, bitten by dogs and shot. It WASN'T for young black people now to be saying racism is no different to other forms of insult/disrespect. Now stop embarrassing black people.
