<snip>
Dressed in his usual sharp suit and tie and the same designer duffel coat he was wearing that night, he arrived late to meet the Guardian, as he was so shaken by the Chelsea fans who wouldn’t let him board a train because he was black that he now felt afraid to take public transport. Instead he had been sitting in traffic in his car. “What happened has left me really afraid,” he said.

Souleymane shook his head in disbelief. “Frankly, I was stunned. I didn’t know what to say. I was a French citizen who had left his office and wanted to get home, and foreigners were stopping me getting on a train to get home. This is 2015 … This talk of black skin or white skin, that’s something I don’t like. And I didn’t know why [it was happening].”

He tried twice to get on to the train but said what happened was very frightening. “I didn’t force it because there were a lot of them, around 30 or 40 people. I wasn’t going to fight them. I had my wife and children waiting for me at home. I’m a father, I have to set a good example.”

He said he realised they were Chelsea fans quite quickly. “They didn’t speak French, they spoke English. They were mentioning Chelsea. After some words, they said the word ‘racist’.”

1. Poor guy if he thinks that is something he should come and try living in Ferguson, Missouri.

I agree with him, this is 2015 and yet we have racist asshole pretending it is still the 19th century. And not just in America.

Pathetic.

2. Many English football fans are notoriously racist

but it's bad enough pulling off this madness at home, but in France???

4. No shame.

It is like some are born without a shame or guilty gene. They are always the victim in everything, even when they are looking for new targets.

Sounds like they screwed up, France has hate laws yes? Still...2015 and a black man cannot get on a bus in France due to racist wankers. That's some pathetic shit right there.

6. You can strike "English" from that, I'm afraid

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.S._Lazio_fans#Rivalries

The ultras consider both Livorno and Atalanta to be among their greatest enemies. Both of these rivalries were born due to political ideologies, with both Livorno and Atalanta having predominately left-wing fans, while Lazio's hardcore is far-right. Lazio icon Paolo Di Canio and Livorno icon Cristiano Lucarelli have both performed controversial ideological salutes to fans during some of their matches.

9. It is true that there are racists fans on many teams in Europe

but the traveling hooligans are associated with English football.

3. Chelsea is a terrible club

Owned by a Russian oligarch gangster. Coached by a man who once gouged the eye of an opposing coach on live TV after losing. Its captain, John Terry, is a racist, as their supporters proudly claim.

As someone else said, Millwall with money.

5. Many of us who follow the Premiership call it "Chelski" or "CSKA London"

for that reason. (CSKA Moscow is one of the top clubs in the Russian capital. )

10. Chelsea was a racist club long before

Abramovich purchased it.
