birch-chorley Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jan/15/acceptable-racism-gypsies-travellers-prejudice If the BLM movement is about anti racism against all groups, not just Blacks, then it surely includes Gypsies. Described in this report as the last bastion of acceptable racism So if players will take the knee until racism is over then it’s likely they will have to do it for decades yet until racism against Gypsies and the Roma community ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with lifestyle choices that many of them fall into gangs, carry weapons and attack each other? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember by Dad giving someone dogs abuse for calling Michael Brown a 'stupid coon' or words to that effect when I was at my first ever game in the Lever End. My mum, not on her own, used to love a good monkey noise at an opposition player I'd guess no more than 3 or 4 black players a season at 70s Burnden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said get why they are doing it, that's not virtue signalling, it's not like I'm taking the knee I also get why some fans are booing and agree it's pointless if it's just an empty gesture, and haven't criticised millwall fans I don't care much if they carry on for a bit or stop next week, i get why they do it and i won't boo it, im certainly not offended by it or the fact BLM doesn't have one eye on China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that an issue in the U.K.? Is it an issue in Football? I think not Surly the slogan KICK IT OUT is much more relevant in British Football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s not a problem “in the game” per se. it’s a societal issue. People can abuse and call people what they want without a real fear of reprisal. For every person arrested or dealt with for racially abusing someone online there will be thousands more that have no action taken against them.

And I asked re them taking it to where it is widespread but you like them have to deflect the obvious and chat about a very easy and selective target like our national game.

It could quite easily be a black united fan slagging pogba posing as a city fan. In the grounds there were a total of 35 arrests for race/hate crime. Considering there’s 10s of million of fans over a season it doesn’t really highlight a problem. (Though 35 is still to many) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too many young black lads getting girls pregnant, abandoning their duty and fucking the kids off. With the poor kids then going on to drop out of school, pick up a knife, get in trouble, get another young girl pregnant and the cycle goes on A huge focus on this BLM topic in the summer was around systemic racism in U.K. society holding the Black community back. We are having an independent review into racial inequality in the U.K. which will cost millions of pounds. I’m pretty sure that the review won’t just be looking at Black footballers receiving racial abuse at the football. BLM Protests are much more than just abuse at football, it’s about systemic racism in society I like you think it’s not an issue of systemic racism, it’s cultures within different groups. The fact that the Chinese and Indian communities massively outperform both White and Black proves without doubt that skin colour isn’t the biggest issue, life style choices are!
