Proving the 'Hitler' end of the scale isn't particularly difficult. We know how he felt about Jewish people. He wanted us to know. The further down we go, the tougher it gets. Simply asking 'prove it' for something as nuanced as this does seem disingenuous, particularly when there's an aversion to state what their version of evidence would be and dismissing other people's 'evidence' as %@#$&!s. |

Sterling and Cole have achieved nothing of note for the national team. Sterling may yet have his redemption moment. Quote:
Good job you were so concerned that you put some effort into researching his background. Gotcha. Here's the racist @#%&!: Scottish too. |

And before you ask, yes I have met him personally on a number of occasions. Man is a bell of the highest order. |

Embarrassing yourself. Suck on this context bomb for me will you pal? It's a short but edifying twitter thread: would luuuurve to hear your considered response. |

And I'm not suggesting it's enough. I'm more asking the question. One that you've hinted at there: In the absence of absolute proof, what else do we have? If tone or whatever you want to call it isn't enough, what is? What would constitute evidence outside of an angry man calling Raheem Sterling a 'black @#%&!'? Surely we're not suggesting that prejudices don't exist in more subtle forms than that? If they do, then how do we find evidence for them? |

Not the concept itself. Unless you don't think prejudices exist outside of the outrageously overt. In which case, never mind. |

But again, he hasn't suffered anything like the targeting that Sterling has. I dunno why you're more interesting in dismissing the idea of racism than at least thinking it's good that these @#%&!s who have spent years vilifying him are finally going to back off. Sterling and Cole have had it worse than anyone. It's hard to argue their offence sheet is as bad as anyone. Maybe just a coincidence. |

Unless you believe thought crimes should be punished there is no harm done until someone is on the end of something tangibly racist. There is no difference between someone not doing a racist act because theyre not racist and a racist not doing a racist act but harbouring racist thoughts. The act is the problem. |
