Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2869763, member: 8215"] I agree we've come a long way, for sure. But that's why I threw the *** analogy at Nashy earlier. In 20 years, or 40 years time, is it all of a sudden going to be okay to call someone a ******? Because right now, we're observing the LGBT community go through exactly what black people went through [I]not that long[/I] ago. It might seem like ancient history to us, but it's not. Even if that opposition player has never been racially discriminated against, you can be pretty sure their parents were, and you can be absolutely sure their grandparents were. They weren't simply teased because they had black skin, they were literally treated as sub-human. That was their existence. So yeah, considering the disrespect shown to their family (via their lineage) then I would completely understand if someone in that position were to be offended. Surely it's not that hard to show respect for the struggles that others have lived and, you know, show a bit of sensitivity? [/QUOTE]
