What are you guys opinion on the Bernado Silva controversy? I personally have never bantered with my white friends like Mendy has but a black Frenchman might have a different view on what is racist or not.

There's another video thats surfaced where Silva basically jokes about how dark Mendy is. I'm conflicted, I'm personally as close to black as one can be but by making a joke about darkness racist are we not implicitly saying darkness is a bad thing?

Pep been a fraud. Pray for his downfall

 

[hashmander]

cacs gonna cac, don't expect otherwise. my philosophy is to assume that all white people are racist until they prove otherwise. guilty until proven innocent. especially iberians.

Is the announcer laughing at him?!

Yes breh. If you kick the ball into a one man wall of Lahm, you deserve to be laughed at

The sad part is Mendy’s complete acceptance of the whole thing. Like the slow kid in class who has no idea he’s being picked on. Just pitiful.

Because it gives license to all the other racist pricks to do the same thing.

I just hope Mendy checked him in private. Bernardo most likely wasn't trying to be racist, but Mendy looks stupid jumping in to defend him. Let him hold his L like a man
It's just like when Griezmann dressed in blackface

Is Lacazette back?

Tierney looks legit down that left flank. Auba and Laca gon eat

Fred and McTominay pulling strings in the middle

Arsenal played their cup tie against Forrest early so they could help them be 100% for Stoke

And it's paying off nicely for them

Hopefully Stoke & Huddersfield get sent down to League 1
