I am a man before anything else-Zidane speaks out
So finally Zidane opened his lips first time and revealed what actually provked him.
He, then, pronounced very tough words about my mother and my sister. I tried not to listen to him but he kept repeating them,” Zidane said.
“I knew it was my last game and I knew that there were only 10 minutes to play but things happened very swiftly”, he said.
“I am a man before anything else,” he added.
Racism in pretty common in Europe.These days being a black and Muslim is like a *curse* in modern world.
Its really appreciable that Shirac and whole french nation is supporting him.
“We have made him into a god, we have canonized him, but he’s above all a man, and a man is fragile and breakable,” he told LCI television. “He isn’t Zorro, or the god of soccer.” (AP)(Former France coach Michel Hidalgo).

not really. Blacks have always being discriminated Adnan. But hatred towards muslims started recently - especially after 9/11. Unfortunately ppl r narrow-minded and judge a whole race cos of few idiots.
Keshi.

I argue this point in case of muslims.
Black/Brown/Yello always have faced discrimination.
Lets move to Muslims.
Where muslims are in minority they face discrimimnation.
This is true for any religion. Where hindus are minority they face discrimination
where sikhs are in minority they face discrimination
where christians are in minority they face discrimination
and lets move to bigger picture
where Indians are in minority they face discrimationa
where asians are in minority they face discrimantion
and so on
its simple
U r in minority, u face discrimination.
