Yep, context is everything. He was naive putting it on a public forum, he meant no offence to anyone and I'd imagine he's embarrassed if he has.

There's the usual tribal shit too, plenty are choosing to be offended in the hope he gets punished/banned.

Go on, educate us. As someone's mentioned, if KDB was compared to the Milky Bar kid would it be offensive?

That imagery is deemed offensive because it was used to demean black people, I get why people don't like the image and it being compared to a young Mendy but like I said above, context is everything.

Bernardo is clearly not racist. But that tweet was stupid and was always going to cause offence. But like I say if you don’t see how then you won’t be swayed by me or anyone else explaining.

Looking at that it was a really stupid tweet! Bern living up to the stereotype that footballers really are thick!

Because a huge % of millennial's in today's world are the worst offended pathetic cunts that have ever existed....and that's a fuckign fact.

His tweet was harmless for the mentally sane that exist out there as anyone with half a brain knows he is not racist (its his fuckign mate ffs !!!!)............... but he should also know that by tweeting it , it would create the shit, that it has done , amongst the (Mainly ) millennial peasants.

He comes from a country where they put those images on their nut spread without batting an eye lid - so that needs to be taken into account too - if anything his representatives need a slap for letting him do it.

Nobody needs a slap , nothing needs to be done . It is not an issue for anybody . I just don't see the need for any public discussion about this .

People getting offended for those who aren't offended. A strange world we live in now.

Is this what the word 'snowflake' was christened for?

My two cents: don’t think Bernardo meant anything sinister by it but it was naive to post this and especially on a public forum.

That image though is so racist it belongs in the 1800s. Is it still on a product these days? Defies belief.

mate - totally understand where you’re coming from but we need to be totally serious about what is racist and what is ignorant/stupid/insensitive. 150% bernie isn’t a racist and this ‘incident’ shouldn’t be filed under the racism banner.
