does that mean hes guilty?

[destro]

They are saying he has been charged and that is all so far, he has not been found guilty or not guilty but they have charged him. Have to wait and see now

[andy_g]

he pretty much admitted to calling him 'negrito' which is more affectionate than anything in latin culture. the FA will be getting all hoity toity about it and deciding its abusive in our culture. maybe it is, i don't know.

would any of the coloured brethren on here be offended? serious, straight up question.

[destro]

Well according to Blatter ( after his latest comment ) all he has to do now is shake his hand and all is good in the world

well wot does negrito mean?

[andy_g]

negrito would literally translate as 'little black one' - a diminuitive of negro (as in the spanish for black) - black, black thing, or black person.

the FA (or Kuntz, as they will from now on be known):

Liverpool player charged following incident in Liverpool–Manchester United match.

The FA has today charged Liverpool’s Luis Suarez following an incident that occurred during the Liverpool versus Manchester United fixture at Anfield on 15 October 2011.

It is alleged that Suarez used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards Manchester United’s Patrice Evra contrary to FA rules.

It is further alleged that this included a reference to the ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race of Patrice Evra.

The FA will issue no further comment at this time.



Liverpool FC:

The Club this afternoon received notification from the Football Association of their decision to charge Luis Suarez and will take time to properly review the documentation which has been sent to us.

We will discuss the matter fully with him when he returns from international duty, but he will plead not guilty to the charge and we expect him to request a personal hearing.

Luis remains determined to clear his name of the allegation made against him by Patrice Evra.

The Club remain fully supportive of Luis in this matter.

if he called Evra a black anything that is racist

[andy_g]

what if he called him a black beauty?

[andy_g]

but seriously... if he gets nailed for technically referring to evra as a little black chappy then the world is especially t!ts up.

then again, i'm a white guy and a suarez fan, what can i say? maybe black people would feel differently and i'd really like to hear the views of black posters on this forum.

personally i would like to hear the sentence he used before passing judgement.

[destro]

Didn't he ( Luis ) say at the time he called him something that his United team mates refer to him as ?

Negrito= Pygmy
Its a derogatory term but is it racist?
Evra is black and he is small
