1. Makes it extra funny when white folks pretend not to know that calling black folks monkeys is racist

10. Bloo, why are they equating black people to monkeys, I could never

understand that rationale. Please Lord, keep President Obama and his family safe. The President is human too and am sure he would be miffed at the shit the birthers and the teabaggers are saying about him!

2. I wouldn't say astounding...

Pathetic? Yeah.

I can understand why these gentlemen are hurt and angry. I cannot understand the "fans". Do they come to the game with the sole intent of being racist, obnoxious twits?

3. It's not surprising.

Europe, in general, is very xenophobic. With the influx of Northern African and Muslim immigrants, racism has been on the rise.

It's still shocking to see when it is so overt. Can you imagine fans doing that at an NFL or NBA game? They wouldn't make it out of there alive.

4. Sadly, many of these Europeans have not had their racism challenged like in the US over here.

I think if there were a massive movement to identify and combat racism over there in European countries, then these horrible displays of racism would be stopped or at least driven underground.

5. You make a good point. Racism is everywhere! Whether you in

Europe or the West Indies. We need to see each other as humans first. People move to another country to look for their dreams, unfortunately, it does not work out! But we have to carry on and help those who are in need!

7. Wow...that was disturbing. Sounded like this was from 2006. Were any

of the proposed fine/penalties implemented? Has the situation improved?

8. IMO Racism is worse in Europe than it is in the US, it's just better hidden.

9. You got that right about the racism in Europe, but due to freedom

of speech even pastors in the US calling for President Obama to be killed, who are these nuts?
