Claude from AFTV had his life ruined after making an ill-judged comment about Son during a north London derby, he was kicked off the channel and died not long after. He was from an older generation, my generation and I'm partly of west african heritage and sometimes with our generation old habits can die hard. Claude came across as a decent bloke who made an error in the heat of the moment and the fall-out could quite easily have been managed better. It's when common sense goes out the window as people go running for cover and panic when this subject comes up that gets my goat. Fear of retribution never brought intelligence or resolution to any issue, it just makes it worse. That's how totalitarianism works and I'm afraid the bully boys and girls are using this issue for their own ends.
Sometimes a situation arises that shows humanity a possibility for global beneficial change, to every aspect of the planet, not only human kind. It might be that in such a time the world slows down, and begins to heal itself. It might mean all flights stop. All traffic in general stops. For a fleeting moment in the history of Earth nature has more space. Their is less noise pollution which affects the natural world. Their is less chemical pollution which affects everything. All of a sudden people have more time. A Global wave of empathy and togetherness helps heal centuries old animosity. On the other side, those profiting from power, become irrelevant. People on the lower end of the wealth spectrum became the most important people in society. This power shift towards community and integrity, ethics over ethnicity, had a lot of sociopathic narcissists concerned. Certain political tropes became obsolete. Nobody could shame the unemployed, because everyone went on social security. Nobody had to go and explain themselves to an advisor. The system had to change. So the usual methods had to be used to reinstate the status quo. Business charts were created to ensure weak minded people became part of a digital lobbying community. This has ensured certain scientific breakthroughs, with provable and actionable data, didn't hit media saturation point and only popped into the news for a short period of time. It is obviously not in certain people's benefit for enlightenment to be seen as easily achievable. A while ago i just figured, ideas are free, why not give them away for free. It's led to some remarkable achievements, none of which i generally talk about. Often ideas i could never actually accomplish. Often random chance of knowing the right coder in Germany to push an idea to have a hack-a-thon to create an emergency system. Once the idea is seeded, it can germinate into a flower This is how an idea from a stranger can inspire another stranger, who can garner a community, and decide, this was easy to accomplish, lets expand it out over an entire health system. All done in two weeks, because everyone had time. I love learning and this video really helps explain things. So thank you for taking the time. Regaining control of time is how we potentially fix nature for example, as silly as it may sound.
Glad to hear your wise thoughts. I've learned some folks would rather 'be right' than learn to do the right thing. I’m certain Bentancur didn’t mean any malice, but I think he’s also aware enough to know those kinds of jokes wouldn't be appropriate in a mainstream interview. No matter his intentions, there’s no need for comments with racist undertones, especially towards a player who’s faced it his entire career. Knowing Son, he’ll probably be the one to try and cheer Bentancur up and smooth things over with the fans. He’s too good for this world lol
Is it really an apology when you say " I wouldn't;t do anything to hurt you or anyone " when what you've done is be racist to a whole country? As well as the skipper of your football club. First thing Ange thought when he found out? He's gone.
There is intent, and there is context. If a starving kid ate a black jack and got labelled a racist would the accuser be considered privileged for not understanding the kid was homeless and hungry. I agree with you Paul but i think this why it can be hard to explain.
Hi Paul, thanks for being willing to speak so straight forwardly about this. Some recent research is suggesting that narcissism is essentially a defence against intense shame. This view however, doesn’t make power addicted sociopaths any less dangerous. Learning from game theory; be cooperative/kind, but don’t be a push-over. peace and love
Thanks for the etymological lesson Paul. There is however, “neither Jew nor Greek” are we to condemn Christ the Lord Himself as racist for confronting us ALL with His discerning lesson? Sports, business even wars have clear reasons to be battled between political states but people within these states can only really be divided by who they serve “God or mammon” and even then which god? If we are fairdinkum going to claim we all have the same values as a single species we better find out authentically what they are so we can identify the parameters to be able to then categorise (as you have) individuals/groups as sociopathic/insensitive; race is only relative as everyone’s DNA will attest.
And this is why I love you mate! Saw an interview with a certain Spurs YouTuber (name withheld to protect the disgusting) and the racist and transphobic toxicity he spewed under the "I'm not prejudiced but…" banner was truly shocking.
Max Igan, A fellow Aussie , Is fully awake to how society and the so-called elites control everything. These people certainly have zero empathy and compassion for the vast majority of the population
Bentancur would be look same with his cousin for me too but I wouldn’t speak it out in public as a joke lol i can feel that he didn’t mean to be a racist he is just uneducated
I disagree with you on this Paul. Humans by nature are evil. Humans know the difference between good and evil what C.S. Lewis calls "Natural Law" but our individual desires has always been self interest. Thomas Hobbes called this brute situation of state of nature the Leviathan. That's why free people make a social contract and give some of our natural rights to the government to tame our passions and instinct for evil.
Uruguayans are racists and it is in their culture. Luis Suarez, it's nothing we speak about them like that The only winner is the beautiful game of Football COYS ❤
Well said, great video ❤ People who moan about woke or “can’t say anything anymore” never have anything interesting to say or contribute anyway. In my experience they’re boring people.
Big up, Paul! Glad to hear a football fan talk about this with such knowledge and sensitivity. A lot of what you were saying is what I learned in my anthropology classes in college. I believe we live in a racist society, but we can fight it and change it if we are more mindful of what we say and do, and learn from our mistakes that hurt other people.
Thank yoy for your video. As a korean, same time as a spurs fan, I felt like i was very sad when bentancur got injured his knee, who left the pitch with sad tears… in last season. because I've been loving him. I hope to it's a just bad appreciation about the notion in racism of him
It's like calling Bentancur a beggar, since that's what Uruguayans are. Later, I would apologize to Bentancur, saying I didn't mean to hurt his feelings. And then I say, "but it's true though, you Uruguayans are beggars! These jokes are appropriate in Korea!" How would Bentancur and Uruguayans feel? Use that thing between your ears, and stop begging on the streets, Abombaos!

Absolute bollocks
When I saw Robert Andrich playing this morning I immediately thought he could pass as your son Paul.

I found your talk to be very insightful and truly honest. Im with you on this mate.
I thought this was a football channel.
You typical Pommie Bastard! Raving on without informing me about what Bentencur acually said! Your extended rave was, however, moderately accurate.
And this is why I love you mate! Saw an interview with a certain Spurs YouTuber (name withheld to protect the disgusting) and the racist and transphobic toxicity he spewed under the "I'm not prejudiced but…" banner was truly shocking.
Well said my friend. 🫶🏽

Now I understand why Bentancur never passes the ball to Sonny.
Uruguayans are racists and it is in their culture.
Luis Suarez, it's nothing we speak about them like that

COYS ❤
Well said, great video ❤

You’re a genuinely fantastic human being.

벤탄쿠르는 인성이 쓰레기임, 부상복귀 했을 때 가장 축하해준 쏘니에게 역겨운 말을 했으니까
인종차별발언에도 아무일도 하지 않고 있는 토트넘구단은 아시아로 절대로 투어오지마라!!!!

Wise words.
Ben bit his own foot with his own mouth and the long arms! Some people just never learn trying to find happiness and amusement in their own stupidity!
