Took about 20 apparently. Gateshead conceded a last minute equaliser too. Depressing 7 hour journey home.ThreadKiller said:

But that was just the original First Division. History only really started with the formation of the Premier League.stackitsteve said:5 -

Putting my tin hat on here but can someone please explain the issue? He is dressed as a Harlem Globetrotter, I don't recall any that were white, why is this considered racist or insensitive? Its not as if he is being derogatory in any way, the Harlem Globetrotters were brilliant!Fiiish said:

Would you go to a work fancy dress party and paint your skin in order to match the ethnicity of the person you are imitating?0

This is the exact same thing as Diane Abbott at Darts, except Griezmann is famous.Fiiish said:Would you go to a work fancy dress party and paint your skin in order to match the ethnicity of the person you are imitating?
How is it racist3 -
Well yes, if it was not my intention to insult, does this mean the Hartlepool fans who came to us painted blue as Smurfs or orange as Oompa Loompas were being insensitive? Please help me understand why it is racist, surely its more of a tribute?Fiiish said:Would you go to a work fancy dress party and paint your skin in order to match the ethnicity of the person you are imitating?

Well no because Smurfs and oompa loompas are fictional creatures whereas blackface has historically been used to mock people of colour and is generally considered a social taboo, even if the wearer has no intention of being derogatory.
Would it be acceptable for example if a white actor used blackface to portray MLK or Obama in a film?12 -

Well that would not happen, would it? I like to think that a black actor would be cast in those roles, totally different scenario.Fiiish said:Well no because Smurfs and oompa loompas are fictional creatures whereas blackface has historically been used to mock people of colour and is generally considered a social taboo, even if the wearer has no intention of being derogatory.

My question is why is it considered a taboo to go to a fancy dress party as a black character? I could understand if he went as a slave or some other stereotypical character, but the fact is that the Harlem Globetrotters were all black, him wearing black makeup completes the image and it is in no way meant as any insult. Would you go to a Fancy dress party as the Incredible Hulk in just a pair of torn trousers?
