Flying Dutchman 744 Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) What a stupid thread to start. Completely irrelevant to a Norwich forum and it's simply baiting.

I'm ashamed to support the same team as you and it sickens me to think that I will be sitting in the same stadium as you. I hope you are proud of your racist and discriminatory views.

TheGunnShow 5,927 Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Few things say "snowflake" more than complaining about this gesture. That said, I do think Les Ferdinand made the point that it is essentially a form of slacktivism, and he would have a salient point there.

Michael Wynless Jones 161 Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) The problem with the knee is its now become a very empty gesture, and isn't actually achieving anything. It had an effect in the Villa v Sheffield match, but since I've twice seen players forget to take the knee and sprint off as if the game had kicked off instead, Mane for Liverpool and Rashford for England (irony hey?). Keep taking the knee..... Stop taking the knee doesn't bother me either way, but let's stop pretending it's actually achieving anything.

Yes, there are huge differences between different cultures, we find it quite hilarious sometimes when we come across these foibles with friends from different cultures, but that doesn't mean I'm better or worse than they are. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my opinion though anyone who thinks calling it “Black Lives Matter” looks right also thinks that calling it “White Lives Don’t Matter” looks just as right Quite frankly this shows a real lack of understanding of the issue. First, it is a gross logical non sequitur to claim that "white lives don't matter" follows from "Black lives matter", nothing of the sort is implied by the latter statement. But much worse it shows that you have little or no understanding of the concept of institutionalised racism. The statement "Black Lives Matter" (BLM) has a very intentional ellipsis, and where you think that ellipsis belongs will tell you an awful lot about your deeply embedded (sub-conscious) attitude to racism. If you think that the ellipsis belongs at the begining of BLM then you will naturally think the claim is "Only BLM". If you think that the ellipsis belongs at the end of BLM then you will naturally think the claim is "BLM Too". The first claim is racist, the second is an expression of equality. No-one with any intellectual or moral integrity could claim that the protest is claiming anything other than Black Lives Matter Too. To suggest that it is really claiming that only BLM shows at best a level of hostility to the idea of racial equality, and at worst blatant racism. Of course all lives matter, but "all lives matter" will only be true when black lives matter too. I have no doubt that you are not some swivel-eyed overt racist. But I do think the onus is on you, and indeed all of us, to examine very carefully what we say in debates like this to see whether it betrays some deep-seated sub-conscious attitudes that need addressing. I'm afraid that your attempted (false) equivalence between "Black lives matter" and "White lives don't matter" betrays a deep-seated worrying attitude.

A good number of those men are black and have suffered racist abuse from fans and fellow professionals alike. And some of those "burly and straight" men will be gay (Just like Justin Fashanu).

I don’t see the need to bring in people’s sexual orientation or politics into the game and how it enhances it what so ever, call me an old gammon but I enjoy my match day experience as it is, sorry if that is not woke enough for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
