Racist Abuse Over Social Media...

[Mozz71]

So Crystal Palace footballer Wilfred Saha has recieved "sickening" racial abuse over Facebook.

A 12 year old boy has been arrested.

How the hell does a little boy become so warped that they think that this is acceptable? What the hell has his parents been teaching him?

I asked politely Roy.

If you post something, but refuse to clarify to someone who may have misunderstood it what you meant, I can't see any point in posting it in the first place.

[Mozz71]

//How do you know that he has picked this up from his parents, could be from his mates.
( C'mon the Villa ).//

Quite possibly, but his parents should be teaching the lad how wrong those actions are, or they are failing as parents.

//Take my post as you see fit...I have no need to explain myself to anyone.//

Good policy Roy. Keep them enigmatic. They look less stupid that way.

[tonyav]

Maybe, but how about if his parents don't know.

[Mozz71]

Rhey should be raising their kid to know those actions were wrong in the first place.

They may learn from the son, then, Tony x either way- the whole family should soon see it isn't acceptable. I'm not thinking he should get life imprisonment or anything- but they all need to see what is or isn't normal.

[tonyav]

Ah righto then.

[Togo]

Have any of the "reports" indicated the effnic background of the vulnerable, non compos mentis, 12yr old ? Or is it a given that he has freckles and over privileged?

[Mamyalynne]

His ethnicity has not appeared in any report I have read and certainly wouldn't affect my view on the matter.

[Mozz71]

No details have been revealed, as is the norm with a minor.

[tonyav]

Only detail I have seen is that he is from Solihull.

[Togo]

Solihull? Not skint then AV? Unless the place has changed since I was last there. Not a manual labour occupation household then either...... but who is these days. Probably got a corner shop then I suppose. Hope "they" don't organise a boycott or take down on the place....after all we all need the news.

[Mamyalynne]

Any idea of his blood group and star sign?

[pixie374]

Presumably O positive and Leo.

[Cloverjo]

12 year old boys aren’t ‘little’. They see this stuff everywhere. I wouldn’t assume his parents are to blame.

[tonyav]

Solihull? Not skint then AV? Unless the place has changed since I was last there.

You are right, Togo.

[Cloverjo]

Aren’t there rich parts and poor parts in every town and city? There have been everywhere I’ve seen.

[Mozz71]

This thread is trying to figure out how a little boy gets to the point where he sends racist slurs to a footballer. What the social or employment status of his family has to do with anything is beyond me. You talk of race (not to mention corner shops). Are you suggesting it may be put up job by an anti racist group (who may or may not include the letters B L and M) to stir up racial tention?

[tonyav]

Yes, jo. In Brum it's Solihull and Sutton Coldfield.

I never........either the first 8 words of that statement are untrue or the last sentence tells us that you wouldn't understand the answer if it hit you.
