Better take 50 cent to court because he says a racial term in his songs? Same sort of thing, he's black so he's allowed to say it? Well Suarez is sort of black as well so surely in the same way that 50 cent is allowed to say racial terms he could also?
They need to modernise the racist meaning to be honest.

The FA said he wasn't a racist. Evra said he wasn't a racist.

Didn't they say they don't think he is racist, not they don't think what he said was racist?

I now understand why highest percentage of offenders in HMP are Scousers

Fine piece of discrimination there, based on nothing other than a dislike for an opposing football club.

I was hoping someone would pick up on that...in my family its a compliment..no offence meant

With the translation he was just calling Evra black so is that really racist? In Spain/Portugal/South America it wouldn't be touched with a racism row?

If he had said the more commonly known racist term then yes fair enough because it is what it is.

The word should of been looked at in the language it is not what the word looks and could sound like in the English term.

I'm against racism but sometimes it gets ridiculous.

I doubt there is a person presently posting on this subject, that has ever gone out of their way, to ever stand up against racial discrimination in this country.
Its nothing other than point scoring based on club allegiances.
Phony morality of this type is far worse than anything either John Terry, or Luis Suarez has been found guilty of.

If he was really racist the police would of got involved like the Terry case. The fact is the police can't do anything about it because he said something that only means black in his native tongue.
Would someone black think I was racist if I just shouted "black" at him? No.

he is not a racist..we all know that

But would shouting the word black at someone be a racial slur? Obviously not.

One of the weirdest things I've ever read on 606. And that's saying something.

Mata - I'm not a Liverpool fan. Negro isn't an offensive word in this country!
