Taking The Knee

[stripes39]

The stupidity is , like so many have said previously, BLM and their media love machine are actually doing more harm to the cause they think they are helping. The stupidity of the media, football clubs and the FA etc is almost beyond belief.

I think a question that might be asked is why does Dion Dublin or anyone else think anyone who does not want to be aligned to a evil and vile cause is a racist, unless of course it is due to the colour of those that believe in their freedom of choice and speech. Now that is racism is it not. So one might deduce that Dion Dulblin and those like him are perhaps racist themselves.

You make some good points. I’m at a loss as to how these people like Dublin and Wright and the wider media ignore the racism in BLM yet can’t wait to wade in to anyone with a view that differs from there’s.

That FA Chairman used the word ‘coloured’ instead of ‘people of colour’ and got crucified yet Black Lives Matter leader Yusra Khogali made a Facebook post in which she claimed white people suffer from "recessive genetic defects" and should be wiped out.

Not a word was heard from these people about that.

Racism is throwing a banana at a black person and making disgusting monkey chants.

Calling someone “coloured” is just looking for an excuse to make out someone is a racist.

This term “casual racism” is in itself a joke......you’re either racist or you’re not.

I can remember crowds ( including our own ) chanting “N******,N*****,lick my boots” at opposing black players and opposing fans chanting “Zigger,Zagger,Zigger....Regis is a N*****” at our Cyrille!

THIS is racism.......this is wrong!

WTF is wrong with people these days, we are NOT a racist country.

As has been said many times recently, they are exactly the thing they accuse others of being and I think the Millwall situation will be the trigger that emboldens the majority to take them on. I kneel only at the graves of loved ones departed.

If you take the time to read all of it this is a brilliant article written by a black man about BLM, sums it up perfectly in my view.

Thanks Dave, that is an excellent read and perhaps eloquently puts what most on here are believe.

As Dave says, if you have time to read it do so. It makes absolute sense.

What a relief to read some common sense for a change on this issue. After reading this thread, WBA goes up further in my estimation.

Cheers Toptoon - good posters on here saying it the way it is! Newcastle always a great city and great club and such a shame I can’t be there in person on Saturday!

Cheers mate - if you catch it on telly, make sure you don’t nod off watching our dire football.

I take it Dwight Gayle will not be playing then? Hope he's ok, fondly remembered down here.

Well, if your football is as you say, dire, add our football to it we're hardly in for an exciting afternoon!

We’ll probably not try to score till the 80th odd minute in the hope that it’s still 0-0 or 1-0 to you. We’ll then briefly push a couple of players forward hoping to nick a goal. Thus is the limit of tactical ingenuity from our ‘manager’ who, as I’m sure you know, has the worst record of any to grace the premier league.

I think Gayle will be on the bench.
