Wasn't there some priest who tried to do a voodoo curse on a player during a world cup?

Pogue Mahone had some black magic skills when he made a prediction "X player never gets injured" and then that player would instantly get a serious injury. Even rivals forums noticed it and spoke about it in awe and wonder.Wasn't there some priest who tried to do a voodoo curse on a player during a world cup?
welcome to the internetYikes, 15 pages full of nothing. The players didn't make anything of it, Conte was laughing his arse off, yet apparently we have a bunch of sensitive lip readers and jurors who can't wait to spring into action.
Wasn't that the joke?Well, in this case I was being deliberately obtuse, but I think you knew that.
That's shamanism.
being from the caribbean i was always of the impression that "vodou" really started from Haiti with obviously its roots from Africa. But the religion itself is caribbean.I don't think it's inherently racist, but I think the first image that springs to mind in people in the west is black magic through voodoo dolls. I don't think the average person in the west has a clue what it's about unless they put some effort into understanding it.
No the religion itself is West African, to be precise the origin is supposed to be Benin.being from the caribbean i was always of the impression that "vodou" really started from Haiti with obviously its roots from Africa. But the religion itself is caribbean
maybe there's two types becuase to me Vodou is as much haitain as reggae is jamaican. Both have roots from west africa but both developed in the caribbean. Maybe my history teachers are shiteNo the religion itself is West African, to be precise the origin is supposed to be Benin.
Greatest album ever.
Where do you think those people come from?maybe there's two types becuase to me Vodou is as much haitain as reggae is jamaican. Both have roots from west africa but both developed in the caribbean. Maybe my history teachers are shite
That makes sense since most French colonies forced slaves to become roman catholicAccording to wikipedia, Apparently vodou is linked to Roman Catholicism.
My history teachers? Montego Bay mostly.Where do you think those people come from?
I don't think anyone is saying that practising it is a bad thing or an insult. The same way that there's nothing insulting about eating watermelon, but if I was to single out a black friend, unaware of his culinary habits, and state that he likes watermelon, it'd be problematic right?being from the caribbean i was always of the impression that "vodou" really started from Haiti with obviously its roots from Africa.

Its weird to me that people here are saying that the mere fact that saying someone practices Vodou is an insult , like calling someone a monkey
It's used in kitchens too.No. Not remotely problematic calling any footballer a donkey. Also almost every player I can think of, other than Lukaku, who's been labelled that by fans has been white.
No, the slaves that brought voodooism in the caribbeans.My history teachers? Montego Bay mostly.
I think it is clear he did not use a racial slur of any kind, just that he would rape Zlatan and his wife if he got a chance.There have?
And forget "Had Lukaku done blah blah..". DID Lukaku use any racial stereotype in the heat of the moment?

Rastafarianism is a jamaican religion in my view. It stems from ethiopia but it is not an east african religion. As i said maybe there is 2 different types of vodou im not aware of but one was definately founded in Haiti just as rastafari was founded in Jamaica even though both have christian and african heritageNo the religion itself is West African, to be precise the origin is supposed to be Benin.
i actually had no idea about this watermelon thing till recently. We all eat watermelon where i come fromI don't think anyone is saying that practising it is a bad thing or an insult.

It it though, I mean is it really? I mean, there's plenty of stereotypes and insults higher up the list and far more likely to be used before 'ooh, you're black, you must do voodoo'Because it’s often used as a baseless insult to people of African heritage?
Prodigy, voodoo people. That's a KKK anthem I've heard.
Yeah same, I think I'd seen it referenced a few times but I didn't gauge it at the time. I didn't know about the fried chicken stereotype either until a friend made a joke about it while devouring KFC.i actually had no idea about this watermelon thing till recently. We all eat watermelon where i come from
We are not talking about rastafarianism. Voodoo comes from West Africa, it's an actual religion, now if you want to make a distinction between the practice in west Africa and Haiti you will be talking about a schism with the caribbean slaves adapting their practice over the years. The point being that the religion comes from Africa and Benin but there are different branches in Africa and also in the Caribbeans.Rastafarianism is a jamaican religion in my view.

plantains are so fecking good. Its really what bananas were meant to beApparently we all it plantain too, just wait for that one to catch on.
It's probably my favorite thing.plantains are so fecking good. Its really what bananas were meant to be
So unfair.Yikes, 15 pages full of nothing. The players didn't make anything of it, Conte was laughing his arse off, yet apparently we have a bunch of sensitive lip readers and jurors who can't wait to spring into action.
You're trying to read into something that doesn't exist. I don't care enough for Lukaku or Ibra to have an agenda against either of them, simple as that.Would love to see how many have actually called Zlatan racist, because from what I can see, it looks like you came into this thread determined to prove that the word Voodo wasn’t even used, before trying to deny a the possibility of any racist implications of baselessly associating someone of African heritage with Voodoo, and now you’re saying that people are accusing Zlatan of being a racist.
It seems to me that you came here with an agenda without even trying to understand the situation.
Someone tried to cancel Ibrahimovic?The fact this is blowing up with woke culture pandering on to cancel Zlatan is absolutely pathetic. Racism should be stamped out but there is nothing racist about what Zlatan said to Lukaku especially when 1. Lukaku is a donkey and 2. If he really did do voodoo shit. What if Lukaku told Ibra to pray to Jesus that he doesn’t kick his ass after the game?
Seems like it’s the only solution presented by woke culture.Someone tried to cancel Ibrahimovic?
That doesn't answer the question.Seems like it’s the only solution presented by woke culture.
And shoot Zlatan in his head. No biggy.I think it is clear he did not use a racial slur of any kind, just that he would rape Zlatan and his wife if he got a chance.
