Hamilton deserves more respect

As a Ferrari fan, I'm okay with this.

 

Ok so how many more native brazilian speakers do we need to tell the non native speakers what it actually means? **** sakes, another mountain out of a mole hill.

 

He can't!!!

 

I don’t see what Hamilton has anything to do with this. Seriously, why are people blaming him here?

Do people seriously think he’s behind this? I mean please explain the logic in a uh, sane, way. So that I can understand.

 

It's almost certainly the british media behind it.

 

Absolute nonsense. As I explained further back, the story broke in Brazil long before it was picked up by the F1/Motorsport or European news sites.

 

You're talking about the American word? IT HAS NEVER NOT BEEN OFFENSIVE. IT HAS NEVER MEANT "DUDE" OR "SUDDENLY" BECAME OFFENSIVE.
Going back 200+ years and especially since the American Civil War it has had extreme negative, derogatory, racist connotations. Only in the past 30-40 years has there been an attempt to diffuse and re-appropriate by the black community (with the respelling) and morph it into a casual tern of affection (with admittedly some problematic side effects.)

 

He can't shut up or he can't drive? BTW Alonso sucks mate!

 

Both, and alonso likes to dress womans underwear...

 

. . . so what kind of pain killers are they giving you laddie?

 

Exactly. And that word was not racist or offensive back during those years. Now somehow it's back to being racist if a white person or a conservative uses it. But it's carte blanche for black rappers and athletes.

When people used it colloquially as they do in brazil, that was great.

But then people started to want to be offended even when there was no ill intent. And that's where we are now.

 

100% incorrect

 

Whatever, it's a storm in a teacup. People should get over it.

Next Sunday is another race to worry about.

Will it be another walkover for Verstappen, or a surprise from Leclerc.

Unless we have a different winner this time, just to spice things.

Silverstone can test engine reliability, and tyre strategy too.

 

So do I but only when the women are wearing it

Oops, TMI

 

So people were just being racist on TV and to their friends and didn't know about it. Gotcha.

 

Stop posting F1 in F1!!!

 

What "people" are you talking about? it have never been remotely acceptable to use that word if you're not a person or color or perhaps within a extremely close knit mixed racial environment (like say a sports team.) It has never been said "casually" on TV among non POCs unless they were being portrayed as racists..

 

It is almost certain you have no proof lol. Post it. Just more LH hate and idiocy on Fchat. The absurd and over riding theme of this forum!

 

Instead of spending 5 seconds on verifying what it meant they RAN with it. It was a Brazilian interview in 2021. Why break it now?

 

What LH hate! This was insinuated before ANYONE mentioned LH could be behind it, when asked for proof, none.

Want the proof? How about all those british based media websites running with it? There's your proof. As per usual, not enough for you.

 

Was on CNN before UK news. Just saying.....

 

So PR discussions are ok now ?
Don’t get it.

 

Still that's less bizarre than what Hamilton wears.

 

speaking of...

we going snowboarding?

Snow expected at silverstone?

 

That punks ego will not be missed. The sooner he leaves maybe F1 can relax a bit.
