Judging by the amount of racism aimed at prem footballers this week and the debate that has surrounded these hate crimes and a person being arrested over the weekend for racist bile against Sawyers from West Brom.

The when people feel they are being viewed as racist if the talk about racism says more about the individual than the points they are putting across. It’s been very interesting and fascinating observing posters comments across the many months on Hol as a black male related to the topic as whole. There has been a lot of ignorance without individuals even realising their ignorance or narrow mindedness.

I have honestly got to the stage wheee I couldn’t give a flying f about BLM, who is racist, who isn’t racist, who stabs and shoots who on the streets, who wants a statue, who doesn’t want a statue, who wants to blame everyone else for their own problems, who couldn’t give a damn either way. Why? Because no one seems to give a damn about me so why should I about them. It’s time to look after number 1 I reckon. Screw the lot of ‘em. There are a couple of groups who do, you just won't hear about them in the mainstream media.

Ask a youngish black man about their experiences, especially from poorer backgrounds.

One thing I have noticed about some 'all lives matter' types is that the lives of elderly haven't mattered to them during this pandemic either. So the very idea put forward is revealed as a diversion to escape being concerned about an issue or group. Of course the same could be said about some factions of BLM. That there is an interest in pushing one imagined 'sides' concerns over another, which at its extremes is just another angle to be racist against others. But there are fair arguments and points outside of that regarding injustice or imbalance that get attacked, while those hanging on the words of groups - noteworthy for various reasons - set around other racial identities get a free pass.

White people are racially abused all the time. You just don't want to acknowledge it.

They may be the subject of individual hatred but not endemic belittling by a far larger majority I know you are still sore from a nasty experience as a youngster and I genuinely feel for you on that. It doesn’t change the fact that relatively speaking, on average, it is much tougher to be black than white.

Your second sentence is another contradiction. As for the rest, well a lot could be said about either but what's the point. I'd rather state that when it comes to whites being racially abused you were inaccurate. Edited by Stirlingsays (31 Jan 2021 10.42pm)

Do you know many black people from poorer backgrounds or in fact anybody from poorer backgrounds do you currently live on a council estate. The truth is poor people who act like c***s get a hard time from old bill or people whether they are white or black poor people who don't act like c***s fly under the radar like everybody else.

Why is it tougher to be black then white im sure the black people in London suffer more then the whites in Glasgow croxteth Norris Green Boston hartlepool Jaywick Tilbury ECT economically speaking all of the places with lowest life expectancy least jobs poorest are majority white places.

To all BAME on here. Strongly advise you get the jab. Can’t see what there is to lose. They’re bound to want proof before they let each one of us back in to Selhurst. I’d have it just for that. On the basis they haven’t been able to prove it stops transmission I’m not sure how there can be any justification for preventing access to the vaccinated over the unvaccinated. I’m not saying you shouldn’t have the vaccine I just don’t see why there should be one group favoured over another. If what you say happens the fanatics won’t be allowed back in for a couple of years and all we’ll have is Dads Army banging the drum.
