I think this can just be summarised as Stirling and Hrolf believing in the great replacement theory and calling anyone that doesn’t ‘brainwashed’.

Firstly. Replacement does not have to be absolute in any sense. Not much is. Even Neanderthals still exist in terms of a few genes floating around.

I would invite you to demonstrate with statistics, projections and maybe a bit of imagination, how the theory of 'replacement' is wrong.

This is your big chance to blow it out of the water.

Forget the actual organisation. I know what they want.

What do those that hide under the blanket of BLM but claim not to be associated with it want?

What do they specifically want?

Surely this is a simple question. People making public demonstrations and taking up hours of media time must know exactly what they are campaigning for.

What exactly is it?

Why do you think I speak for anyone but myself?
I've answered this question multiple times, either digest what I've said or stop asking me. I don't speak for others and repeatedly asking me the same question isn't going to change my answer.

Ask a footballer, write into the club. The answer will likely be the same as mine.

Well to be fair, your points have also been answered multiple times on this forum but it hasn't stopped you from repeating them....For example this 'ask a footballer' point has been answered many times now.

Indeed, the whole BLM discussion just goes round in circles now.

Sky has donated £3m to Kick it Out. Is this the start of football distancing itself from BLM?

He wants blacks to be treated different to whites in a country where they are already treated differently. One word from a black person and any whitey is arrested and have their life ruined.
Hes got what he wanted but doesnt want to admit it.
Positive discrimination... got it.
Special treatment from the police...got it.
Benefits on tap.... got it.
To be able to cry racist and have multiple organisations, media,government and the like feel sorry for you.... got it.
Have whites full of white guilt
about slavery...got it.
The last one was actually started by blacks but that dont matter as it's been erased... got it.

Racist bingo and we have a winner.

I'm not asking you what you want or expecting you to take responsibility for anything. I just want to know exactly what the movement you are defending wants to achieve.
What exactly is this campaign aiming to achieve and how will we know when they achieved it. Any individual supporting the movement surely must know what he or she is promoting. He must be able to write it down.

In a nutshell.
Funny how when given the opportunity to disprove or explain this away, everyone who defends BLM goes all coy.

I’ve already said what positive changes I’d make. The penal system and custodial sentences and changes to the history curriculum in schools. Your turn.

Arch-fan of Millwall, Rod Liddle, sums it up well in the Spectator magazine: "The knee-bending in support of a genuinely odious organisation, Black Lives Matter, was encouraged from the top down by the virtue-signalling idiots in the Football Association, the Premier League and the English Football League.
It would have lasted precisely one week if fans had been allowed into the grounds — or not have been introduced at all. But when the public is absent, corporate wokeism faces no corrective from the real world."

Teddy Eagle Flag 21 Dec 20 4.32pm


This is such an emotive subject it’s hard to be objective but for me the reaction to the players’ action is almost a symptom of compassion fatigue. The anti-racism movement has been in full swing for over 40 years - the Rock Against Racism gig in Victoria Park was in 1978 so certainly it started before then - and yet in 2020 we’re still being told how racist we all are.
No doubt there was racism in the country decades ago but it’s been so effectively demonised that even people who might hold those views, and I don’t think anyone on here does, would be reluctant to admit it.

You say that players are free to make a statement if they wish to but they are not. They are ONLY allowed to take a knee for racism.

What if they want to take a knee over climate control or any other issue?

Then they need to organize, approach the Premier League/FA or whoever, form some kind of group, and lobby for their right to take a knee for climate change.

Simple really.

Of course any issue can be highlighted in this way, if is it of enough importance to society.

 


Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

jeeagles Flag 21 Dec 20 4.59pm

Having heard the news from the PFA that players want to do this, then inspite of my objections that the symbolism has been hijacked by Anti-FA, I think it should be supported.

Many of the players receive untold amounts of racist abuse on social media. If its pissing of those vile little trolls then on balanced, its worth it.

Although, if its a centrally organised protest then that's completely different.

Players should have the right to chose. Even Derry born McClean right to not wear a poppy should be respected to some extent - but he generally acts in a offensive and hostile manner towards the English, despite chosing to earn a living here.

If the right to make a meaningless gesture such as taking the knee was proportionate to the importance of the issue in question, we'd all be on our knees all the time if the issue was climate change. Compared with that, alleged racism is of no importance whatsoever.

If you have any actual real life black friends, have this conversation with them, the picture you're painting is quite inaccurate. Compared to my viewpoint anyway.

The bit about preferencial treatment by the police was particularly funny.
