Morias

[Magpies1959]

Banjo, if serious, I think one, you do some research, and two, you get a sense of humour. Let me explain. Junior Morias is black, well built and very sturdy looking. A Black Mariah was a police van used to carry undesirables to and from prisons/courts, which was well built and sturdy looking. Do you see the connection in both words and appearances, no racism there.
Junior Morias is relatively small for a footballer too, and is black, some black people are very good at limbo,(other coloured people can also be good at this too ) so could be amusing to think of him limbo-ing under a door, oh the times I wish I could have done that lol.
BJPIE, yes sorry, I forgot to have my humour gene removed.

The jokes not very funny and based on some pretty obvious wordplay.
I don't think Magpies1959 is making a racist comment, however, there are a couple of lazy stereotypes. I.E. "some black people are very good at limbo" Also, black guys were often wrongly targeted by the police in the street in previous decades (and maybe still are) so it's a dodgy area for humour.
I just question why the focus is on his skin colour? He's a new player who wants to do well at his new club and should be welcomed by the supporters. Common sense gene required.

I think we have dropped this - in no one's interest to keep it going.

"We have dropped this" - So you speak on behalf of the whole board? You may be right , but individuals should be free to make their point, even if no-one is interested!
