Berlusconi brother racist comments

"i've finished right we are all off to see the families little *bleep*. he's a madhead. All the ladies are invited you can even meet the president as well"

I don't think he is racist but ffs he needs to get a grip

Italy

This is after Boateng walked off the field in a friendly as well.

coming from the brother of the guy who called Obama a "pretty tan man" this is hardly surprising

It's not even been a week since his move

I seen on ssn he was racially abused. I expected it to be from another clubs fanbase, heck maybe even a small group of Milan fans but the Vice President? That almost had me in tears. Who in the name of baby Zlatan racially abuses a player for the team they're a VP of?

Perhaps some Milan fans can concentrate less on the possibility of Juve fans giving Balotelli a bad time and look at their own board room

Is their a italian version to the "N" word because I didn't hear him say that in the speech nor did the people around him act as if he said something bad.

Did he really call him the N**** word ?

oh boy, welcome back to Italy super Mario.

I was also wondering. The headline uses N***** but is the american "N-word" similar to what he used, presumably in Italian?

I hope this is just a mis translation... if not

Well, it does sound like something a Berlusconi would say.

it was mistranslated

Oh, what was it then? x)

"Let's go watch our little African-Italian play" ? x)

Link? Sounds like Goal.com rubbish

here's what he said:
"Andiamo a vedere il negretto di famiglia, le signorine sono naturalmente invitate. Avrebbero anche l'occasione di conoscere il presidente".

Which should have been interpreted as: "We're going to see the little black boy of the family, the young ladies are of course invited. Would even have the opportunity to meet the president."

You are free of course to interpret as you will.

So it's still in bad taste, but not outright racist.

Yet Suarez got an 8-game ban in England for using the word 'negrito'

He didn't just say it , he used it repeatedly to unnerve Evra, and then lied about it to officials.

As if Negrito was racist in the slightest.

And the English FA wants to give "culture lessons" but they can't even tell the difference between a slur and Negrito

"Negrito" being used to unnerve someone, was that really the FA's conclusion?

Well from video evidence the word that he used didn't please Evra that much, and i think he only kept saying it because it bothered Evra.

I could care less what 1 reckless idiot says, who btw isn't even officially connected to the club lol

Poor form from Paolo, but if the interpretation of this term means "black boy"....that isn't racist in the slightest. He could've done with just saying "boy" and that would've been the end of it, why he had to mention his skin color at all is a different matter all together.

Media sensationalism, I'd say.

it's ridiculous that every word gets interpreted to create false scandal.. Hypocrisy.. If someone would've say: come to see our white little boy (pointing to veratti) would it be racial too? Damn some people are so delicate, just like little pansies... Lol.. 70 years ago, millions were losing their life on the battlefield, and now some men gets intrigued by the fact that someone called a football player in a diminutive manner: Little black boy... Get a sex change if you are so fragile to things like false racism. Racism is what Hitler did, not this sh*t

Well, what's Italian for the English N-word, then?

Lol yeah, becasue it'd be the same thing if we said "our little white boy". Because black African nations colonizing Europe was a thing.

again, interpreting one sentence from a post, and not the post as a whole... LEarn to read first!

Like with anything context is important in these situations.

And "Black boy" is not a racist term when used without malicious intent as far as I'm concerned.
