Zappa 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Reminds me a little bit of a company I worked for in Birmingham who's bosses were about Green's age and always called black people coons. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amms 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Yeah, they shoot at him from all angles. Wonder why e.g. no-one ever mentioned those strange dealings Desmond did in Ireland ... As for the remarks, if he speaks to these people directly like he does here, nicknames and whatnot, the reaction is way over the top. "Taken out of context" springs to mind. He was not at some sort of propaganda excercise or the like. The double standards applied in this country are indeed mind-boggling ... C'mon mate, frankly the 'reaction' has been surprisingly muted. I don't know about Germany but for anyone in the public eye in the UK to use the words 'Paki' and 'Darkie' in whatever context shows such a frightening lack of awareness as too stagger me. He sounds like he's escaped from a shit 70s sitcom, it's bewildering. The term 'Paki' is such a loaded term, carrying so much baggage I'm stunned anyone would say it even in jest far less admit it publicly. Green deserves all the derision and criticism he gets, his 'explanation' is a joke, he's an embarrassment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 If he was a racist he would never have used the words he said...he's a bit slow in the pc department though, he'll catch up quicker now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 This whole racist remark pantomime is a big fat red herring and the red herring ain't the only thing that smells fishy! Classic distraction technique and it's probably been done to deliberately distract from the far more important issues. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Whyte has more recordings i'm not sure there's an awful lot left to say. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Seems Charles has 'Show Racism the Red Card' in his back pocket too Nobody is saying that. What I'm actually saying is that Green & co knew fine well that the racist remarks would cause a storm and the remarks were made to deliberately cause the storm in order to distract from the other bad press and far more important issues that have been raised this week. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real PapaBear 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 So, if I'm understanding this, according to 54, Charles Green is not a racist because he uses racist language and according to GA he's not a racist because he employs people who are non-White (Alabama plantation owners, anyone?). Is it just me? Am I missing something here? Like an Alice in Wonderland gene that will help me understand this by taking me back to 1973? Here's a clue fellas, if you use terms like Paki' and 'darkie' and pine for the days when these were commonplace and you could use them about your favourite centre forward without going to jail - you're a racist. Green is a racist. It really is that simple. If you're happy with a liar and a racist representing our club, well that's your call. Me? I think he's an embarrassing joke who should gtf asap. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
