Isn't it time taking the knee was taken away from football?
Why? Has the oppression stopped? Priti Patel labeled them as thugs during BLM marches earlier in the year after injuring many police during their protests.
Which tells me that maybe they're doing something right. |

Do we support any other political party, veterans association or charities in this manner?
The movement is now called Black Liberation Movement. (Who knew that?)

Let's get back to football where black players seem to be doing ok.
Agree 100%. At the end of the day ALL Lives Matter, but kneeling does nothing. But where does racism stop/start ?, Had a movement started called 'White Lives matter' surely that would have been classed as racist. Black players have contributed enormously to our leagues in recent years, and long may it continue, however how much longer must we have this racism thing rammed in our faces ?, this is the reason fans are starting to protest, enough is enough, lets just get back to football whatever the colour. |

But surely no-one could be so staggeringly unaware as to ask this question and not consider that perhaps Black/POC are more than just a little fed up of still facing racism, both implicit and explicit, in their daily lives. Surely not. |

If this is how far all the messaging has brought us over the last 40 years, you’re not close to hearing the end of it. Jeez. |

Jesus fucking christ. What an ignorant cunt you are! Do you not think that maybe black people would like to stop having the 'racism thing' rammed in their faces as well? Maybe they should just go back into their place and be quiet about being killed and stuff, and why should the rest of us non-blacks care about the oppression and murder? Fuckwit. |

Fuckwit.
Thank you for the compliments. Racism will continue to fester whilst these organisations continue to complain about the past. Yes, things have happened that should not have happened, however racism now is much less than it was in the 70's. That is what I am trying to say. We have come along way since then and we do not need reminding every time we watch a match. Black lives DO matter but there comes a time when people do get a little fed up with it continually being thrown at us. Sorry if you don't agree with my comments. |

Sadly TownEnders' views represent a large proportion of the population, particularly in rural areas.

Oh, so that makes it OK then? Let's just tell all these oppressed folks, and the people who have lost loved ones, know that they should settle down because it's better than it used to be. |
