Blimey, I just dropped into this thread to see what is the latest thing wrong with football and found more about what is wrong with society.
I was fully aware that the world is full of racist fuckwits, just didn't realise there were so many frequenting here..

There's been a lot of anti racist slogans and work done in football over the years, kick it out etc. Why is this one causing so much grief? When it started in the US I think it tended to coincide with the national anthem? Am I right?
I think some people (wrongly) are taking it as a stand against the establishment rather than a unity symbol. Who knows.

"Taking a knee" predates BLM etc by some 50-odd years. It was widely used during the civil rights protests of the 1960s as a symbol of peaceful defiance against racism by civil rights campaigners. Some people who like to be racist but don't want to admit it, are now pretending they think it's a symbol of "Marxism" because they don't like "having anti-racism shoved down their throat" but realise that objecting to anti-racism makes you look a bit, erm, racist. |

Possibly because events over the last few years have emboldened racists and made actions which would have been unthinkable 4 years ago mainstream. The appetite for racist policies has always been here in Britain, however until recently its been OK to be racist. It's just not OK to be seen to be racist, that seems to have fundamentally changed. Its been noted today that what was the election pitch of the National Front in 1970 has on the whole basically become Tory policy in 2020, thus what was 'far right' 50 years ago is now mainstream. |

Do you have examples of racist policies? I'm not doubting you, I just hate politics and don't tend to bother with it  |

The open and unashamed alignment of the Tories in the EP with neo nazi groups and anti Muslim parties. Windrush Hostile Environment Stop and Search The above may not have been intended initially to be fundamentally racist, but the manner in which successive governments have chosen to deliver have led to that effect. Albeit the blame cannot be laid entirely at the door of our politicians, the media has also played a part in stoking the hate which seems to have infected us as a nation.  |
