2018/19 Yerry Mina

Goodness. You've been shown why people believe it is, and have chosen to not look or ignore it. Wilful ignorance is still ignorance.

...willyful perhaps?

No it’s not. How is a song which suggests that a specific person has a large penis racist? I can only assume you have created a new definition of racism. Can you please share your definition of racism, I would like to compare it to the official definition of the word.

"The idea of the salacious Black male and his monster cock has been used to perpetuate the objectification and brutality of African American men." (https://bit.ly/2Rar4iB) How about you educate yourself mate, before making the same ridiculous post every time - like what I originally posted.

Glad to see a number comment that it is inappropriate to be offended for other people and that some doubt other people’s sensitivities. It’s not my place to know or decide who is or isn’t offended by something. It is my right however to say whether something offends me.

Well you must have mentally collected some data otherwise how could you possibly know that people went from loving it to hating it ? truth is the people who loved it probably still love it and the people criticising it probably never loved it in the first place despite your insistence that everyone loved it.

So you're being pedantic because I used the word everyone?

If I said that everyone used to love Duran Duran in the eighties do you think I genuinely am saying that the whole population was in love with them?

I probably in the the parlance of our times mentally collected the data that they were very popular.

Probably not the best analogy but I'm actually enjoying listening to Duran Duran on a Friday night and I tire of this banter.

Dr Durand Durand was the baddy in that 60's futuristic movie Barbarella...I think Simon Le Bon got the band's name from this.

Ok, I feel there may be a thread ban coming on because of this, so out of respect I will not discuss further after this post. I suppose my main gripe is that anyone can call “racism”or “offensive” without justification, and when people ask why something is offensive they just get attacked rather than educated because the ”offended” are aware that they are mostly being offended on behalf of someone that is not really offended. (Unless you have evidence that Mina is offended by being accused of having a large penis, in which case I will offer my humblest apologies)

But hey, servience is easier than debate. And that is what we have just created. One nil for the man.

When the KKK use a reference to degrade people it's perhaps an indication that it's not a great stereotype to use. If you need explicit disapproval from Yeri then I can't really say any more.

That is the opposite of what @Tilling 's post directly quoting you did

You`re spot on about Duran Duran`s name.

Jane Fonda was mighty fine in that film too.

Your entire point revolved around your assertion that people who previously loved it no longer like it now its been pointed out that it uses a racial stereotype. Anyway it's not really worth arguing about i admit, it just seemed a bit of an illogical post. Enjoy your Duran Duran.

Geez..... the last XX pages have been a real huge cock-blocker!
Im taking my american kids to a panto this year in New Brighton, I cant think how that might go down with the Politically correct offspring. Unless they have sanitized panto now too!!

Can't we all just be frandolinos?

Yerry Christmas Everyone.

I find the whole thing weird and always have - as soon as we sign a black player someone will post something about his 'size' within a few posts. Don't get it, the whole concept has a fairly dodgy history and it just seems bizarre to me. You can add with it the whole sexualising Gomes thing too which I also find odd.

Perhaps he is fearful it is giving him too much to live up to!
