Man arrested for Racism

I know. Depressing isn’t it?
It is depressing but unfortunately it's the way of the world and you're never going to change the minds of people on things like this. People still don't think that racism exists or that it's that bad, they don't get that players like Rashford have a bad game and get abused purely because of the colour of their skin.

We need to educate kids as much as possible so parents have a smaller chance of passing on their outdated and down right wrong views on this issue.
 
While we are discussing the denial of institutional racism in this country...


I have just finished an interview for the radio tomorrow with the mother of Osime Brown, a young Dudley man who was imprisoned under Joint Enterprise which means he could be deported because his sentence was more than 1 year. Osime is autistic, a developmental age of 5-6 years old, vulnerable and got caught up in the theft of a mobile phone. The presumption of deportation means he could be sent to Jamaica, a country he hasn't seen since he was 4 years old.

The UK Borders Act 2007 s32 was enacted by a Labour Government and enforced by subsequent governments is part of the institutional racism in our country. So if being labelled a Marxist means opposing stuff like this...call me Karl.

So in one post you've...
Continued to say Jesse Owens was at the 1968 Olympics
Fundamentally failed to understand the connection between institutionalised racism in the US police force and wider society to George Floyd's death
Spelt his name incorrrectly
Failed to understand that a white guy being killed by police doesn't mean a black guy being killed by police isn't because of the colour of his skin
Implied there isn't "real racism" any longer
Spelt Colin Kaepernick's name incorrectly
Spelt Malcolm X's name incorrectly
Given support for the Black Panthers - who were a Marxist organisation, but you don't like Marxists?
I actually worked with someone at JP Morgan who was in the Black Panthers.

Had a few chats with her.
Different times, they needed to do what they did how they did it.

At that point in times, blacks were not allowed on Buses, in the same schools, that was racism.

Anyone getting abused because of the colour of his skin is despicable and really need to be closing acvounts down of people that abuse anyone for the cññour of his skin.

We do need to educate children and it's better now than its ever been.

The report that came out said the UK is not instituionally racist, and its not it's funny how the some attacked a report that was written by black people because it differed to their view.
Yes Racism exists, and it's abhorant for someone to be abused because they are different, wether thats the Colour of their Skin, Sexuality, Religion or Nationality.

I have lived in 5 different countries including an Islamic one, i would say England is the least racist country i have been in, along with Istanbul, i wont mention Turkey as an whole because Istanbul is probably the most differemt city to its country than any other.

Spain probably along with Scotland as the worst, though Scotland is more bigotry than race.

I willl say Istanbul was (its been 10 years) the blueprint for how every country should live.

Not far from the Blue Mosque was a Church, and Synogogue. I used to have coffee in a small cafe and regularly saw Jews, Christians, and Muslims mingling and chatting before going to their separate places of worship, come put and sit at the same table and drink Coffee together.

Taking the Knee is in support of a Marxist organisation, that has attacked the UK and it's war memorials like it of not thats what it is.

I had drinks and dinner with a friend of mine who is gay, we were chatting about a few things, we came onto the subject of bigotry, homaphobia and racism.

He knows me really well, i was proud of a statement he made to me.

Your the least bigoted, homophobic or racist guy I have ever met, he told me that actually made me really proud.

There are 2 people in this world your either a dick ar a nice person that is not mutually exclusive.

I have met complete dicks that are Gay Straight, black, white.
I have met nice guys that are the same i judge people on what they are nothing else
 
"Taking the Knee is in support of a Marxist organisation, that has attacked the UK and it's war memorials like it of not thats what it is."

I respect that you truly believe what you have written.

But you are wrong. That is not an opinion, it is a fact.
 
Tory MP in deliberate misunderstanding to play to the racist crowd shock
 
People who believe taking the knee is 'supporting a Marxist group' etc and booing it, are deliberately not listening when players, managers and others say it isn't about that. They are ignoring what's being said, it's as simple as that really.

When hooliganism was pigeonholed as footballs problem, it never really was, it was society's. This is the same - Post made just for Pogo's laughing emoji.
 
Problem with racists, usually, is that unless they're mob handed, they cannot express their feelings. Pity that. If they were a wee bit braver, had a wee bit bigger balls, there'd be less racists in the world...Those idiots who jeered when OUR players took the knee are probably descendants of the scum who decided coming to Wolves in the late 70s, wearing silly white polyester hoods with obligatory holes. Cunts!
 
I just hope that those taking the knee are not misunderstood when they raise a clenched fist.
 
Ireland playing Hungary tonight in Budapest in front of a full house.
Ireland team took the knee and were massively booed by the crowd.
Hungary team chose to stand, their captain did point to the respect badge on his arm when the booing started but he was pissing in the wind.

Will be an ongoing issue during the Euros.
