West Midlands Police have arrested a 12-year-old boy as they investigate racist tweets sent to Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha ahead of Sunday’s Premier League match against Aston Villa.
Zaha shared screenshots from his Instagram account on Twitter this morning after waking up to a series of abuse , including a threatening message accompanied by an image of the American white supremacist group, the Ku Klux Klan.
The message read: ''You better not score tomorrow your black c*** or I’ll come to your house dressed as a ghost.''
Crystal Palace issued a statement in response to the racial abuse via their official twitter account: ''This is an absolute disgrace and should not be happening. We stand with you, Wilf, and anyone else who has to suffer such horrific abuse.''
And West Midlands Police confirmed that a 12-year-old boy had been taken in custody.
A statement read: "We were alerted to a series of racist messages sent to a footballer today and after looking into them and conducting checks, we have arrested a boy.
"The 12-year-old from Solihull has been taken to custody. Thanks to everyone who raised it. Racism won't be tolerated. "

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson was asked his thoughts on the racist abuse aimed at Zaha in the lead-up to the match.
"It's very saddening that on the day of a game a player wakes up to this cowardly and despicable abuse," he told Sky Sports.
"But I think it's right that Wilf made people aware of it - I don't think this is something you should keep quiet about - I think it's very good that our club, Aston Villa as well and the Premier League are doing everything they can to find out who this despicable individual is and one can only hope that he will get identified and he will get called to account and that he will pay for these actions ... because there's literally no excuse."
The incident comes as English football continues to embrace the Black Lives Matter movement following the death of George Floyd last month.
Since the tragic events in America, all Premier League matches have seen players take the knee before kick-off in solidarity and support of the black community.

Not sure how it's racist...calling someone a black cunt is no more racist than calling someone a black man.

I think as long as we aren't using this place to coordinate attacks on individuals or minority groups, we're OK.
British law
usually errs on the side of common sense. There's a recognisable aspect of consent here, nobody relies on NiS for their income or wellbeing, so it could be said that you visit this site expecting to be called a nigger/faggot/jèw.
It's all the graphic Nonce talk that makes this site sketchy. If this site is/does get on the filth's radar, they'll throw all kinds of resources and man hours into scrutinising the Nonce Brigade to make sure there's nothing going on beyond talk.

Fortunately this website is hosted in a placed called The United States of America and they have a constitution, this constitution has a first amendment. Something to do with Free Speech. Fuck outta here with your INGSOC shit. Even if the yanks did care, or the britbong authorities, i'm not in your jurisdiction. And guess what, my country has a constitution too, and it guarantees i can say whatever the fuck i want. But i don't take anything for granted, i'm behind 7 proxies, i even have a proxy for my DNS traffic.
motherfucker.

weak whyte, frothy cuck, and former twink
But also kinda off topic but did hear about how trader joes just changed alot the product packaging, because they've always tried diverse but that back fired on them evidently, some of there products had "trader jaun" or "trader chang" or whatever.. to make everyone feel welcome and included.
But some fringe leftwing group complained how its racist they exoticising other cultures. And traders didn't even wanna with evidently so they just okay, fine, everything is gonna trader joes on it.
Funny thing I live near the original whole foods and a lot the products like say cereal will have pictures of asian boy eating the cereal with a with girl on it. This was ten years ago and I thought odd then, but hey I guess really spin anything you want into be racist if you're that much a dominated assclown.
