And there doesn't seem to be as much outrage from them as I thought there'd be. Because it highlights that black lives don't matter to a large number of other black people. Something we can easily see from reading the news about South London and Birmingham every week. I expect BLM would have preferred their leaders not to have been caught up in gangs, however.

Not as extreme an example as yours, but many years ago I gave my month’s notice as I had got a new job at a company owned by a ‘non-white’ family. On the Friday before the Monday that I was due to start, with leaving cakes bought for the office, I got a call from them saying that I wouldn’t be getting the job after all as the owner was giving the role to his cousin...Apparently that was okay...
As I have said many times, you don't know what you are talking about. To be white in certain areas is dangerous, yet this isn't true in reverse. Yet I don't believe in nor talk the conceptual and unrealistic theories that you do.
hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing. |

If British players want to take the knee then they should be able to do so witout booing. What the italians do is up to them. Italy fought on the side of the facists, didn't have an empire like we did, the Roman Empire had slaves but it was not to do with colour and Italy does not have the same ethnicity mix as the UK. We were a key nation in the slave trade when it was about supposeldy black inferiority and have a toatally diferent history in that respect. After the war we had a sever labour shortage and needed to draw on the empire and we have integrated fairly well ever since. Good old Gareth Southgate. A Palace boy. A club in a multi racial area and acknowledging it. I'm much as proud of that as I am embarrassed by this ignorant red neck Palace site. I look forward to England taking the knee to acknowledge that black lives matter which is actually acknowledging a change. COME ON YOU ENGLAND!

By explaining what it is footballers actually want and how they’re going to change society in order to get it?

The guy who wrote on here, 'so what is English anyway?' Now wants to talk to me about patriotism. You're as fake as fake can be. I'll support the team in the match, however I won't support the submission politics before it. No Englishmen in the past would kneel, unless it's before their god, 'king' or proposing marriage. This is your divisive politics, not mine.
