Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt.

Racism has reared its ugly head in the footballing world on a few occasions this year. Most notably with Luis Suarez and England captain John Terry.

Last week Suarez was charged by the FA for using “insulting words in reference to Manchester United defender Patrice Evra's colour” and was given an 8 match ban alongside a £40,000 fine.

This has caused people to react in two different ways. Many people are glad he’s been given such a severe ban as there really is no place for it in society let alone football. But there have been certain sections who’ve reacted in support of Suarez, obviously the majority of them are Liverpool fans.

Facebook: Racism is funny too.

It seems Facebook aren’t happy to accept that their site will slowly become redundant in the next few years; instead they want to self-sabotage their own organisation before the inevitable happens.

Following on from the last post (Keep up Facebook) where Facebook said it was fine to laugh in the face of rape victims, it seems the social network site still hasn’t gotten to grips with the internet yet. It still has the stance of “add a humorous or satirical tag and everything‘s fine.”
