Spanish racial abuse toward Hamilton...
on: February 04, 2008, 15:04:40 PM
well the "clever" Spanish have yet again showed their intelligence with a fine display :

Quote
Formula One star Lewis Hamilton says he has been left saddened after being subjected to racist abuse in Spain.
The 23-year-old Briton was taunted by spectators during pre-season testing at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona.

"The truth is I feel somewhat sad," he said. "I love this country, especially the city of Barcelona. The people in Spain have always been very warm."


Quote
Although the FIA did not spell out the sanctions, either circuit could lose its place in the championship if local organisers fail to deal with any further incidents of racist behaviour.

The Spanish motorsports federation (RFE) issued a stinging condemnation of fans who abused Hamilton and declared its "absolute repulsion" at the incidents in Barcelona.

"The Federation wants to show its absolute repulsion at these incomprehensible incidents and demonstrate its support and solidarity for the McLaren team and especially their driver Lewis Hamilton," said a statement.

"This type of idiots that are confusing sporting rivalry with violence should be aware that the Federation has a zero-tolerance approach to this issue."

The statement said the abuse came from a small and unrepresentative group of spectators present.

It commended circuit organisers for removing offensive banners and said the RFE had asked them to strengthen measures to avoid similar incidents in future.



What were they thinking? Makes me wish to god we had someone better than Bernie Ecclestone in charge whod really make them pay for that.

Im annoyed that it is being associated with the spanish in general.  These are indivduals, not mob menality of a country backing Alonso.

Blatant abuse, but I do believe in truths, our family are Hamiltons, my family have a tartan, my kids asked me about Lewis, is he related they said, I said, its impossible hes related, our routes are in Scotland, unless Lewiss family rewrote their roots, hes black, blacks are not Scottish.
the only way he got the Hamilton names by slavery, years ago we enslaved black people, its not uncommon slaves used  the names of their new owners.

not a proud past .

Slavery
The Hamiltons were another Ayrshire family with slavery connections. Robert Hamilton owned three Jamaican estates: Pemberton Valley, Rozelle, and Carcluie. In Ayrshire the family had property at Bourtreehill and Sundrum. In 1754 Robert acquired Rozelle estate, Ayr, and built a mansion house there in 1760.

more likely his name is from his elswhere.

Familes in african/sub asia usually take the family name from the 1st name of the head of the house.

so somwhere down the line there would be a guy named hamilton hamilton & it was at the point the surname stuck

also another way is where the son would take the fathers 1st name
like the surname samson for example.. son of sam, or johnson son of john, or davidson, son of david, etc.

I agree with you whole heartedly but it apalls me that they were allowed to get away with it. I honestly dont believe you could do that in England without at least getting reported (more likely a kicking to be fair). Im all for abusing the opposition but like every sports fan knows you can get away with almost anything but not being rasicst.

twat
go watch other sports. they are exactly the same in other spanish sports
where black people participate.

the GP is prob. the biggest annual world sporting event they hold, which is why your probably looking through your talking sh*t coloured glasses.

Just watch a spanish football on TV & if theres a black player for the away team, theres nearly always monkey chanting.

No need for the attitude.  Yes I do watch La Liga from time to time and the Italian league.  Since when was racial abuse in football exclusive to the spanish primera rather than most of europe.  

Again, individuals in majority of thousands.  Not a country.
