    I watched all the Morning news programs this morning, I nearly kicked the TV over, Time after time black footballer, black administrators in the game and even black football fans saying now is the time for the FA to recruit black folk, surely if you are good enough for any position you'll get it regardless of colour or creed.

    I agree with Army in that we are the best at making mountains out of mole hills when it comes to racism.

    My sister-in-law is a trainer in health and social care and specialises in Autism and Dementia, she goes all over the Country to teach people in health and care.

    She was in Nottingham last week and finished her lesson with about 18 people and asked if they wanted to talk about anything else, one black man (of which there was 7) said can we talk about racism and BLM, she said yes, and all of them said that the way we have changed in this Country in the last few months most blacks feel more distanced from whites because of all the idiotic actions, which for me seals the deal

    And that's precisely their aim Alto, unfortunately gullible footballers like Ben Mee, virtue signalling tw@ts on Twitter, the lefty media and most of our politicians just can't, won't or daren't see it.

    Exactly Alto, were back to the divide and conquer scenario -- they want us to be annoyed and sure enough it will create tension and basically more racism than there was before.

    Give these groups and people a platform and before long this is what happens, I said before all the BLM rubbish would end in disaster and it has.

    It's bonkers in this country with racism , walking on egg shells continuously as it becomes worse and worse.

    Have been trying to find out who decides what terms are racist and haven’t found it yet. There’s legislation about racial equality / discrimination and hate speech, but Clarke wasn’t hating anyone.

    Wikipedia lists hundreds of terms here but they don’t include black brown or coloured??

    Think I’ll stop speaking for fear of upsetting someone.
