Second a lot of you people’s anger is directed towards Messi and the football team not the nation itself- before Messi non of you guys were talking about Argentina and ther history, so let’s stop the hypocrisy please
Portugal started slave trade- how come none of you righteous people dislike the country for that?
franvincoop: So in your mind there are no blacks in Argentina? Or does "none" have another meaning I don't know?
Kobojunkie: Argentina has zero blacks? You mean the soccer team? How many whites, Arabs, East or West Asians are on the Nigerian, Ghanaian, Camerounian, etc teams?
Why not educate yourself more about this topic before posting stuff. There are lots of videos and resources online. Even the link you posted is telling you there is sytemic govt policy to get rid of blacks as shown below
Kukutente23: Genocide? I've never heard this before. Where's the evidence for this I don't know what you mean by diseases. Do you mean they targeted them for diseases like using a chemical or biological weapon or what Nazis ran almost everywhere they could even up to Canada after WW2
They sent them to front of war in droves without weapons, denied them medical care during epidemics, erased them from census rolls, and instituted official government policy of whitening that brought whites from all over
Saint99: People are just calling Messi out because of his affiliation to Israel. It is his choice. You don't force people to dislike who you dislike. As a professional, he had tried his best to keep his interest in the low profile yet people won't leave him alone. Some days ago one Arab commentator stated that Messi was not showed the red card because of the system was controlled by the Jewish lobbies.
I never knew Messi was affiliated to Israel. How? It says everywhere that Argentina was a heaven for Jew-murdering Nazi criminals
franvincoop: You are so naive about the same topic of which you are the OP. For you to believe there are zero blacks in Argentina shows the pain of being a Ronaldo supporter. Do you consider David Trezeguet a white or a black man? If you consider him a black man, then know he is an Argentine. Stop this Messi hatred, it will take you nowhere
I'm neither a Messi nor Rinaldo fan. I'm just an honest guy. After carefully watching videos of the greatest players, I came to the conclusion that Messi is the greatest - without necessarily being his fan.
As for blacks, I'm going by their own census. See below
Australia, US and New Zealand once had only white immigration policy.
Looking at black ruled nations I would not blame any nation from having such policy. Not when blacks run away from their own black ruled nation to the so called racist white ruled nation.
Well, Argentina is CURRENTLY called the most racist nation on earth - and they are proud of it!
Deepthoughts: which messi is a nice guy?, somebody who is so egocentric but masking it with fake introvertive appearance, this is a player whom by himself said that he doesn't change jersey with non Argentine players,vozinha the cape Verde heroic goalkeeper stated that when he approached messi for jersey change messi said he would only give him the jersey in the tunnel!, this same messi plays with an amulet worn around his leg,if an African did that the whole world would shout juju use!,Messi is a very good footballer better than Ronaldo but I prefer Ronaldo because he is more friendly to everyone n does a lot of philanthropy, it's no wonder Ronaldo has such large follwershp on social media.
Messi is OBVIOUSLY a decent and humble fellow NOT always being aggressive like Ronaldo and others. Here's the Vozinha you're talking about below, just gushing about Messi
Magnetic010: You don’t seem to get my point? I am not doubting the fact that they are racist, God knows I will never ever defend Argentina but I have always had an issue with blacks complaining about other countries not featuring people of our skin tone in their sports team—-Why do we feel that other countries must have someone of African decent in their sports team? Have you ever heard of Asians complain about the same thing? Like Asians say America or Germany is racist towards them because they have never featured an Asian man in their national team?
It’s only we black people that keep complaining and crying of racism yet even within us here- we loathe each other
No other nation historically eliminated their black population and proud of it, and always using racist gestures against black players and blacks generally.
ViceGovernor: Look I understand you are hardcore fan of the assistant goat Messi, but you cannot come and twist reality that we all have been seeing in all Argentina matches this world cup ......the fact remains Egypt was robbed.
If Argentina had been eliminated the major sponsors of the tournament would have withdrawn their support, even FIFA president said he suffered with Argentina when they were trailing in a game, now how on God's green earth would you expect us to believe that those guys are not favoring Argentina?
The whole world saw the robbery.
My friend Egypt was leading BY TWO GOALS WITH LESS THAN 15 MINS LEFT! How will FIFA or anyone let that happen to a team they want to win?? In a world cup match when you have 15 minutes left and one team is leading 2-0, the game is over! Infact when I saw how Switzerland was out-playing Argentina and it was 1-1, I stopped watching because I knew Switzerland would win. Only later did I learn the story changed with a red card. FIFA and nobody could have predicted that red card! So I blame Egypt totally. All they had to do was prevent Argentina from scoring 3 goals in 15 minutes and the couldn't do it!
Kukutente23: How did they whiten or disappear them
Kukutente23: So we should take the comments of pained Pendu fans as gospel?
