Lewis Hamilton’s Name Is Blackened In Spain
LEWIS Hamilton is RACE STORM.
The Sun sees “VILE TAUNTS” - taunts so file it overlooks the obvious pun and instead leads with “LEWIS IN RACISM STORM”.
The fear is that Hamilton has been pulled over by the police, suspected of DWB (Driving While Black) and on the receiving end of some heavy sarcasm.
Reading on we learn that Hamilton has been in Spain, going round and round and round and round (etc.) Barcelona’s Montmelo circuit.
Witnesses hear shouts of “black s***” and “f****** black”. Strapped to an engine, earplugs in ears and helmet on head, snuggled into his cockpit, Hamilton is unlikely to have heard the insults.
But he may have seen the banners, or banner, the one which read “Hamilton, you speak a lot of s***”.
Three pictures of Spanish race fans. One raises a finger (“abuse”). Another raises a finger on each hand (“vicious”). A third pulls cups her hands around her mouth (“yells”).
Racism is a stain on humanity, and the Sun is trying hard to spot some and show it to Hamilton.
“SPAIN MAY LOSE ITS GRAND PRIX OVER LEW ABUSE,” says the Sun.
It’s the talking point. It may very well turn out to be the F1 season’s talking point, vying with the Smints or Xtra garage forecourt debate for prominence as the cars go round and round and round and round…

If Spaniards are “racist”, then they’ve more than earned the right to be - and be respected for it. If your country was invaded by Arabs/African Muslims, then ruled by them for over 700 years - during which time hundreds of thousands, if not over a million, of your countrymen and especially women, were dragged back to North Africa to be slaves for sultans, sheiks, pashas, and of course, labour for who knows what - then by god you have totally earned your right to be racist against blacks!!!!

Your grasp of history appears to be as sound as your grasp of the legislation relating to the incitement of racial hatred. I suggest that you brush up on both.

Excellent comments, although I definitely like J Hunt’s words of wisdom, thanks.

Hamilton, Henry, Eto’o…..why do the Spanish keep offending the worlds top sportsmen?…..It really is a mystery.

Jesse Owens rose above it all to rub some little mustachioed twat up the wrong way, and he ( the little mustachioed twat, not Owens) went on to start WW2 shortly afterwards.
Maybe Hamilton had better tone down the excellence a bit.

In the words of Gandhi “first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win”. As long as Lewis Hamilton is dignified, talented, intelligent, the racist [Rigid fools] will continue to protest and try to shake him. This is simply because [being black] he contradicts everything they believe to be true. He is firm evidence against their warped doctorine - they are truely troubled by his success and therefore try to fight him the only way they know how; engaging in ignorant playground banter based on superficial difference. But, Lewis is pure excellence, young and intelligent - they cannot touch his talent. He will reflect on it and then rise above it, continuing with his job - driving. Whether it’s Tiger Woods, Thierry Henry or Lewis Hamilton, excellence is the best deterent to racism.

Lewis should ignore these sweaty, onion eating, EU loving, donkey-dropping, bull-murdering, Spanish dago twats and get on beating that cheat Alonso in the upcoming season.
