    All I can say is thank god Oliver is a black man. Just think its an interesting point of view from a member of a black community outside UK

    Although since it was linked on twitters its amusing to see all the English united fans showing outrage at the big Jamaican black man for defending the Liverpool racist scum and telling him so on the Jamaican news site! Lol

    Which is also a shame because what I would have liked to have seen is a reaction from the Jamaican population to get a balanced community view

    Orville comes across as a bloke who is over the history of slavery and wants to live in the here-and-now.

    If we can get the rest of humanity to join him (regardless of their own ethnicity), the world would be a finer place.

    There is no place for racism, but equally, no place for those who forever perceive race as an issue.

    We're not being helped by some appalling Disgusting so called "Liverpool fans" and vile abuse they're tweeting to Stan Collymore:

    Personally I can't stand the man & I don't agree with his recent comments but nobody deserves that racist trash.

    We should all distance ourselves from this scum.

    Wow. All the abusive comments I got just for saying Liverpool is tarnishing its name by so publically supporting a man deemed to have racially abused a fellow professional. I suppose you learn something new about certain people and their 'beliefs' everyday.

    You might get some sympathy if you weren't using your declaration of surprise as an excuse to repeat your views. We got it the first time; you don't like us, doubt you did before this issue and THAT is what is really pathetic about you:

    It's quite clear you have more interest in scoring tribal club points than the issue at hand. That denigrates both Suarez & Evra.

    Thank god I'm not an arsenal player if this is the speed at which you would be abandoned by your supporters. No wonder it's so quiet at the emirates....

    Perhaps if you weren't such a

    , you might read what people have written, not just jumped on the bandwagon.


    The issue isn't did Suarez say something that could be construed as racist. Suarez has admitted using a word that, in England, is not generally considered acceptable.

    The issue is that a man, who both the FA disciplinary committee and Patrice Evra have both agreed is not a racist, has been treated as if he was. That is unfair. Patrice Evra appears, from the LFC statement, to have admitted using words which in Spanish is a derogatory slur, but which when directly translated into English does not appear to be particularly offensive. No action on this appears to be in the offing. This does not appear to be equitable treatment.

    That the FA have failed to publish their full findings can only be considered foolish in the extreme. It causes these arguments to be prolonged, and allows a man who has never been tainted with the whiff of racism, to be subjected to continued abuse from the likes of you.

    Given that he is under a continued assault from the likes of you, I feel I cannot stand aside and allow your abuse to remain unanswered. That does not mean I am a racist, or that I support racist acts or abuse. That you think this simply marks you out as a person of limited intellect, or an Internet Troll.

    If you are the former, you have my sympathy - this may help you Open University courses

    If you are the latter, you require help on doing it better

    Okay. I've been saving this for someone who might be open to reason and so I think it might be wasted on you, but here goes.
    Liverpool are not condoning racism.
    Liverpool are not backing a racist player out of misguided loyalty to one of their own.
    Liverpool are supporting someone whom they believe to have been wrongly convicted.
    As you're probably on here just to wum I doubt this will mean much to you, but if somewhere in there there's a more reflective part think on this: Imagine you have a close friend or family member who is convicted of a crime. They protest their innocence and, as you know them well, you believe their story.
    Do you; a) stand by them and try to help them clear their name?
    Or b) join the lynch mob and string 'em up anyway?
    Have a little think..

    Quote from article

    "
    Being discriminated against because you are black is one thing; being denied opportunities because of your colour is another"

    My exact thoughts<ok> Words come too easy especially when the blood's hot. Some more than others.
