HanoiVillan Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) If it's not racism, what is it? I don't buy that it's an attempt to get back in Liverpool fans' good books, there are thousands of less circuitous ways they could do that. No Liverpool fan is buying the Scum just because they're mean to Raheem Sterling. On the other hand, this really is a sustained campaign of abuse, that has lasted years and years at this point. When they link him to murders that happened in a different part of the country, or illustrate articles about other people with his picture, this represents editorial decisions to make his life hell. Given the length of this campaign, it must have been discussed in dozens of editorial meetings, and they're still doing it, so it's clearly and totally deliberate. So if not disgust at the sight of a rich young black man spending money, what is it? Edited May 30, 2018 by HanoiVillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if not disgust at the sight of a rich young black man spending money, what is it? The timing is incredible as well. Sterling's tattoo has been known about for weeks. You can see it here the day Man City won the title. Not a great pic, but it would have been in full view for all of those celebrations so I'm sure there are plenty of better pics out there for anyone bothered to look. it's no coincidence the story has been run as soon as the domestic campaign is finished and focus turns to the world cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted June 1, 2018 Moderator Share Posted June 1, 2018 Tabloids Meet To Plan Weekly Vilification Of Raheem Sterling Quote Tabloids Meet To Plan Weekly Vilification Of Raheem Sterling AT a meeting, which takes place in the same conference room at the same time every week, the English tabloids with the compliance of their international colleagues have convened once again to plot and plan out their vilification of Raheem Sterling for no other reason than, well, the colour of his skin. Sterling made needless headlines recently after getting a tattoo of a gun, which emboldened English tabloids to think it was safe again to mock, attack, vilify and heavily insinuate the footballer needed a large number of people to coalesce and criticise him ultimately leading to his banishment from society. However, tabloid editors have rejected accusations of blatant racism. “Hang on, we single Raheem out time and time again because he comes from a less than privileged background, not just ‘cus he’s black,” confirmed one editor, “and don’t forget this isn’t one sided criticism, we criticise him for being obscenely rich and for having a dirty car, shopping in Poundland and buying nice things for his mum”. Responding to claims from Sterling that the tattoo is unfinished and an anti-violence message relating to the fact his own father was shot dead when Sterling was just two years old, tabloid editors have said ‘we’ll have to tap his phones to see if he is telling the truth’. The public thankfully has failed to fall for this bait, with many calling for a boycott of the offending newspapers and publications. “Yeah but he’s a workshy millionaire footballer foreigner and I hate people like him,” confirmed the comment sections of the Daily Mail online, which is powered solely by the bilious fumes emitted by the people who spend the day there arguing about who dislikes people of colour more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'We' deserve better than the agenda set by Rupert Murdoch and his lackeys in the Scum. Only about one in every fifty people in the country reads the paper regularly; they don't represent all of us, or even most of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
