The Posters & The Racism. - BIAD - 12-17-2019

Here's an idea that -at first in this current climate of fake ethnicity-fawning and pompous feigned indignity, might seem
callous and churlish, that I agree with and should have been utilised after the racial abuse during the England vs Sofia
soccer game at the end of October.

It's alleged that Bulgarian soccer fans were making Nazi salutes and monkey chants towards certain black players
as the Sofia team endured a 6-0 drubbing. The game was stopped several times as the conduct continued.

Watching the media roll out the footage and how the football players and Manager were standing around discussing
this terrible behavior, I suggested to my better-half a way of extinguishing the racist jubilation was for the entire England
football squad to step into the centre-circle of the field and imitate the usual stereotypical actions of humans imitating
monkeys.

If the common stance is that we all evolved from apes, then all of the team should have just made the same gestures
and enjoyed the camaraderie of larking about and wasting the crowd's time, time that the same audience paid for.
It would've diluted the situation and showed what a team truly is.
In some circles, it's called fighting fire with fire.

Of course, the same media thrives on reporting racial abuse so the idea below must be reported in a bad light.
(Note: Serie A is an Italian football league.)


Quote:Serie A uses monkeys in anti-racism posters.

'Serie A has used images of monkeys in an anti-racism campaign less than three weeks after its clubs pledged to
combat Italian football's "serious problem". The 'No To Racism' posters show three monkeys with painted faces.
The monkey artwork will be displayed at Serie A headquarters in Milan.

"Once again Italian football leaves the world speechless. It is difficult to see what Serie A was thinking, who did they
consult?" said anti-discriminatory body Fare. "In a country in which the authorities fail to deal with racism week after
week, Serie A have launched a campaign that looks like a sick joke.

"These creations are an outrage; they will be counter-productive and continue the dehumanisation of people of African
heritage. "It is time for the progressive clubs in the league to make their voice heard."

Anti-discrimination body Kick It Out added: "Serie A's use of monkeys in their anti-racism campaign is completely
inappropriate, undermines any positive intent and will be counter-productive.
"We hope that the league reviews and replaces their campaign graphics."

In November, Brescia's Mario Balotelli called fans who shouted racist abuse at him "small-minded" and "imbeciles".
Inter Milan's Romelu Lukaku said the abuse he suffered in September, when Cagliari fans made monkey noises after
the Belgian scored a penalty against their team, showed the game was "going backwards".

The Sardinian club were later cleared of racist chanting, leading the head of anti-discriminatory body Fare to say that
Italian football authorities and their disciplinary systems to combat racism were "not fit for purpose".
Earlier this month Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport was criticised for the headline 'Black Friday' alongside images
of Roma defender Chris Smalling and Inter striker Lukaku prior to a match between the sides.

European football expert James Horncastle criticised Serie A for the posters.
"Question for the league is how they can't see what a loaded and misguided collaboration this is for an anti-racism
initiative," he said. "If you wondered why a select group of Serie A clubs are taking anti-racism into their own hands,
faith in the league is sub-zero."

At a news conference on Monday, artist Simone Fugazzotto, who always uses monkeys in his work, said: "For an artist
there is nothing more important than trying to change the perception of things through his own work.

"I decided to portray monkeys to talk about racism because they are the metaphor for human beings. Last year I was at
the stadium to see Inter v Napoli [a match in which Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly was racially abused] and I felt
humiliated, everyone was shouting 'monkey' at Koulibaly, a player I respect.

"I've always been painting monkeys for five to six years, so I thought I'd make this work to teach that we're all apes,
I made the western monkey with blue and white eyes, the Asian monkey with almond-shaped eyes and the black
monkey positioned in the centre, where everything comes from.

The monkey becomes the spark to teach everyone that there is no difference, there is no man or monkey, we are all alike.
If anything we are all monkeys."...'

Somebody gets it.


Quote:'Serie A chief executive Luigi de Siervo said: "The League's commitment against all forms of prejudice is strong and concrete,
we know that racism is an endemic and very complex problem, which we will tackle on three different levels; the cultural one,
through works like that of Simone; the sporting one, with a series of initiatives together with clubs and players, and the
repressive one, thanks to collaboration with the police."...'
BBC:

We're all the same, but sadly, the screaming progressives and click-baiting media hate that.

It's very upsetting that they would associate Africans with monkeys - the rest of the world does that, and they should not, so as to set themselves apart.

Wouldn't ir be more informative if one of the monkeys covered his eyes with his hands, the next his ears, and the next his mouth?

Am I being politically incorrect? Yeah, well, deal with it.
