A discussion about RACE

[Acido]

Hey lads, why are we still talking about the BBS on here ?.
They have apparently made it clear what they think about our board and us as fans, so does it or rather do they, really matter anymore.

I did used to think the same Ponty, and I think I can still post on there if I want to etc. But when I keep hearing that they're having a go at us again and again, it becomes less important and rather tedious to be honest.

People tend to reply quicker on the BBS because more people use it. Depending on what mood I'm in I can get bites a bit quicker not that I'm a WUM but I do get a bit giddy at times. Nudger used to take exception to my jokes about lycra clad blokes on the Transpennine trail

Whether this is part of the Critical Race Theorists strategy I don't know for sure , it's possible .

For posters not familiar with the Critical Race Theory it basically places the blame for all racism at the feet of white people which is just not true and has a strategy to make all white people feel guilty for it .

People often use certain terminology wrongly and sometimes inappropriately but I wouldn't altogether condemn them as racists which seems to be where we are at the moment .

Not heard of that theory.
But it’s a problem - and it’s a problem that can’t be solved.
In my opinion it is totally wrong to use those derogatory terms - but telling certain groups they can’t use certain words, but others can, is not dealing with people equally.

Now we have this thing of bending the knee.
If individuals are found to be prejudice then they need to be brought to task about it.
But bending the knee is continually putting the spotlight on BAME people.
IMO - that action is segregating people more than it is bringing them together.
When Morgan Freeman was asked about racism he said ‘stop talking about it’.
Which includes of course - while ever there are actions that highlight problems - then those problems are likely to remain.

As for my mention of the BBS.
The comments I made in the initial post were comments I’ve made previously on the BBS.
I’ve waited about 24 hours to see what the response would be on here.
And it’s been a good one.
Im sort of pointing out the differences here - because you could NOT have this discussion on the BBS.
And clearly they don’t want members of this message board to have a discussion about racial issues either - hence their remarks about this message board re: Millwall booing.

I think in the main posters are pretty streetwise and won't get suckered into debates about politics and race for someone else's gratification.

Nudge, dun't involve us in points scoring abart BBS.

Some on BBS may wish to attack fellow Reds on TykesMad ovva various things but, in the main, mooast on here cuddant give a shiny sh1te abart wot they say abart TykesMad. Let them rant, insult or try to be sarcastic. All a bit sad and petty really.

As SB points out nobody gives a shyte what gets posted on other forums as most are comfortable in their own beliefs and skin on here .

Personally I think immigration is fine just as long as it's controlled and isn't mass immigration as we've seen whilst members of the EU .

I want my town to still be the place culturally it always as been whilst accepting immigration in a controlled manner .

I don't wish to see my town become something it isn't today , I'm culturally fine with it how it is .

People who are generally for multiculturalism often move around far more across the country or even europe but many other people don't and it's often understated that they want to see their communities remain as they always have because it's their home , their workplace and where they have family or start ones .

I believe the BLM is a bad vehicle for speaking out against racism but many other groups do a fine and credible job .

I've voted Labour all my life but didn't vote for them in 2019 and until they start looking out for people in communities such as ours it's unlikely I'll ever vote for them again although I'd never vote for the Tories either .

That's all I have to say and I'm comfortable saying it .
