Racist Scumbag Villa "Supporter"

Effin ell... 12?
Doesn't learn being an asshole on his own.

Exactly. I'd be arresting his parents at the same time.

Good video, that. Thanks Purple Trousers.

He's 12 and giving him a thread of his own just allows him to think he's clever.  He needs educating, not immortalising.

I started the thread to give it a wider audience in case someone on here knew the offender and was able to identify him.

I wasn't having a go at you mate.

There is a big question mark here about parenting and general household attitude and language.

[Risso]

Twelve, bloody hell.  You do have to wonder what sort of upbringing he's had to come out with something like that.

No worries. 🙂

He isn’t one of us. Disgusting piece of shit

Not one of us. Ban him.

I’m not being deliberately provocative here. It’s subtle so bear with me and have a think before quickly responding.

The statement he’s not one of us, was quickly challenged on Twitter and at the time I agreed when I saw the response to that, that you are getting upset about the wrong thing.

Yet, seeing it here a few times, I do agree with the sentiment. I wish he/she wasn’t a villa fan, will hopefully get banned (and experience with the club on racism at a game this season was very very good, so I do trust them on that), and I  hope/trust they are not on H&V.

But it’s too easy to do that ‘othering’,  that implies none of our fans are racist and say it’s not part of us. It is at times, consciously or unconciously. Got to rush out to work so not at my most carefully worded, but hope this makes sense. I think especially in the context of BLM, we need to own it a bit more, and (I’ll get accused of being a snowflake, don’t care), on average check ourselves a bit more too.

A bit of context. You’ll be bored of me referencing Akala’s everyday racism video on the  guardian website, but ah here you go again only 3.5mins from 2015 that hasn’t aged a bit. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/video/2015/mar/18/everyday-racism-what-should-we-do

Totally agree.

12 years old. If anyone saw the Sky Black Lives Matter piece before the Test Match Michael Holding made the point that no child is born racist so it begs the question what or who has made this kid want to post such revolting abuse.

[dave.woodhall]

Looking at what he said, it was an odd choice of phraseology for a twelve year old.

[kippaxvilla2]

I agree.  It looks far too sophisticated for a 12 year old to post of his own volition.

[AsTallAsLions]

And the materials too. Perhaps it speaks to the evils of the internet, but I'd have had no knowledge of the significance of the word 'c**n' (censoring for obvious reasons) when I was that age.

Awful stuff. Hope they do look into his home environment.

[PeterWithesShin]

Depends on how much he's heard that sort of terminology growing up. If such things have been said on a regular basis at home then he'll know them and the meaning.

Indeed true

[dave.woodhall]

Again, though, would the c word be widespread amongst the generation that would have a twelve year old child? It's very seventies Alf Garnett - wouldn't something beginning with 'n' be much more likely?
