    He's a * but I didn't think the tweet was racist?

    Racist/not racist he is a dozy old dinosaur that shouldn't be tweeting things like that to millions of people.

    First reply, and yeah pretty much this.

    I've heard good mates and drinking buddies make these sort of comments in the pub, in fact I can hear the voice of one lad actually saying this in my head. It's clearly meant at a * joke, I very much doubt he meant it at all as a racial slur. But the snowflakes of the world are rife on social media and Sugar really should no better than to use Twitter as his own personal local boozer.

    It's a daft throwaway comment that shouldn't get anyone in to trouble, but you don't say it outwith your own company.

    Who are you to tell a black person they're a "snowflake" if they don't like this? If one of the Senegalese players speaks out against it, is he just being too sensitive?

    So now, not only are you the * of the joke and laughed at for being black, but if you point out a problem with it, it's YOUR fault for being too sensitive? No reaction other than taking it and shutting up is acceptable?

    I was meaning the idiots on social media, normally the 19 year old white girls screaming about every little thing they come across.

    Personally an unfunny and silly meme that he forwarded after millions had already seen is so inconsequential compared with this man who sits in the House of Lords unashamedly Zionist views and his contempt for the result of a democratic process that lead to the people of the UK voting to leave the EU bother me far more.

    There was a Patrice Evra tweet dug up about him saying to Park Ji Sung about Rush Hour 4 and comparing the difference..

    Evra is a bawbag by the way but it isn't offensive either in my opinion..

    So irrespective of what decision the people took with that particular vote you would support the likes of Sugar and his likes working to disregard it and undermine it for their own personal interests? I didnt wish to pull the topic away from the subject but only pointed out this * mindset and arrogance when democracy doesn’t work in his favour irrespective of whether my view corresponds with his or not, I suspect yours does judging by the fact you want to make a a point of highlight it.

    That's different. It sounds like Evre is saying that two different people happen to look the same. Sugur used a photo of the whole team to say they were bag sellers, he's promoting racist idea that all Black people look the same and then patronising them, it's obvious racism.
