Yes, I'm referring to the Rooney incident.

You stated before that the 'racist' incident is worse and now you are saying Rooney's is worse. Every time.

Why did you change your mind?

I'm not twisting and wriggling. You're the one who has changed your answer

No, i never said racism is acceptable. I said i would choose my audience wisely.

I thought you based your argument on Suarez did not verbally abuse Evra?
---------------------------
If you read sections 128-131 of the FA report it clearly states that the complaint that Evra and Ferguson made to the ref was that Suarez had called Evra a nig***. We know that he was wrong about this but the complaint was made that Suarez racially abused him.

...and presumably if 'the coast was clear' you would then have no problem with telling a racist joke.

Your response infers this. If you had no intention of being racist why would you even care what the make up of your audience was

O never inferred, you assumed.

Theres no need to make assumptions. You state that you would choose your audience wisely. Why would you need to do that unless you intended to say something contentious?

I said i would, not i have.

Now try not to make something out of nothing

Unlike you.
Have you ever spent any time at all with black people?

"These are the same three links you posted about a month ago!

As I said, the club and its fans have been shown to deal with racist comments in the ground, you even posted evidence to back this up. Thanks"

I never posted any links a month ago but a few days ago I posted some links, these are some more, heck the date on one of them is 29 Dec 2011

I did it to show that all clubs have or have had a racist element and that's all, based on the fact that some on here feel that only LFC have racist fans. I'm pointing out that they are not alone.

You miss the point entirely when you say that the club and fans have dealt with racist chants at the ground because it's not the dealing with it that's the issue - it's the fact that it's still happening today, it's not 'historical' as someone pointed out earlier, it's happening currently and if you think that the club and stewards handling it makes it ok, then you've got your logic skewed - there shouldn't be any need for action on the part of the club because there shouldn't be any racist comments or chants.

Fellaini, you said you would do something in a certain situation. I assumed you were telling the truth. Apologies for the misunderstanding if you weren't

Concerned, I asked a question about the relative severity of 2 offences. You have given 2 conflicting answers but you expect me to know what you really think. If you answer the question again I might get a better idea.

I have some very good black friends, asian friends and friends from many countries. Thanks for asking

From that list if United Nation can I assume you have never told a joke?

I was able to get into all Everton homes games from about 1986-1994 for free as my dad sold programmes inside the ground. There was some great players /teams but to hear Everton fans telling Liverpool how to address racism is just incredible.

I remember going to a game many years later when Kevin Campbell was being abused by the Everton fans for missing a chance ....only to score 10 mins later and then the fans sing Super , Super Kev, Super, Super Kev, Super, Super Kev, Super Kevin Campbell....just disgusting

I made a mistake in my posting,to clear things up,my take is racial abuse heard by one man is far worse than swearing heard by a million.

What do your black and asian friends think of you backing a man found to be guilty of racial comments?

posted on 5/1/12

I believe Liverpool are spot on to stand by Suarez but have to admitt te wearing of the TShirts wasn't needed.

You can see in Dalglish's face during his interview last night his is adament Suarez is innocent which is what i think and hope most of my fellow supporters think. I dont think & I hope we dont want defend a racist just because he is our player but because we believe he is innocent.

I am glad its over but the media still seem to be stirring things up

It is far from over.
Football against racism in Europe`s Chief has asked UEFA to charge LFC with disrepute.
This one will run for a bit longer yet.

Concerned, you had a choice of 2 options and you chose the wrong one - by mistake!! You even emphasised the wrong answer by saying 'Every time'. Is that a serious answer?

Fellaini, I've told loads of jokes. Do you tell Irish jokes?

posted on 5/1/12

As you wish.
And the thoughts of your black and asian friends to your defense of a racist are.......

My friends know I am not racist and they are generally amazed that we brits can be so uptight

Why is offending one person so much more important than offending several million?

posted on 5/1/12

Your black and asian friends will answer that for you.
As you seem oblivious to it.

They don't think it is? You're the one who thinks it is so I'm hoping that you can enlighten me