Kukutente23: I don't think there was any country in this world that was not racist in those period in your screenshot Be it Europe or Americas, Africa or Asia. Slavery ended in Saudi Arabia in 1970 for example The reason why you don't find many blacks migrating to Argentina today is because it's basically a poor country. Even Nigeria seems to have a better economy when compared with Argentina. The whitening policy was a move to bring in a lot of white people into the country. I doubt a move to bring in a lot of blacks into their country will make sense to most Argentinians today since the country is already poor
It is not a matter of pained Pendu fans. I believe Messi is the all time greatest footballer. This is a matter of historical FACT. They used blacks literally as cannon fodder during their war of independence. Waves and waves of unarmed blacks were put in the front. Then there were epidemics that killed off more poor black areas. Then they had official government policy of erasing blacks and whitening their society by importing whites from all over. Then they stopped counting blacks entirely as they said there were no more blacks in their country. There are videos like this below and others that go into more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N2LR0PLbiw?is=2xDOBLzgzzDLJcnQ
Magnetic010: imagine if an Asian person says he cannot support Nigeria because we do not have anyone of Asian heritage in our squad; are we also racist too
Actually if both Benin Republic and Togo have whites and we have had official govt policy of getting rid of whites, then yes we can be said to be very racist
Kobojunkie: If you cannot accept that even your beloved Nigerians are racists, then you already showed yourself a biased debater.
As I already made clear, racism is not unique to any one people or country here, not even Argentina, which you are deadset on making it all about.
I don't think you know definition of racist. I think you're confusing racism with tribalism. Nigerians are very welcoming to non-black foreigners - even more than fellow Nigerians. Argentina happens to have been intentionally built on exclusion of black people. Hence lots of videos like this below
Racoon: It is likely another France vs Argentina final with France winning this time around except if providence says otherwise. This is my prediction.
Wrong! It will be England vs France for finals and France will easily beat England. Then Spain will beat Argentina for third place
Kobojunkie: Nope! You only showed you are desperate to keep the narrative going, even in the face of evidence that shows it ain't an Argentina-only issue or an Argentina-is-wrong situation.
You could start with this video below, then do further research
ViceGovernor: When you are fighting an opp and the ref decides to tie his hands up, regardless of the punches you have thrown before, once the opponents hands are tied he will be pummeled blue black.
Egypt would have gotten rid of Arhentina if not for biased refereeing. The wrongful cancellation of that goal brought down their spirit, that was when they realized the game was 11 vs 11+ref and VAR.
Don't even get me started on Arhentina FIFA have been cheating opps for them right from the very first game when the assistant goat should have been shown a red card for a career threatening tackle.
They have played 450 minutes+ and they got 1 yellow card, every other team with less fouls than Argentina have gotten above 8_10 cards both yellow and red.
Should we talk about the penalty record They are the first team in the world cup history to get 8 penalties in 11 games.
Messi scored 7 goals in the last rigged world cup 85 percent of the goals na penalty (5).
Newborn babies can clearly see the injustice being done against other countries for Arhentina.
You'd have had a point if the referee, sensing that time was running out, awarded Argentina indiscriminate penalties for flimsy excuses. But no, they scored fair and square, aided by nothing. You ought be blaming Egypt for not defending their goal line for few more minutes and at least getting additional 30 minutes and maybe into penalties. I'm angry at Egypt not Argentina or ref
mynd1: Says someone who doesn't know between left and right... Una just they talk rubbish for here I swear.
As a female I bet you're looking at appearance. Probably secretly in love with Ronaldo Well, as men we're only considering football skills, and in that department there is NO COMPARISON!!!
mynd1: Which kind mumu talk be this? Just because Messi they play small countries at the world cup+ FIFA him don pass Ronaldo abi? You self weh talk am no say na nonsense talk. We will take him seriously when he scores hatrick against countries like Spain. Mtcheew
Now I know for sure you're just being mischievous. Anybody mentioning Ronaldo in same sentence as Messi is a joker
Kobojunkie: . Hostility usually draws from hate. So, definitely hate!
2. Well, hating the illegal invasion of one's country is a form of hate. I would not go as far as to label it xenophobic in all cases.
3. You are literally describing the same thing.
4. That's not true! Some Nazi's fled to other places like Brazil, Chile, the Middle East, Egypt, and some hid in Europe. We need to stop trying too hard to make Argentina stand out for the sake of it.
5. LOL... I read the rule, and I think it is funny! Why FIFA is attempting to regulate the speech of the players is beyond me. Shouldn't the fans be allowed to have a go at the issue instead?
6. Most Nigerians are tribalistic/racist. Let's not mince words on this! Even right here in the Western world, it is just as apparent.
Please stop saying Nigerians are racist if you still want people to take you seriously in this forum
And please stop comparing Argentina's massive shielding of Nazi war criminals to other SA nations
Mercyjoy28: According to one report I know, their country was full of black before and blacks made their country great, but a time came when with deception, wiped out the whole black race
They used a number of methods but it boils down to same thing; genocide
Kobojunkie: Nope! You only showed you are desperate to keep the narrative going, even in the face of evidence that shows it ain't an Argentina-only issue or an Argentina-is-wrong situation.
So show another post from any part of the world that alleges same. I suspect you don't know much about this topic and just debating it blind. Why not research on it, watch some videos, then come back and tell me I was right!
