Stephane Grappelli Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 When you remove everything offensive from humour, what you are left with is Miranda Hart. Or Russell Howard. His whole routine seems to be based on trying to prove how tolerant and PC he is. Makes me think that deep down he must be a racist, homophobic, intolerant *****. Either that or he really is just that unfunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westendjambo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Wondered what Jim White was ranting and raving about on Talksport, he feels really strongly about the chant, stating it is racist, agree with him, but would like to hear him have a go at the old firm fans with the same gusto, in particular his beloved Rangers.The question was how do people get away with this? I felt like phoning up and posing the question about the two uglies getting away with singing constant sectarianism? Crystal clear for all to hear at almost every away game for them both on sky/BT sports. Lukaku situition sounds like a handfull of people in fairness you might never be able to cut small things (not his manhood) like this out. But as for rangers and celtic its a full stand of people singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That player presumably has seen Aaron Lennon's Josef Locke so is well placed to comment on the size of said appendage. Or, he didn't get the play on words and genuinely thought they meant who spends the longest time in the shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I once went out with a right wag. All she wanted was a rich man with a 15? penis. I had to dump her as I was not chopping 2? off for no broad! I went the opposite way, got a 4ft 11, 7. stone wife, to her everything seems bigger! Nb she ain't 7 stone now.

Hearts First Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Maybe it's common knowledge amongst Everton & Man Utd fans that Lukaku has a big tadger.

Costanza Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The way they would have you believe is that we are having nothing but refugee families of doctors and scientists come to the UK. White people are going up to non whites in the face and hitting them with baseball bats, gays are running in fear of their lives and women are struggling every second of everyday just to get the same wage as a man and being raped on every street corner. It is utterly horrendous. I think these people live in some kind of parallel universe as they do not live on planet Earth. As you say, no decent sane person actually hates people for the colour of their skin ? seriously not one. I have never known anyone to hate gays let alone hit them. Infact no-one I know even gives the slightest **** about anyone being gay. I would probably be more interested in what a worm ate for breakfast than the sexual orientation of someone. The shit that they protest for is simply not a reality. Well not in the world I live in anyway. I realise this is the ?Terrace? so rant over. As for Lukaku, he is a pro footballer, an undoubted multi-millionnaire with a massive shlong (by recent accounts) that would have the hottest women on the planet wanting a piece of him. I see no injustices in his life ? I envy the jammy ****er!!! So there's no homophobia in the world and it's just a liberal illusion. Who knew?

gnasher75 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Not only is this a particularly stupid statement (amongst an ocean of stupid posts) I'm left wondering where you think the reference comes from. Do you sincerely believe they measured his penis or something? Of course the chant is racist. I can never be bothered posting these days but I feel I almost have to here in case some reasonable people are looking in and judge us all to be racist simpletons. So if Connor Sammon plays against us and a section of Hearts fans make up a chant about his inability to jump will that be deemed racist?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joondalupjambo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Definition of racism; prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior: That's the definition, I would suggest the last few words indicate it is reverse racism? So the Mobo awards then, they discriminate because whites are not allowed to enter and by default suggests black music is better. Fits in with the above quote.

Costanza Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I've just read the article in the link. The whole article is written from the point of view that those who came up with the chant were 100% linking the size of Mr Lukaku's appendage to the colour of his skin. There is no evidence of this. She also makes a stereotypical assumption herself - that anyone holding with positive racial stereotypes must also hold with negative stereotypes, just because surveys have said so. Well I have never been asked to take such a survey, and I would resent anyone supposing to know what my thoughts and views are based on this. I usually avoid dismissing such articles as hand-wringing liberal nonsense, because to do so is often to ignore real issues which should be addressed. However, in my opinion this lady's article is utter nonsense which simply panders to the easily-offended. The chant mentions Lukaku's Belgian nationality. It does not mention the colour of his skin. There have been plenty of examples over the years of similar chants, but aimed at white players. My main issue with it, to be honest, is that it just sounds a bit rubbish. There is no evidence that the song is related to the colour of his skin but it almost certainly is, given the noted stereotypes that exist. The reference to people sharing positive and negative stereotypes was that they tend to, not explicitly do share them. It's not a stretch to assume that some who think black men have large penises also share negative stereotypes of black men as well. Agreed on the surveys as they can't encapsulate everyones views but you can't also just dismiss surveys because you don't agree with them. I personally am not rolling back offended by the chant as yes, there are much bigger race issues to contend with but it is to me anyway, a lazy chant pandering to a stereotype.
