So that means if he said it that he's not racist?

Like I said, there are black people that are racist to black people. Italians that are Racist to Italians. There mixed race people that are racist to those that belong to the race of one of their parents. They are still being racist IF they use the racial slurs

It takes more than a racial slur to become a racist.

To me a racist is a person that genuinely believes they are actually a better being or are above the black race. A person trying to hurt someone by insulting them, and so resorts to using a racial insult is a massive cunt and a certified douche and should be punished to the extreme, however it takes more than a racial slur to become racist.

Yeah I read that too re: Evra...Facts involving this incident aside, both have their capacity for douchery, truth be told

Problem with Evra is that after the French revolution at the WC, I don't trust him really...Ethically, he seems a bit dubious...On the other hand, Suarez, as great a footballer as he is, there doesn't appear to be a line he won't cross (Seems like a perfect fit for a Moroninho managed side, tbh)

Could it boil down to a confusion in language/culture that occurred on the pitch?...I saw both of them jostling back & forth throughout the match - they both had a great deal of pent up anger towards the other, which makes deciphering events even harder

Is it conceivable that Suarez used a slur towards Evra?...Definitely...Is it conceivable that Evra would lie about it?...Possibly...It leans more in favor of Evra's version of events than Luis' but I'm not sure anything can possibly come of it without any corroboration of events

I was rooting for a Barca swoop on Suarez, but most in here were maintaining that he would turn to be another Kezman...

:lol:

Racism works in many more ways than just against Africans (or of African origin)

And yes, racism is about racial oppression and exploitation and apartheid, not name-calling...
