Racism at Yorkshire CCC

And? If something bad happens somewhere else does it mean it's OK to do it here?

If someone you knows has a beravement, do you say "oh well they would have had a shorter life if they lived in India" or some such contrived bollocks?

Keep your hair on.
I was simply correcting a gentleman who said they had no history of racism and inequality.
Of course it's not ok here.

I get some of that. So okay, someones used an example that Stan Collymore who is black, wasnt personally offended by people blacking up as Bob Marley.

do you feel comfertable telling him he is wrong and needs to be offended on behalf of his fellow race?

Where did he say he was offended on behalf of his entire race mate?

You’re sick of hearing about it, but here you are actively clicking on and posting on a thread about it?

Fuck off, cretin

If there’s one silver lining tonight, it’s that I’ve been able to block quite a few idiots who are seemingly unable to read, or are that thick and pig headed that they choose to ignore what has been said by numerous people.

This. The amount of people on my ignore list has shot right up.

Stan collymore wasnt offended by blacking up. But you as a white man were offended on behalf of the BAME community. Odd to me.

There is that much blatant racism in the world I dont see why people need to froth at the mouth over something an minor or innocent as blacking up (or chalking up) for fancy address, but thats just me.

I’m maybe a bit thick, old fashioned and pragmatic and not as alert to injustice, prejudice and discrimination as many people are these days.

Mate I've already told you I can't be offended on behalf of anyone besides myself. Nobody can be offended on behalf of anyone besides themselves.

Again, where did Stan Collymore claim to be offended on behalf of anyone besides himself?

Racism is a form of abuse. How somebody acts to that abuse is their perogative. But the only person they're reacting on behalf of is them.

I imagine you're disgusted by paedophilia when you read about it but I doubt you'd claim be offended on behalf of every living child just because you recognise its abhorrent .

I dont see how the thread needs locking. Yes racists are here but they haven’t said anything blatantly offensice, they are more making tits of themselves asking why we can’t call someone from Pakistan a P@Ki. :lol: Others are getting triggered for no reason.
It’s a good open debate.
 
The black face thing got me thinking that I was sure a lad I worked did this as Michael Jackson 'thriller' around 2008 at a party. Just checked and he did.

Pity the lad if the pictures ever come out. I didn't think anything of it at the time. Couldn't imagine it happening now

I could dismantle and systematically destroy this post but by bit but haven’t got the time and inclination and this thread is having an impact on my own mental health. It smacks of someone who has taken a quarter interest in the story - being unaware of the background to why Rafiq returned to Yorkshire for example. Yet another example of someone who had little interest in this when all they knew was a person of colour being systematically racially abused on a daily basis by white cricketers, administrators, managers and commentators etc. then had massive interest when person of colour is seen to have sent a couple of unjustifiable racists tweets 10 years ago when he was a teenager. I had decided to give this thread a wide birth but when you see racism and bigotry right in front of you it’s really difficult.
Who are you to call people racist for that particular post , embarrassing. Get off the moral high ground stuff and respect other peoples views.
In that post I have criticised Yorkshire massively.
My point being ballance, hoggard Vaughan Lloyd etc the comments are not right In any way shape of form and are shocking however the Victim in this has displayed similar awful views and should be discussed likewise to the others.
Because people are giving alternative views based on fast that don’t match yours all u can do is go ‘Racist’ sad behaviour

Les Ferdinand who is a vehement anti racist and had done some great work regarding racism definitely wouldn’t have seen the funny side.

Well if stan collymore said it's ok i guess it's case closed.

i think you need a better guardian of your morals.
 
🔴EXCLUSIVE: More than 1,000 whistleblowers have come forward in the past week to alert English cricket to potential cases of abuse in the wake of the Azeem Rafiq racism furore
(nicked off Facebook cricket page) - So Tom Harrison emerges from the meeting at the Oval today proclaiming " I received the backing of the game today" : Really?

I know quite a lot of cricket fans and I can assure Tom Harrison that he does not have the backing of the vast majority of the cricket fans that I know.

Fans that I know are unhappy and disillusioned with him for his total failure to act in the best interests of our game on his watch . He has chased money above all other considerations , and harmed the game in that process He has also failed to step and deal with the debacle at Yorkshire until it became clear that Yorkshire investigating themselves was resulting in a very predictable cover up.

The fact that he thinks that he has the backing of the game after surviving the meeting today speaks to the fact that cricket fans voices need to be heard at the top of the game . If they were heard then Tom Harrison would be left in no doubt that he does not currently have the "backing of the game":

I love the authority with which white liberals speak on behalf of "minorities". "X is offensive to black people but y is OK" - says who?

These people probably hardly know any "minorities". If they did then they'd know that black people, for example, aren't a hive mind. Some would be offended by black face, some wouldn't give a shit. But that doesn't stop the white liberal defining what's racist or not on behalf of people they don't even know.

Same thing happens with homosexuality and discrimination & all sorts. Massive amount of righteous virtue signalling and bandwagon jumping.

Progress comes in two stages, very very slowly then very very quickly. With regard to racism, it feels like we're reaching stage two.

Progress always comes eventually. It doesn't matter how long those that love the status quo try to obstruct, they will lose as the next generations take over. They will look at a phrases such as 'virtue signalling' and 'PC gone mad' with disdain, old language for those who resisted change.
