    Suits me the quicker we get rid of fans like that the better as far as I'm concerned. Millers mad would be a lot more pleasant and tolerant board for a start.

    I would ask the question why does the thought of black equality bother you so much that you would stop supporting a club you may have done for years? Why feel so strongly about it?

    It really is strange how this nasty organisation has hoodwinked Sky and all the TV media in to believing that we are racist and education.It couldn't be further from the truth,this country is the most tolerant country there is.Just take a look at some of these EU countries where nothing is done about this.I haven't seen or heard any racial tones while watching the Millers home and away.As a club we will not accept such behaviour so why ARE we being told that we ARE racist and have to watch players take the knee.All this is doing is manufacturing hate and stirring trouble.We fully support all players what ever colour or creed.Remember what Martin Luther King said "people should be judged by their personal qualities and not by their skin".A very honourable man who fought for a good cause unlike these riotous mobs we have seen.We are not a racist country.

    BLM developed from the Occupy movement, which was explicity anti-capitalist, but a bit too "on the nose".

    So now we have BLM and Extinction Rebellion and other groups who try to partly cover their Marxist revolutionary aims.

    BLM seem to be succeeding in this, more akin to Malcolm X tactics. Any means necessary.
    Malcolm might be smiling in his grave, Martin Luther turning in his.

    You miss the point Millerbill. Maybe this country is one of the less racist countries but the fact is blacks do not have the same life chances/ equalities generally as whites and this needs addressing. Sure there are rich blacks and poor whites but in general it is more the other way round.

    You must walk about with your eyes shut and ears closed if you have not seen/ heard any racist behaviour from some of our fans. Not many ,agreed, but there are some.

    You are not being told you are racist you are just being reminded that blacks are untreated unequally to whites still in this country. That is not the same as saying you are racist.

    Why do you think Boris said racial equality needs addressing in this country. You can hardly say he is some sort of loony leftie.

    Kneeling update.

    All Premier League teams still kneeling.

    Championship - Only Norwich v Preston didn't kneel yesterday.

    League 1 and 2, 15 games where there was no kneeling.

    Currently 1-1 but QPR should have this game by the scruff of the neck and be 3 if not 4 up in the first half.

    Being debated in the studio and straight to a former black player who thinks both clubs are not promoting the right communication.....this one will not go away!
    ...you started this thread off Brin! We are only discussing the point you made!

    ...you are obviously right tho it dunt look like it will go away judging by the number of posts on here.


    What gets me is why do some people not like the thought of equality in general black/ white whatever? Why should it bother them? What skin is it off their nose if everyone is treated fairly? Indeed, arguably many would gain if EVERYONE was treated fairly...

    I don't see myself as poor but I wouldn't deny folks the chance to have a similar standard of living as me. Why would I?

    You haven't answered my question, how did the score finish? Without looking it up you don't know do you?
