A very powerful moment in British sport

[StrangerThings]

Why are people so against the Black Lives Matter campaign? Can people tell me why it bothers them so much?

Part of making sure that all lives matter is making sure they’re all equal first.

This. The black lives matter movement is in no way suggesting that other lives don't matter!

They are in my eyes

 

[ungowa]

Whatever the rights or wrongs of what happened and its consequences

I'm f***ing sick of having the bastard rammed down my throat
Just fuck right off.

Good to see the Premier League standing up for human rights.

Let's hope they continue to do so.

Most people don't want our police defunded or statues pulled down. The Premier League think differently by the looks of things

Every time I go to Spain benalmadena or Benidorm on holiday the black men in the streets that sell tat keep calling me or other white men "del boy"
I'm not outraged or offended by it

Think the gripes of black people living in America over the last 200 odd years probably aren't in the same ball park as your useful anecdote.

Racist

Because they're racist.

 

[Steak Pie]

A movement by the people, corporations jump on board.

It's the political protest equivalent of Nickleback.

Great story. And no harm done. Any particular relevance to the thread by the way?

Racist

How?

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Did they have a minute for all the victims of CV-19 as well?
Serious question as I don't have Sky.

Yes.

 

[tenpins]

Because they're racist.

Nail on the head.

In they eyes of far too many, they're not, and sadly, far too many of them are in positions of authority.

My issue is the narrative spun in this country that there is no issue with crime in black communities or poor performance by black boys in secondary school but that it's a part of an institutional bias that seeks to oppress black people. I keep seeing statistics trotted out that allegedly prove racism rather than accepting the possibility of other factors.

I said I see people as equal regardless of race and you told me to open my eyes implying that all people are not equal.
That makes you a horrible racist twat.

You're about 20 years behind. The whole point of treating people equally is about recognising their differences.
