In order for it to be used by as many people as possible (or to achieve its dissemination objective, unless it is an academic writing and, therefore, self-referential) it must necessarily have references world of literature, cinema or pop culture in general. It makes the writing less serious even when talking about serious things, and it distributes the reader some reference points that they can schematically hold on to while understanding the text. Yes, we do not make the rules, but in this round it is difficult for us not to find these references, but to choose an appropriate amount for the number of bars imposed by the Great mother rule, or the one that says that if you write a pippone nobody reads you. The first thing that came to mind, for example, are Party theory by Carl Schmitt, Palombella rossa by Nanni Moretti e Alien by Ridley Scott. But perhaps it is better to take stock of the situation in what happened last night in paris.
The footballers of PSG me Basaksehir, after the fourth man – the Romanian Sebastian Coltescu – indicates to the referee the assistant coach of the Turkish team – the Cameroonian Pierre Webo – with the phrase “This black”, they leave the camp in protest. The Romanian sentence can be translated as “that black boy”, where “negru” indicates the color of the skin and does not have a derogatory meaning. The problem, raised immediately and forcefully by the attacker Demba Ba, it was not the offensive intention of the fourth man, but “why when you address white boys you only use the term” boys “and when you address black boys you use the term” black boys “? Also, we add and probably still I was alive I would also ask Franz fanonWhy is a man of almost 40 years called “child”, in an eternal black-skinned childhood, that “half devil half child” that refers to the burden of the white man by Rudyard Kipling?
The teams, compact, with PSG immediately showing solidarity with their Turkish teammates, refused to return to the field and it was decided that the match would resume the next day, with a different fourth man. This is where it comes to mind Palombella rossa, with the only legitimate question still being the one that was also asked Nanni moretti, but he was faced with the expression “kitsch”: “black boy”, Mr. Sebastián Coltescu? But where are you going to get these expressions from? But how does he speak? Words are important. They are especially important in a context such as the world’s best-known and most followed club soccer tournament, in a context in which figures like Coltescu are adequately prepared through awareness and behavior courses, where an assistant trainer cannot be called a “black boy” but Mr. Webo, or where you at least have enough English to express yourself without looking like a troglodyte. The offensive intention or not of Mr. Coltescu it doesn’t matter at all in this matter, where everything revolves around its insufficiency in a world that seeks to become a place of equal dignity for all its inhabitants.
Alien from Ridley scott We came up with it because, in fact, they “come off the fucking walls.” This is not even the time to come up with a sensible thought about Coltescu’s attitude and watch the Knights of the White Man on the web stand up. against the benefactors and politically correct (that is, everything that questions not only the primacy of white skin over the rest of the inhabitants of this planet, but also the right to express it with impunity) that we find the tweet of the Turkish president (and avid supporter of Basaksehir, as we explain here) Recep Tayyip Erdogan who lashed out at racism.
We are grateful that the Sultan found the time, between the repression of internal political dissent and the extermination of a Kurdish village, to underline how much he is against racism on a soccer field. We sincerely appreciate less the strongly racist policies that you implement every day in your country, which can only show us how there is the will to use this gesture to wipe your face in front of Europeans.
The gesture of the PSG and Basaksehir players was epochal, necessary and that we are sure will make school in the battle – in the stadiums and in the streets – against racism. Protect him from the speculations of despotic presidents and the contradictions of people like Neymar, ready to leave a soccer field in protest against racism and then sit at the same table with his friend Jair Bolsonaro, the Brazilian Matteo Salvini, we believe that it is the humble work that anti-racists left out that they can and should do. game box.
To speak of Bolsonaro, Erdogan and Salvini as a comment on an unacceptable expression of a fourth man during a Champions League match is not to ramble or want to take away what happened on that court, trying to divert attention from Pierre Webo and Demba Ba: is the same mechanism that explains, and with this the circle of references is closed, Carl Schmitt in Party theory: with the party theory theorized by Lenin we go from a war to a “conventional game” – which we can see in the beautiful anti-racist initiatives of UEFA, with the aim of lock the reactions of players who are victims of racism in an institutional cage on the football fields – to an absolute enmity, which knows no limits, regulations or conventions – which we like to associate with the same uncompromising reaction of Demba Ba and Pierre Webo, who leaves the field and cannot afford to forgive anyone precisely with same intransigence shown in Paris.
