The world cup is coming up. We already had a little incident here with flags, there is another controversy with a South Carolina senator right now.

Here is a good video about the problem in europe, the video is a little old but is always a good idea to remind people that we are all humans regardless of a flag or skin color.

Help us to fight racism.

Support the cause by leaving your opinions and thoughts in these threads or videos.

Thanks

I need clarification. What "little" incident are you refering to?
Be careful trying to make a connection between having pride in ones past (and country) and being a racist.

Also, to posters that try and make a point by saying "They do it that way in Europe". Well, as obvious from this video....just because they "do it" in Europe, doesn't always make it right.

Chris Ramsey was a former head coach for the Charleston Battery from 2002-2004, he's also black and here's a very candid interview he did back when he was in Charleston.

after all, everything comes down to "im better than you because im in the senate and im from lexington."

i have not problem with people competing, but when you insult, or hurt somebody physically or the worse, use guns to solve the problem, then that is when is not right.

a political leader should never EVER say those things, he should be resigned from the office and penalized, just like Aragonez was penalized by fifa.

like i said, regadless of flags, nationalicites, ethnicities, skin color, we are all humans trying to make some money to live descently.

For God's sake can't we just enjoy a sporting event without all the political BS?
