'Black' is neither racist or offensive, regardless of what you put before or after it.
Calling someone a black c*nt is offensive because of the 'c*nt' word, not the 'black' word.
If you heard someone calling Anton Ferdinand a 'black' footballer, would that also be offensive/racist because of the 'black' word? No - it would merely be stating a fact. Therefore Terry is actually going to court for calling AF a 'c*nt'. Seems a bit silly really.
I actually agree. This is why Suarez was punished and it looks very very silly. He called evra blackie blackie or whatever they had in the report. Evra is a black footballer and Suarez also believed it wasn't harmful as it may be okay to say it in his home country.
The least the fa should do now is punish the mighty hero Terry and be a bit more consistent but believe me he will walk with a minimum fine.
i disagree. i don't think the case is being made on the basis of either 'black' or 'c**t' on its own. if i call carra 'scouse' or glen johnson 'black' it would be to identify their ethnicity. if i call either of them a 'c**t', it would be a personal insult to them and them alone.
but if i call carra a 'scouse c**t' or glen a 'black c**t' it's not just an insult to an individual, it's included their ethnicity as if to characterise that grouping/race/ethnicity as all being 'c**ts'.
sorry lads, but is that not entirely f**king obvious?
