Another race baiter to put on block.

Blocked by the racist video sharer, who jokes about child abuse.

I wonder where I went wrong.

It's had it's day and should have stopped at the end of last season.

It is now deeply divisive. We are all losers with this division, we are all winners if the division ends.

Time to get rid.

Quite happy to be divided from people who boo taking the knee thanks.

Great. Glad you are happy.

But constant culture war division brings some of us down very low.

There is a thread on the main board which sums up this bull shit manufactured 'culture war' perfectly (The Queen's picture). It's propagated by people who find it useful, politicians, newspaper editors, and those who it is most meant to appeal to, Das reich etc.
Anyone with an iota of of respect for others would never boo the knee, and while I think booing it isn't in itself racist, a lot of racists join in with it. Racism is not a legitimate point of view. It's not an opinion on one side of a debate. **** them.

and John Barnes has today called for it to stop as his view is that it's not helpful

"John Barnes hits out at England team taking the knee again – arguing ‘practical action’ on 'knife crime and education for young black kids' as more important

surely his opinion is relevant ???

:thumbsup:

He's so right on the education part. Relevant, I doubt it in this bloody place. People just want to call other people stupid names and create arguments.

It really is pathetic, in the last 24 hours I have had to block 3 anti Semitic thugs because of their inability to debate this subject properly. Truly pathetic.

How much practical action on knife crime and education does he hope to fit in in the 10 seconds of kneeling time?

People should be campaigning for education and action on knife crime regardless. Not using it as a reason to stop taking the knee.
The argument makes absolutely no sense. Both things can exist simultaneously. Or will people only tolerate a finite amount of pro-black activity at any one time?


Perhaps Barnes could head up the knife and education programs and the active players can keep up their kneeling, should they so wish?

NB- knife crime is a poverty driven crime, not a race driven crime.

This is a foolish and provocative tweet; but what exactly is your stance on protesting against race inequality?
Why do you randomly call other posters anti-semites?

First question, Racial inequality does not exist anymore in the UK.
Second question, because they are.

Thank you for responding.

So just to be entirely clear, you feel there is no racial inequality in Britain?

If so, please will you look at this in-depth study from 2020 and perhaps reflect on the statistics....

Regards the labelling of other NSC posters, please will you offer some evidence to support this rather damning terminology.....

To be honest it’s difficult to know what and who is racist anymore. There will be England fans booing the players taking the knee that are definitely racist according to some commentators.

Then again, there are other prominent England fans that regularly use the term “nigga” and perpetuate sexist tropes that are literally celebrated by the England team and its management.

This is a kind of shit could be a genius pythonesque ministry of racism sketch if we still did satire.

It's really not if they are ignorant, obvious and angry :shrug:

And although there are more ignorant and obvious examples on this thread, there's none close to your 41 posts on this particular thread. Quantity wins over quality everytime, particularly when the quality is supplied by Ppf, Baker lite etc :lolol:

I'm would say I'm a little surprised at what is allowed on NSC these days. Or maybe I'm not when I see who is posting it :wink:
