Racism in football - is there a problem?

[JagSquared]

How does the song go?

[Faustus]

I saw that story earlier this morning and couldn't help but think back to their song about Ji-Sung Park.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

How does the song go?

Lukaku Lukaku,

He's big and he's thick,

But he's got a big dick,

Lukaku Lukaku

 

Lukaku Lukaku,

He scored a hat trick,

1 using his dick,

Lukaku Lukaku

 

 

That is just an assumption, could be different.

[Gym Beglin]

Why don't they just ask Lukaku if he feels the song demeans him, his race, and his sense of pride?

 

If it doesn't then the Kick It Out team can go back to whatever the fuck it is they do every week, which probably involves pretending they aren't in 20 times a day when Garth Crooks calls.

[Dave D]

How does the song go?

 

I think it might be.

 

"Lukaaakkuuu....ohhhh what a massive bellend.....whhhhoooooaaaaa. Your shit ahhhhhhhhhh..."

[Thoth]

How does the song go?

 

The chant is sung to the tune of the Stone Roses’ Made of Stone and goes: ‘Romelu Lukaku, he’s our Belgian scoring genius with a 24 inch penis, scoring all our goals, bellend by his toes.

[Jennings]

manchester united fans dont do racism. They constantly told us they were better than this during the Suarez episode. Im utterly, utterly shocked at the notion.

 

It also means our N'Gog song was racist.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Be funny if just whipped out his micropenis to prove them wrong

[jimmycase]

Hey 4 inches isnt to be laughed at!

[Strontium]

Who died and made Lukaku the sole arbiter of what is and isn't racist?

[Moo]

You only have to go back 3 days as they were singing it again in Sunday.

[Funkasy]

Yes, now someone wants to tell us that singing about a penis is race related and wrong. Im sure Lukaku has nothing to do with this, but the fuckers (kick it out) need to earn a living and need their time in the limelight, the sad thing is that people agree with them to many extend. 

[Paulie Dangerously]

[Kidder Bukowski]

It's strange there wasn't the same reaction to a song about an Asian gentleman (see above), the morality in regard to racism seems pretty vague.

 

We (Scousers) apparently eat dead rats, dine out from dust bins, are pick-pockets (even of the dead) live in slums, are all unemployed, are self pitying murderous bastards but that's okay as we are the same colour so it's not racist. You can't draw boundaries between regions for goodness sake.

 

Yet you can between countries. Try telling an Irish joke nowadays.

 

The difference in the reaction of the press to the Manchester bombing and Hilsbrough is striking. One city was all of the above yet the other was the greatest city in the world for its normal reaction to a tragic incident.

[Iceman]

ah fuck it. I'm not posting about Lukaku's fish whacker.

Spot on. The Mancs sing tons of shite about us. Pretty ironic that they go on about Liverpool slums when Manchester has some utter third world rate shitholes. The sing always the victim but are too cowardly to say what it really refers to.

 

How dare Liverpool stand up for itself when slandered by the national press.

[Strontium]

Thank goodness we've never sung any songs about Manchester.

 

However I'm not sure what any of this has to do with racist stereotypes?

[Gym Beglin]

Agree Kidder.

 

 

I find KIO a bit of a strange organisation, as they started as an anti-racism group, mainly with the emphasis on blacks struggling in the game.  Now they've branched out into all forms of discrimination, and are focusing on homosexuality.  In fact, they ran an event with the LFC under 18's the other day talking about it, which you can see on their website.

 

They've got the same sort of trustee membership as they had years ago, and yet they're trying to 're-brand' with stuff like gay rights, women officiating, etc etc.  Which is fine, great, but let's not pretend they need to get involved with childish songs about Lukaku's cock, because it makes a mockery of the other things they do.

[Strontium]

Does it perpetuate a racial stereotype?

 

Yes.

 

Therefore, it is racist.

 

Let me know which part of this you're all struggling with.

[Gym Beglin]

1) It's stereotyping to consider that a football crowd in 2017 will sing about a black player's cock because he's black.  Oh I see, only racist white lads get on the terraces of Old Trafford? Doesn't count if it's a load of black or asian lads singing it, probably, think that's the rule.

 

2) What if Lukaku actually has a magnificent, shiny, weighty cock?  

 

You're struggling for material Stronts, I don't like it.

[Gym Beglin]

As for the OP.  

 

When there's a real problem, you don't need to ask if there's a problem.

U wot m9?

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

For what it's worth, its a chant based on race, and could probably do with dropping, but it's not on the same levels as monkey chants or lobbing bananas on the pitch, obviously.

[John101]

I've found it quite funny hearing people defend the chant and try to shift the focus back onto Kick it Out for 'assuming' the chant is because of his skin colour.

 

I dont want to drag us into the debate but its as farcical as when they try and justify the victim song. 

[Anny Road]

I recon Phil Jones is hung like a donkey. The ugly ones usually are.
