Mourinho is well known for his affinity towards African players & has no history of racism towards them, but his choice of words is quite inappropriate.

Turkish people are not African nah. Racism is a deeper concept. You can be black and be a racist to the white. You can be brown skin and beard racist to blacks and of course you can be white a be racist to blacks.

Mourinho as a professional should know that using anything monkey talks will land him in trouble. The Turkish FA saw it as a racist term towards them and not necessarily the African people.

Of course Mou nah my guy and not a racist(towards blacks) but he should know better.

But he's not a racist sha!

You can ask Drogba, Essien, Mikel, Eto'o, Mc Carthy, Solomon Kalou, Geremi Njitap, Yaya Toure, Victor Moses, Sadio Mane, Khalid Al-Muwallad and Nicolas Nkoulou!
The fact that he worked successfully with this players don't vindicate him.
Mourinho is a mecenery he knows African players have what he needs to deliver trophies.
He can still be racist I'm not saying he is though.

As much as it is inappropriate, people should not take these words too serious. No one is perfect.

Did my comment imply that Turks are Africans?

There are Africans in Galatasary & they are the ones that usually feel the negative weight of such monkey remarks. Infact Osimhen was interviewed after the match & asked about Mo's comment but he wisely evaded it.

I only pointed out that Mo has no history of racism even to Africans who are most times victims of racism in football.

Turkish FA has always been prefential towards Gala, jumping like monkeys can never be termed racist towards Turkish people, this is only racist towards blacks because of the historical context, there's no relation here and I dare say if it was the Gala coach that said it, he wouldn't be suspended!

Racism has different shades.

Someone who is racist towards black people might believe blacks are stupid and incapable of making good long term decisions but he might also believe blacks are strong and have high endurance hence - blacks make good slaves.

Well, you are free to believe any of these, provided through your words or actions, you don't make anyone feel less of a human on account of his skin colour.

I don't believe RACISM exists, we only have good people who love every people and bad people who hate humans, probably because of their skin colours. If a black uses racial slur on white like "white monkey 🐒" nobody will accuse him/her of racism but when white calls us monkey 🐒 all hell will loose. RACISM is rooted in inferiority and superiority complexes which degrade and dehumanise Africa as a continent and the black community. We need to stop this craziness.

Will you be ok with it, if a white man tells you that you jump like a monkey in the pitch? Education is not a yardstick for being intelligent or wise. You can be educated and still be very stupid.

You too understand school very well.
If someone calls you lion, you feel happy. But the same person calls you animal then you get furious.
The word monkey is well known as an abusive and racist word if use for any human, especially African. Any metaphor with monkey will not fly like that of lion. Every wrod has context.

Peace ✌️
The term 'racism' is often used to manipulate white people, with the implication that only they can be racist, while other races cannot be prejudiced against whites. For example, a group of fans insulted Bruno Fernandez by calling him 'a rat,' yet faced no consequences—perhaps because he is white, and there’s a perception that whites cannot be victims of racial discrimination. Among the fans who chanted and insulted Fernandez, some were black, and this was deemed acceptable. However, if a white person were to use racial slurs like 'monkey' or the n-word toward a black individual, it would provoke widespread outrage and chaos. RACISM IS JUST A MADE UP LIE TO KEEP AFRICANS RELEGATED AND LET US FEEL INFERIOR TO THE WHITE FOLKS.

I won't be mad if anyone says I jump like a monkey. It's not racism, it's anger issue. Bruno was called a rat openly and loudly and nothing happened. Jibes are part of the things that make football exciting and the most popular sport on earth.

The artificial Havard university you attended didn't tell you that when interpreting a statement context is always very important.

Literally as you have claimed is right but juxtaposing it with the context- refering to a black man directly can mean something else.

Monkey has always been used by the whites in their racial comments against the blacks and using it directly to a blackman and not a white person then the punishment is well deserved.


Go for a masters in a normal school to understand what context means.

I agree with you that Racism is rooted in Inferiority Complex. Unfortunately, so many prevailing factors suggest that we Blacks are inferior to Whites.

Stopping the "craziness" may not be that easy until we build up our self-esteem & self-worth and learn to depend less on the White man.

The one area where I think Africa is inferior compared to white is in wealth creation. This is something that takes time and is often passed down through generations.

He said the bench were jumping like monkeys. On that bench most are Turks.

He meant to say they were unnecessarily over reacting to incidents on the pitch.
