Anti-Racism Day tomorrow

[fataddick]

Tomorrow's game is Charlton's 18th annual Red, White and Black day, the longest running anti-racist day in British football, and something that predates the national Kick It Out campaign whose fortnight of action it forms part of.

Worthy cause that it is (we started it in response to the murder locally of Stephen Lawrence), those attending the game with hangovers should be pre-warned that it usually involves 500 schoolkids on the pitch at half-time banging huge African drums. Ow.

Can't we just concentrate on the football

What about those with yellow skin ?

 

[Billy the Fish]

What about those with yellow skin ?

Or brown.

I find this highly racist if it's only open to white and black people.

 

[fataddick]

I find this highly racist if it's only open to white and black people.

And red people.

 

[Billy the Fish]

And red people.

Do they import some northerners from benidorm to fill that quota?

Does that same premise apply to daily.nationals?

 

[Braders]

surely EVERYDAY is Anti-Racism Day?

 

[Billy the Fish]

Whay isn't there a pro-racism campaign to balance this out? We can't have the chuffing antis having all their own way.

Definitely this!

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

It wont stop the homophobic chanting though.

I thought that was GROUNDHOG day?

 

[Uwinsc]

Don't know if this has been put anywhere on here but apparently Kuipers was racial abused at Barnet the other day. Also some really nastly chants about his family and stuff.

 

[Stoo82]

Can we still take this piss outta the French?

 

[Notters]

It wont stop the homophobic chanting though.

It won't start. I expect the chorlton to be silent again.

What was he doing in Barnet ?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

If I was going to abuse anyone ... Michel Kuipers would be the LAST person I'd choose.
