Re: US Infects Guatemalans With Syphilis During 1940s Experiments
I think a few years ago, when Samuel Eto'o of Inter Milan had bananas thrown at him while playing Lazio, an Italian soccer team. Lazio has a regular skin-head fan section in their stadium and they boo their own black players.
As a follower of soccer, this sort of thing is very common and occurs all the time. Racism is much more deep rooted and prevalent throughout Europe.

I enjoyed the terrace humor but the racism is and will always be utterly retarded. One of my favorite chants from back in the day was "Who ate all the pies" at Gascoigne when he was a chubby bastard. We'd also pelt him with Mars bars (Milky Way in the US). More modern examples are "There's only two Andy Goram's" (instead of "There's only one Andty Goram" as is traditional) as he was diagnosed as schizophrenic. Anyone else have an example of terrace humor that they'd like to share? |

Is soccer really a good sport to use as an example of hate. It looks to me as they all hate each other about the same.
youtube soccer fights - Bing Videos Even the fans hate each other and I cannot see that they care about a persons skin color. youtube soccer fans fighting - Bing Videos |

There's a certain fascist element to the players too:
This is Paulo di Canio getting his fans all jiggy. Idiot. |

Re: US Infects Guatemalans With Syphilis During 1940s Experiments
FD there are fights in all sports between players and fans. The brawl at the Palace in the NBA, for example. I see videos each week of NFL fans mauling each other and wasn't one shot after a preseason game this year?
Be honest with your posts. Are you dismissing soccer as an example because you truly feel it's not fair to use a reflection of racism or is your personal anti-soccer bias impacting your opinion? Based on your generalizing nature/tone of your post, I would suspect the latter.

Soccer does have the best fights when the hate gets too strong.

Now the games are locked down and crowd violence is sporadic at best. I'd recommend you invent a time machine, go back to the '70's and visit Upton Park or The Den and enjoy a Millwall Vs. WHU game. Any 'rivalry' game would work, I can personally recommend this fixture though. |

It's one thing to admit to your faults, it's another to justify your faults and only correct them after decades if ever. That is what this country does more often than not and I think that's slightly better than Chinese not admitting to its faults. Remember, the China transitioned from aristocracy to Communism fairly recently and in that process the communist pointed out the faults of the aristocracy. Communism is ultimately self-defeating the piper will be calling for the communists one of these days and the faults of the communist will similarly be pointed out. The same thing can be said about the Russians. I was speaking of South Korea. You had people that wanted to be free and people who wanted communism. Like I said, communism is ultimately self-defeating but it's definitely nice to have altruistic help from the U.S. Hopefully that desire to help will be extend to the North Koreans one of these days. China's human rights is just as laughable as that of the United States but you wouldn't know it talking to Americans. Human rights is somehow extended to torture and political imprisonment of dissenters in the U.S. but not to justified torture, opportunity and equality. How many people are in prison in United States again and how many innocent people are falsely imprisoned? How many egregious laws are there in the books simply because it serves a political purpose certain kinds of people? Historically speaking we are comparing countries/societies who have existed for millenniums, lack diversity and were not found based on the ideals of equality, freedom and democracy with a country that has been round centuries, diverse, and found based on the aforementioned qualities. Obviously these countries can't adapt to change as rapidly as the U.S. but if we compare which countries have gone through a significant change for the better over their life span I don't believe the U.S. wins which is the point I was making.
