I have had the privilege to read Alfinyalcabo's posts for over 16 years and he has not got a racist bone in his body, yes he likes a joke and will seem to go over the top, but so do I, and so do a lot of people, but it does not make us racist, NOT ONE BIT.
We have told jokes in previous times on this site about Jews, Catholics, Folk with Disabilities, Blacks, Germans, French, Pakistanis, Indians, Americans, Women and all the rest, it does not mean we are racist towards any of them, and I thought that we all took pride in being able to have a laugh and when outsiders called us Racists well it was their choice even though they were wrong, just remember the threads I used to do every week "One for the day" with the videos/gifs, some was way over the top and one poster got the hump because it was not something he liked, you stood by that gif BT and said he was a mard arse; I have spelled his name wrong a couple of times on match threads, so what ? Alf is right, he's not good enough which is not really his fault but Garlicks for us not having many decent players in the squad to call a proper team, he's been thrown in through no fault of his own and IMO it may destroy him and his future, so Dyche has himself IMO took more than respect out of Joel not Alf on a bloody message board, and just because he's a Burnley player means absolutely nothing, as I've said on another thread.
IMO I think Chris, Sinkov and Sub's observations on that thread are spot on, and the point you make BT about Mumbongo not being white but black is splitting hairs, honestly it makes you no different from BLM followers and the tin pot group who call themselves the PC brigade who could have an argument with a paper clip.
I took pride on coming on here when Tony Scholes left, I felt I could speak my mind with the rest of the posters, but obviously with what has happened with Alf it does not look like the same board anymore, so I will restrict myself to "The Days Other Games" thread until I find another Forum post freely, take the Mod duties away from me or ban me if you like BT, as I don't care anymore because I'm all for free speech (which is gradually being taken away from us) as long as it is used in fun or banter, but folk (like you have) who imply its Racist or unfair are on a different planet than me.
