What do you think is the reason for that?
I can't really see that insulting an entire race by insulting an individual is worse than making a personal insult. All of our races have been slaves at one time or another. Many of our ancestors have lived in conditions that were many orders of magnitude tougher than we have now. I'm not sure why one group would think that they have a monopoly on 'offence'.

I said months ago he should be ignored. Maybe it’s time everyone does.

I certainly would outside of HOL. By the way were you bullied and beaten by a white kid for two years at school like I was by a black kid. Probably not I would guess. So like you having a bad experience with a white person making your mind up I may have had mine made up by a black person. Do you see how easy it is to be shallow! Although I can confess my mind wasnt as I know there are bad apples in all barrels. Maybe you are just unlucky with your choice of barrel eh.
Made my mind up to what? Despite my experiences as a child (bullied-check, beaten-check) and an adult (I got called a monkey by a group of drunks, literally a last month as well as assault & threats of violence working in the away end at Palace and even abuse and threats in a past life on here), I still bear no malice towards non-racist white people. Love them, in fact.
Stop trying to write some narrative to suit the pile on in this thread, won't work.

That might explain some of the irrational aggression by some young black people towards white people who have no idea what the problem is, but it’s no excuse. The world misses a Martin Luther King and not this recent stuff.

When you look at this and the demands for the police to kneel before being attacked minutes later, you can’t be surprised if people don’t think kneeling is the right way to go about things.

Not trying to write anything to suit. Just my experience. Threats at football because your black or maybe because your man management skills need addressing! I'm glad you hold no malice towards any HOL members as there arnt any racists on here. Unless you think there is an element of unconscious racism which is hard to define tbh so is even harder to pin on someone. Now that will work from all colours as its unconscious!

That sounds like you can't answer the question.
I am suspicious of anything that seems to defy reason. I want someone to tell me why this disparity in emotional response is reasonable.

You do understand that we are all against this kind of disgusting behaviour be it by Black or White? No race has a monopoly on imbeciles. There are and will always be people who take pleasure from abusing others.

Not trying to write anything to suit but then attempt to invalidate my own experiences by blaming it on my man management skills. Makes sense. For the record, spat on by Leeds fans, called a black c*** and told "When it kicks off today, you better run" by Millwall fans.
And of course, you speak for all members of the HOL, only I was branded a racist myself, so which one is it?

What you require is zero tolerance to this, not taking the knee.

We are all branded as racists so dont feel bad. Check out the brexit thread for proof of that.

Blimey, I've got some respect for him now.
One of the other headlines was that a fan is going to get a LIFETIME ban for booing the taking of the knee. How Draconian is that! I myself wouldn't boo it but I think that is totally over the top.

I spoke to a Millwall mate the other night he has a pretty good idea how the fans feel so his take on the booing was this.
Nothing to do with racism or even BLM it's taking the knee that upset them. "We are Millwall we don't run and we don't take the knee (act of submission) for anyone".
Stop taking the knee we stop booing.
I can see his logic they feel it is damaging their reputation (as thugs), my words not his.

I hope this comes back to haunt them. The arrogance of these people is quite something. If you can take a knee then you should by equal measure be allowed to boo. What the hell kind of country have we become?

Exactly! The leftie, liberals are all for free speech and everyone is entitled to an opinion as long as it’s the same as their’s! God forbid someone doesn’t agree with them!

Hopefully more thought will have gone into it than that scrap of paper handed to AJ in that park in the summer saying black people should boycott white businesses. And people ask why isn’t everyone in favour of taking the knee. Short memories some people. It’s no coincidence it has the hard left involved. They have the shortest memories in the human species.
