can someone explain the bannas <->black man connection to me?

They used to call us monkeys back in the day 🙁

ummm again then black man <-> monkey connection is missing for me 😕

kinda funny they should throw bananas thought, being from central europe i distinctly remember waiting in lines for bananas under their centrally plannel system...

the connection is:

black people are dark, monkeys are dark
black people come from africa, the origin of mankind, so they thought to be "closer" to the common ancestor to monkeys and man.

thats it? Even with the moral/racist issue aside, thats the dumbest analogy/stretch i've ever heard..

i take it it's an american thing?
You're from Michigan, aren't you? BUCKEYES > YOU


hahah yeah yeah just cuz we had a new quarter back.... Do you remeber what happened last year??

BUCK the FVCKEYES!

it's not a conscious analogy, i was just putting into words what they visually observe.
 
Two banana peels != Generalizations about all Russians. That's two people out of what...20,000 at the game?

People need to get their heads screwed on straight.
 
Europe has a lot of racial/ethnic tension and a lot of it manifests in sports competitions.

French club Paris St. Germain has an area where only white fans are welcome; another section is open to Paris' Arab and black immigrants.

But those who study the issue say racist chants go well beyond traditional rivalries. A study by the European Monitoring Center on Racism and Xenophobia, based in Vienna, Austria, found that one in 10 European fan-club Web sites contains racist slogans. In Italy, that number jumped to one in three. Several sites included the words to stadium chants, such as "I'd rather be a beloved patriot than a Turk" and "Gas a jew, jew, jew, stick him in the oven."

That is the worst article ever written. It wants the reader to believe they did this because she's black, but there was no link made whatsoever about that, besides the thing about racial minorities in another story altogether. How do we know they did this because she was black, or maybe she sucked? Nobody reading that article would know.

Explain why they throw bananas at players who suck? Why not tomatos? And why don't they throw bananas at ALL players who suck? And why did they only do it this time? Come on man, it's obviously because the dude is black.

The article may suck, but hockey fans know of a few incidents where black dudes were called monkeys by opposing players. Even a monkey gesture by... Chris Simon, was it ? He's Native American.

It's happened. Come on, I thought you were Canadian eh ?
