Sol Campbell

[homer]

Mark McGhee and Dennis Wise quite rightly got stick from the Leicester fans for letting them down. However, the words of the song about Sol Campbell were racist and homophobic which the McGhee and Wise abuse never were. .

Only because they aren't black or gay, I suspect

Although I believe a certain song about Mr Mcghee refers to him being a fat Scottish bastard.....

I don't think that the truth is a counter argument to racism.

Doesn't it depend on if you are using it as a derogatory term?

yes, though I would say the bastard bit is the bit aimed to be harsh. the fat and scottish are just plain fact, if it was along the lines of he is a bastard because he is scottish then fair enough

Sol Campbell is black

Do you consider it acceptable to call him a black bastard ?

as much as I would see it as acceptable to call him a bastard yes. does you saying 'Sol Campbell is black' count as racist then?

Don't be silly :icon_roll

So you think that adding the tagline of race to any kind of insult makes no difference whatsoever ?

Get real

I really don't see why it would, he is black....therefore if he is a bastard then he is a black bastard, or a bastard who is black. the same as I would be a bastard who is white

so do the media when it suits, Paul Ince is a promising black manager....though you wouldn't hear them referring to a player as 'a diving black player' as there would be a stink from the PC brigade

Only acceptable if there is a nice word before the word black. Anything negative and it's racist.
