Racism has existed ever since humans have walked the Earth, some people will always be targets for others, it’s no different now to years ago, apart from the platforms known as social media. Sadly, racism and discrimination will never be eradicated; it can be criminalised and driven underground but you will never get rid of it. Football, by latching on to the BLM ‘gesture’ of knee bending, has had the opposite effect of what was intended and it is unfortunate that many in football aren’t bright enough to see it and change tack to something less antagonistic to ordinary folk. You can go after those that spout racist hate messages but you can’t control what people think. BLM itself is probably a racist organisation and by association in people’s minds, it is setting back moves towards racial harmony. ‘All Lives Matter’ would have been a much better slogan; treat people how you would like them to treat you, that is the way forward.
