No
Boo the knee
No
Your right to do so, not an order you can give. We all have a right to express our opinion, including you, but no one has a right to impose their opinion.
The last thread did get removed and I was able to look at some of the responses just before it got taken down.
I have a black musician as my avatar, but firstly, let's get this out of the way. I'm not black, but if I was, the comments that were thrown my way would have been racist. Did you just assume I was black because of my avatar?
Also, Navy, what were you saying about my job that you know nothing about? Try and do something for a living?
Well, if teaching kids how to play music for 20 years and being a touring musician worldwide isnt trying then I dont know what is?
If there is somebody black on this board that read your comments, I would be very embarrassed if I were you.
He has the right to not take the knee whether you like it or not. That in itself is not a racist comment, it can be an opinion that it is of no use or even detrimental, but it is everyone's personal choice. I would but it is a personal opinion and saying no does not make you less of a person or a racist person
.
It wasnt the fact that he was saying boo the knee. That's his opinion on what should be done. It's the fact he thought I was black and said "try doing something for a living" insinuating that black people are lazy. There were a couple of other comments but the thread was taken down (rightly so) because the comments were probably considered racist.
I'm sure Swale will be able to explain why he removed the thread.
