That's one of the issues - obviously there is a difference between critical disagreement and simply denying personal agency or an individual's platform. So no, disagreement in itself isn't taking away someone's agency. It's when a position is disavowed by saying its can't claim legitimacy based on something that has little to do with the issues discussed or there premise isn't vaild because the individual isn't so things such as clothes, or work done, nationality, sexuality, regionality or the press context or other reasons around why a person shouldn't have a voice. Essentally basing a position around racial determinism rather than an individual's free will in their personal perspective placed in a societal narrative context.

And on this, there isn't line drawing as such I wouldn't have thought - just discursive attempts to understand positions, and firstly in a way that give's every individual in the debate a balanced platform. Although, that is another of the issues, because structual racial theory is somewhat predicated on the premise there is is always an imbalance in the western discussion between those who have the experience and those who do not, and until this changes there cannot be a safe space for this.

Anyway, I'm going to pop back off to pseuds corner, now.

Reposting, as either it's going to stop this debate, or I'm going to still see people defend and indefensible position because they are a bit challenged.

Bless them.

No, she has a right to.

I'm just not sure you can plausibly claim she'd have preferred to have dealt with it privately, or that she didn't name Lady Hussey publicly, when the evidence suggests otherwise.

Fair do's. I was more referring to the comment framing her as the big gobshite vs the 'frail old lady'. Absolute nonsense

Don't think I claimed she wanted to deal with it privately. I had just read her friend said she didn't name her publicly to begin with. Fair play to her for going to the press, it seems it's a common issue for 3rd/4th generation British people who've also spoken up about it since. You can kind of understand why it's a frustrating conversation to experience no? 

It's the absolute meltdown by Royalists and the attempted discrediting of her charity that's beyond me. Again, it was the Palace and the lady themself who made the decision for her to step down from service.

Yeah, fair enough - it certainly has more than a wiff of it, but it's interesting none the less - and I do love a good dicussion on identity politics. Hey, if it makes you think twice about why you are comenting on how someone dresses in the context of their identity, it's all good.

I'd love Mounts and the bellend that sits near me to tell Santos and Bakayoko why they are wrong to kneel.  Face to face.

Would you tell players that refuse to take the knee that they’re wrong? 

How many are 'refusing' to take the knee? Players like Zaha don't object to it they think its actually not effective enough which is why they don't do it. Alonso points to his badge rather than take the knee and Barnes again doesn't think it goes far enough.

I might be wrong - but how many are refusing to take it because of Mount's position?

I think he’s stereotyping big black men. The racist pig. 

I think it's more of the fact that would Mounts have the gumption to put his position across to two young Black men about why highlighting racism they may have suffered from in their life is wrong.

Nothing to do with being hit - unsurprising you went there though.

I’ve been watching Spanish football for a while now. I can’t remember seeing Alonso point to his badge?
