By pointing out, on a racism in football thread, that once upon time there's been racist chanting at our games?

You liked a post saying I was lying.

I proved I wasn't.

Think you need to grow up :lol:

Read the edit.

I've now read the edit. It makes even less sense as there was no fishing as I simply highlighted a fact, which I then proved. And a post about racism on a thread about racism is about as far from irrelevant as you can get.

You liked a post saying I was fishing and lying. I proved otherwise.

Nowt else really so dunno why you're losing your shit old bean :lol:

Gilly, who thought I was fibbing, took it the right way. He was proven to be mistaken. And that was that.
 
Only a handful of black players in the 70s I dont recall them making a fuss or complaining plus I dont remember any racist groups at any particular club, Spurs were always known as the yids as well was never a big deal.
Last time I heard racism from a large group of Sunderland supporter was away at Watford in the early ninety, a brave young woman confronted them. We had Benno and Rueben playing for us back then.

Fishing, yes. Lying, that was not my intention It’s not something I would accuse anyone of. I stand by the rest. its an observation. My opinion, it Doesn’t amount to a fart in a thunderstorm. I’ve much more relevant issues to lose my shit over. This afternoon being one of them.

How can stating a fact be fishing marra (especially when also acknowledging we had the punjab army as to show we aren't exactly a bunch of right wingers)?

And aye, I'm worried sick about this afternoon. Should be able to beat Scotland surely ;) (joking, that would be fishing)

My experience is that the younger generation seem to be far less racist (or less ignorant) than in my younger days, but some of the older generation are being more brazen about their right wing views. I think the brexit debate has emboldened them.
You're right about the generation thing but some younger people are more likely to act like dicks and say things to shock.

I'm not so sure about the Brexit thing. I think the anti immigrant sentiment was always there and people are often vocal about it including minorities already in the UK.

Its always been there but Brexit tapped into that and played on it. Those who a couple of years ago wouldn't have nesercerilly voiced those opinions seem to have been emboldened by current events here and in the states.

If people think like that, it's better to have it out in the open so the problem can be addressed.

Until the problem of immigration is acknowledged and addressed relations will not improve. The problem lies with lack of investment in services and infrastructure. Without improvements in these areas, blame will always go towards people who take up space in already stretched doctors, housing lists etc. They just want a better life but tell that to someone waiting ages for a house.
