Description

John Barnes has said that racism is still rife in British society even if the problem is not overt as it once was, explaining: “black people go through invisible banana skins being thrown at them and unspoken racial abuse every day of their lives.” Raheem Sterling was allegedly racially abused during his side’s 2-0 defeat by Chelsea on Saturday, with the Manchester City forward later accusing the media of ‘fuelling racism’ in their negative coverage of young black players.
