For transitional fossil Kenny Dalglish, it is surely time to evolve.
Last nights racist abuse of Tom Adeyemi is purely the fault of the Liverpool Football Club.
Dalglish and his players are heroes to some very very stupid people.
These neuronically moronic pick up mass hysterias that allow them to shroud their inate fear and weaknesses with the misplaced sense of hyper-power that is racism.
Racism.
The wearing of Suarez support t shirts, club media spokesperson Alan Hansen thinking Black people are coloured, the "All Together" mosaic featuring Suarez on the back of the Kop, the refusal to apologise for the institutional racism enveloping the club - the owners, management and players should be ashamed.
Why hasn't Dalglish got the capacity to face up to the fact that he is out of touch, out of date, out of his depth and both wrong and racist?
Slavery ended ages and ages and ages ago...
... just prior to Liverpool's last title win, in fact.
The world has moved on since Us Mancs had to build the Manchester Ship Canal to help that process on its way, while also neatly sidestepping your tariffs, your monopolies, your port cartels and your sectarian employment practices of yesteryear.
It is not valid to call someone "a negro".
Not once.
Never mind seven times.
Suarez is hardly the most kosher individual to stand up for anyway.
The man has form.
Known as the "Cannibal of Ajax" for biting Otman Bakkal (of Moroccan origin), Mr Suarez was banned for seven games.
The previous season he had been suspended for fighting with mixed heritage Ajax teammate, Ibrahim Afellay.
The year prior to that, Suarez fought with previous club FC Groningen over his transfer to Ajax. Despite taking his club to the KNVB, he lost his case.
Then there was the middle-fingered salute at Fulham.
In the words of Marco van Basten: "Luis is unpredictable."
Suarez earns a lot of money and when in Rome...
Ah!
But that is the rub of it.
From the perspective of Mr Suarez, why am I being punished for being racist in a country where my teammates, my team manager, my employers, the Premier League, the League Management Association, the BBC, the Prime Minister and the Queen's husband and late motherfucker are all renowned for differentiating on race?
England is still not that much different from the Rhodesia it spawned.
The recent rise in racist murders and attacks in the country, the hijacking of government agenda by the intellectual wing of the EDF, institutional racism in the police, the ghettoisation of our major cities, Kiaran Stapleton feeling comfortable enough with his crime to name himself "Psycho Stapleton" when appearing in court to be charged with shooting Anuj Bidve in the head on Christmas night, and yet the demand goes out from the BBC and all Right-minded people that Diane Abbott MP should apologise for insinuating that the UK is a nasty racist little entity founded on slavery and the workhouse, run by white people who utilise divide and rule as a primary tool of power.
It is all the same shit.
People who see Hillsborough but not Heysel also only see racist stereotypes.
It is time for King Kenny, his players, Richard Scudamore, John Henry and Luis Suarez to stand in front of the Kop and explain why it is time to evolve.
