Kachunga - victim of racist abuse

Recommended Posts

I've been out and about all day so can't read all of the posts.

What I do know is we now appear to have a closely bonded team, demonstrated by the way they will always keep playing to the bitter end. Someone has decided to put the boot into one of them, to use the old adage "if one limps we all limp".

Nip it all in the bud, if the team wish to take the knee let them, don't boo or express displeasure or indifference on social media because this provides more fuel for the numpty idiots.

I was very unimpressed by a group of 40 odd year olds at Cambridge who just appeared to be at the match just to shout abuse, after hearing "get back to Barrow you useless Evatt cunt" at our goalie during the warm up we moved away from them, Stewards came up to talk to them after Fonz came on... I can only imagine what they shouted. They had Bolton accents.

The world has become very nasty and we appear to be judging by old standards. To be honest, I don't want to get involved anymore as stripping people of persoanl dignity is not my scene.

Because if the players/manager/owner tell you repeatedly that they're taking the knee in the name of anti-racism, and you disagree with them, you either have to explain why you think they're lying, or admit you're pro-racism. It's really simple.

Cheese you seem to have a view that being against a gesture which is attempting to be anti racist makes you a racist. So it is the double negative of being anti - anti racist makes you racist, but that is not true. 
 

Positive discrimination based on gender in the work place was introduced to tackle discrimination. However many do not think it works and is counter productive. That does not make them sexist. Instead they introduce a series of other measures to tackle the issue. I think the series of reasons given to opposing are generally bollocks but saying anyone opposing the knee is racist is just as blinkered as people accusing people who support it of being woke or virtue signalling. 
 

You and PH might not like it but you are two sides of the same coin. You both have strong views on the subject which if am honest probably appeal to a few people on either who already agreed with you but very few others

Is this from the person who states “don’t stand near me and boo our players”? 
 

same person who admitted they had stood near “dickheads” at Cambridge and said fuck all but happy to do so when they’re  Behind their keyboard? 
 


 

So what is you are going to do if folk boo exactly? 🤡

@Cheese i have to say this to you, this is a very hot topic which some people won’t put their neck on the line , you will have people who for whatever reason will disagree with the knee, or not understand the condemning of the boo, and you know what that’s fine, it’s a minority and they leave themselves open to interpretation with their opinions.

As a black man who works in football I know I can come across very opinionated on the subject and I get people are probably sick of me defending the knee, and outside looking in I know there are people on here thinking blah blah blah yawn yawn change the record Rudy, but in all honesty I don’t care, it feels a little lonely sometimes fighting a battle which sometimes feels on your own.

 I get frustrated even got to a point recently where I’ve not wanted to post or even go to a game. I know I’m not on my own and I know I’m not the minority but I honestly can’t salute you and a few others( @DazBob @Casino ) , on here enough for speaking sense, and  speaking up. That’s what keeps me on here that’s what keeps me going to games.

Felt weird having to explain to my kid sister what the monkey emojis mean, why people have a problem with skin colour, it’s 2020 ffs

Some of your posts on this topic have made me proud to be a Black Wanderers supporter. 
“Woke” “virtue signalling” or any other of that bollocks, that is just a way of people trying to shut people up on a topic they either agree with or are sick of hearing about. 

You’re alright by me, it would be my pleasure to buy you a beer.

 

And for what it’s worth coming off Social media, ignoring it, get on with football, this is what got said to basketballer Lebron James in America a few years ago.
 

A news anchor on Fox News told him to shut up and dribble, because apparently when a issue strikes you and you’re a highly paid sportsmen you’re supposed to just get on with your job and ignore any form of abuse like you’re a sportsmen first and human being second.

And to the people who are Tired of hearing about it, good, it ain’t going away, we’re tired of dealing with it.

 

Great post pal  👍

Goading is part of why this is happening on here and you've contributed with this post. Its snidely brought up in many threads on here.

I've not bothered contributing to this thread because what's the fucking point. I know what will happen.

Nobody will change my thoughts on what others preach to me, as I'll not change yours.

You saw nothing wrong with those frothing racist thugs from Hungary so you are hardly an expert witness.
