O/T Bending the knee farce

Hmmm...bit more of a rant than an answer there Tricky.

Not really sure what you’re saying other than racism is a product of being ‘working class’ and less well/expensively educated, which seems very debatable.

I’m not sure what you’re sick of having ‘rammed down your throat’ either...though I’m fairly certain it doesn’t compare with the abuse that black footballers regularly suffer as a result of a) making a mistake and b) just being black.

I’m glad that you say you agree with my anti-racist message...I think that’s all the vast majority of non jeering football supporters want and I suspect that I’m not really being naive at all...indeed the most naive comment of the week award must go to you with your earlier assertion that ‘sport shouldn’t be used for political gain’.

I'm afraid rA you should have done as I ahve and refrain from reading or interacting with this utter twa@t! I had thought nobody was going to react to his provocative and pointless thread but no some did.

I do love how people, mostly white, often male and quite often able bodied, get on their high horse and moan about having stuff "shoved down their throats"! Which is code for shut the **** up because having black/ coloured people, women, disabled people who have suffered systemic discrimination for many decades talk about it, makes me uncomfortable and anyway they have nothing to complain about!!

All this whataboutery concerning the BLM movement is just a sideshow - for a start England players have said quite clearly their gesture is not support of that movement but a way of drawing attention to the fact that despite the Neanderthal wailings of morons like Thicky, racism is still rampant.


Yes by all means point out issues with some of the people involved in an organisation, but don't use that as a way of saying, lets drop all this now its not needed. Talk to a few ethnic, gay, disabled people or women and only a complete bell end would deny that there still serious issues of prejudice and discrimination which do need talking about, do need highlighting and if it makes little ole white boyz uncomfortable well **** em!!
