I can only imagine the blow out, if Suarez hadn't been reprimanded soo harshly, the BLACK community would probably be in upheaval. I know that back in the US it just takes a bad look or some small gesture and BAM your a racist bastard. People, especially black people in first world countries such as the US play the black card whenever things don't go their way. Then they wonder why they're victims of racial slurs.
If you associate words like Negro, WHICH IS NOT a racial slur, nigger, yes I said it and I'm sorry but I'm from Latin America, I was brought up with very little of this racial crap people here in Europe and the US live with, im my opinion I don't own black people the same thing as white people, I have plenty of Black people in my family background.
I find it ridiculous that white people can't say the N word, obviously!, But black call each other the racial and slave name that the white people gave them....
That 8 match ban is ridiculous, but what can you do. The FA is as senile and ignorant as the UEFA and FIFA.
