Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has responded to the continued racial abuse he has suffered over the past years, but particularly in the past 12 months, with defiance.
It has fallen upon the young Brazilian to take the fight against racism by the scruff of the neck, and since his public calling out of incidents, La Liga have requested more powers to punish racism, clubs are acting faster and co-operating better, and La Liga are imparting justice more swiftly.
On the 20th of November, which is Black Awareness Day, Vinicius send out a message to the public, asking for their help to deal with the issue.
“Racism. Don’t pretend you don’t see it.”
His request is an important one. Certainly on an institutional level, it has become clear that it is not enough to turn a blind eye to racism, and put out generic statements without punishing their own fans. Now institutions, at the very least, are taking a much firmer stance.

no one is speaking nonsense mr. man. there r dribblers all over and I don't need to quote them... the same rodrygo u mentioned also dribbles but he doesn't attract hate towards himself like vini does.. he doesn't quarrel with opponents.. messi and Ronaldo are better have been better dribblers than vini ever will be.. did they quarrel this much with rivals? No.. so don't tell me about nonsense when I give u fact and the fact is, vini attracts too much hate to himself. that is my opinion.. if u think ur opinion is better, keep it to yourself..I don't agree to it.

for now no one else is speaking out so it's him that feels the urge to say something
let him continue.. that's how his goals are also drying out. he can focus on his gameplay and score more goals, OR he can focus on the crowd and get distracted there by scoring less goals.. it is up to him

Does Bellingham and Rodrygo dribble as much as him don’t speak nonsense None of them play the way he plays so obviously they won’t have the same reaction

Okay fine you mentioned attitude like the one Vallecano keeper did when he refused to release the ball just out side the pitch when Vinicious now pushed him to grab the ball away from his hands at the moment of time Realmadrid were badly in need of a goal to grab a vital 3 points? Or the ones most opponents players sometimes go with rough tackle on Vinicious just because he doesn't receive protection from referees and when he tries to react back, Was that what you called attitude? Or the ones in which opponents fans will just suddenly start chanting monkey from the crowd and when he react back after Realmadrid eventually won the game. So you called that attitude??? 🤔 You did say i shouldn't pretend but you obviously did because you never mentioned what triggered Vinicious before reacting to all these allegations on him and for those Realmadrid fans you mentioned that they also complains about Vinicious. Those ones simply knows nothing.
You mentioned one instant with a keeper who held the ball, the right thing for Vinicius to do was not to push him or grab to get the ball. You also mentioned hard tackles on Vinicius, not sure you made any specific reference to any, but didn't mention his diving, that can be seen as pretty one-sided. You mentioned monkey chants from the crowd, but I specifically stated, that I was not referring to racist responses, as they are without right, there is absolutely no excuse for them. I suppose his teammates and his manager also know nothing, because you said so. Many fans are fans of football firstly, and believe the sport is bigger than any one player or club. They are able to provide an objective view on a player or set of players (team). Not everyone is capable, but that doesn't mean, no one is capable of so doing.

I'm not talking about celebrating. Please don't pretend to be oblivious to Vinicius Jrs motions and gestures towards the crowd. Even my friends who are Real Madrid fans and his manager and his coach have spoken to him about it. Just don't pretend, please. Some Madrid fans have even spoken about his attitude, not the good attitude of celebrating, or his skills, but his bad attitude towards other players, pushing and shoving when the ball is out of play, grabbing etc. Just don't be pretentious. No one is talking about his footballing nor celebrating. His teammate even came out and told him to focus on his footballing. Ancelotti was seen dragging him off the field once, and Ancelotti is one who allows players to be themselves, from a footballing perspective. So obviously from this discourse, I am not speaking about anything directly related to football.

..and what makes u think I don't know that? he has been crying about racism for over a year and all that had done is make him lose focus during games and attract more hatred towards himself. Is Bellingham not also black? is Rodrygo not also black? so why only vini complaining this much about racism? simple truth is that he attacts it a lot.

it might not be his best season, but they're clearly has to be a change in the situation of racism that's going on around the world, and I can definitely count and bet that you wouldn't want any of your friends or families to get racially abused. so yeah someone has to take the initiative and do something about it. we can't keep going on like this, enough is enough.

racism is just going too far, someone should definitely speak out on it and do something about it, if no one does then we can expect it to continue being around for the next couple of years which would be awful.

As a black person, I understand his fight. As a person I don't understand his desire to wind up the crowd and opposition players, not for racism, but just as an human being with an annoying personality. No room for racism. Someone should stand against what he does on the field too, not skills or tricks, cussing and making gestures, that.

If the voices of others are ignored, Vinicius's voice deserves to be heard. It is time to put an end to the racial mistreatment.
