ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[Blue 1]

Have fun.

He's got himself in a right old muddle. He's trying to explain/give it context if you look at his Twitter profile, but he doesn't seem particularly articulate or au fait with how Twitter works. It's a right old mess. I wouldn't take that tweet at face value on it's own though.

No not at all, I dislike Barnes as much as the next Evertonian but its definitely come out wrong I think. I just found the ramble of tweets that followed really funny, I personally think 9am is a bit early to be hitting the ale. According to this Barnesy thinks differently though.

Day 13

Oh FFS.

What an absolute knob.

Day 13

Poorly timed rant from him, with Liverpool's defenders dropping like fly's he might actually have to do a bit of goalkeeping, I wonder what his style will be with someone rushing in on goal? 1 missed timed tackle from him and this needs to come back at him.

Day 13

Jesus, they're making him sound like the second coming of Kevin Muscat.

If there's any justice the bleating git will crock someone with his 'approach'.

Been on the 'spezial brau' far too early it seems - god help the tunnel attendants when he starts on them.

Just because he suffered racial abuse in the '80s doesn't make John Barnes a person of expertise in how to eradicate the problem now 30 or so years later. He's a moronic, ignorant, race-baiting a**hole of a man. Media should completely ban him.

Perhaps you should stop believing in your own tiny mind that black people need your sympathy, because it’s clear they don’t.
But there is the difference, some look to stand shoulder to shoulder and see them as equal, but some like you see them beneath you, hence your outpouring of vitriol. You seem to see a lot of colour, almost like you want division.

lol

So I say stop ignoring John Barnes about racism and it's some overblown reaction?

Wow, ok.

Wow, ok.

I think you should stop being a racist.

 

[Kenshin]

I think you should stop being a racist.

Ok sorry.

I'll leave it to all you white people then to tell a black man who suffered racial abuse for years his opinion should be ignored then.

Edit- In fact what racist thing have I actually said here?

Just stop it.

Actually no

What racist thing have I said?

Don't throw accusations out without backing them up mate.

You are very clearly endorsing the statement “I don’t like white people”, which is racism???

 

[Kenshin]

How am I endorsing it. In fact how does that make me racist on the basis of someone else's opinion?

Why should anyone dictate to someone how they feel after they have been a victim of racism? Week after week of getting racist abuse from a white crowd and it's racist to suggest that maybe his opinion on the subject might be different to a white person who , 30 years ago was hurling that abuse.

Have I a really posted a racist reply in this thread?

Suggest you withdraw the racist remark mate , that's a little too strong to throw about to people.

I hate John Barnes.... always have .... not bothered if he’s black, white or rainbow coloured... a bellend is a bellend and he’s a prize bellend
