Just watching their spokesperson on Sky explaining why they got involved in the Clattenburg incident.
Firstly, referring to whatever may have been said as 'Race hate' is way over the top but what I found interesting was him thinking Juan Mata was black.
It seems that all that is needed is someone to cry 'Race' and people disregard any actual facts.
Getting a bit McCarthy-ish this race issue

Minor figure in attempting to gain fame by leeching on to wider issue shock.
All this needs is Max cunting Clifford to turn up.

That's what he thought
'When comments were made to 2 black Chelsea players - John Obi Mikel and Juan Mata'

What happened? Unaware of this. Getting hacked off by every top of the news story on Talksport being hijacked by the female newscaster telling us of the latest Twitter remark regarding race. As if that's the be all and end all of the world's problems.

It was the Society of Black lawyers that contacted the Met Police and urged them to take action against Mark Clattenburg.
The fact that none of their members were at the game it seems it was enough to read the media reports on what 'allegedly' happened to get them to intervene.
But describing it as a race hate crime . . . well, FFS

Yeh Kerry, fucking ridiculous. Can't recall the last time I heard a news round up that didn't include some snippett of Twitter gossip, he said this that and the other, could cause offense nonsense. I am not outraged by remarks, it's a free speech country, i'm disgusted by acts of violence, so please Talksport, lay off the Twitter obsession, however noxious people's musings can sometimes be.

Apparently so. There's the Society of Indian Lawyers based in Kuwait, who are wonderfully abbreviated to as INLAWS. |

I really don't see the point of any organisation which limits its memberships and activities to a specific race or skin colour. If anything it does more harm to getting rid of racism as it causes more segregation rather than integration. Still find it amazing that they allow them, can't see them allowing a Society of White Lawyers.
The other issue is that the people running these organisations always come across as extremists to me, the head of the Society of Black Lawyers being a prime example. Think he was the one pushing for a black players association last week. All they do is shit stir which doesn't help anyone or anything in the long run.
Whilst they are viewed as black lawyers rather than lawyers we've got a problem that needs solving.
