norwichram Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 It was a fair observation by big bad ram, surprised and disappointed so many felt the need to pass comment/criticise and it cracks me up when people throw ‘woke’ in.. let’s all tar everything with the same brush and ridicule and demean it shall we?

RamuelLJackson Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Using expressions like "an accident black spot" or a "black day for X" is problematic because it's using "black" to mean "bad", so most people these days will find a different way to express this, quite rightly. Saying a black person is black isn't problematic. It may have been unnecessary on this occasion and so better left out, but it's not racist to include skin tone as an identifier where it makes things clear. On the contrary, dancing around trying to avoid saying a black person is black can honestly be more problematic - you're acting like you think black = bad. It's not. Anyway that said, Kwaku Oduroh played really well and I'd like to see him play lots of minutes this preseason archram, GB SPORTS, Ram1988 and 5 others 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 It’s a position where we clearly need to recruit and Oduroh looked promising, albeit judged on 45 mins. Definitely a very credible option though. RAM1966, RamuelLJackson and Ram1988 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone with experience and then someone like Oduroh with raw talent who will only get better and progress. Hopefully he wouldn't have big wage demands neither.

There was no malice and actually no racism at all in the comment. B4 was purely stating a fact. He couldn't remember his name so identified him in another way which was in no way racist. It is a fact that the lad is black. Alan Ramage 4 EVA, RAM1966 and archram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attend a reunion periodically, amongst the ex workmates are 3 people called Mick, so Mick C,Mick H, and Mick J .If the outtings are described or mentiond to someone who didn`t attend and the person doesn`t recall someones name(It was 35 years ago ) Mick J is often described as the Black lad . I agree No offence or racism intended BathRam72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I'm not having this. An 'identifier' was used to point out the player - that was all there was, no hidden agenda, no derogatory point being made, no slight on the person being identified. He's a young black lad, there is no point of education to make.

Ramarena Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 So on one hand we have someone criticising use a persons colour to identify them, but on the other it’s being criticised as “Wokery” Both sides are a bit over the top.

TF Ram Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Just to clarify, I never once accused B4 of being racist or derogatory towards the player. I merely stated that there could have been another way to identify him other than his skin colour. I have since replied to B4 to acknowledge that he did not mean to cause offence and moved on. I suggest the people who seem outraged at my comment to also do the same. Ram1988, Quagga, Carnero and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
