Il stand and fight with you too against discrimination of disabled people greggs ..

But I have to ask the question , is it all really about you wanting me and hill to fight ...disgusting behaviour , strange šŸ˜‰

The banter King suddenly lost his banter
So its ok for Hill to be offended and aggressive when people give him shit for being 1/4 black, but i get offended for someone saying something fucked up and you want to fight against me? Why did you take sides? Bizarre

Greggs I donā€™t think Otis is accepting discrimination. Iā€™m not either. I thought Hills comment was insensitive and disgusting and making it he devalued his original argument. He has since apologised and admitted he shouldnā€™t have made the comment, his apology seemed genuine enough to me as heā€™s not really a confrontational poster on here
He also apologised to me via PM. Known him forum wise for quite a while and it was a heat of the moment comment, which any of us could be guilty of. And to be fair I was talking shit after a couple of beers. Not that it's an excuse for that type of insult, but it's water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned.

He doesn't though does he.

Hill said it in the heat of the moment and he was wrong and he apologised. I hate that word too. We all know Hill has black heritage. He didn't know about the disability in your family. That's not excusing it by any means though.
Tbf I'm not sure that's helping. If the only reason people aren't racist to Hill is because we know he has black heritage, in many ways that's worse. I know that's absolutely not what you meant of course, but just for clarity.

Yes. Badly phrased perhaps. It wasn't what I meant.

I actually hadn't got as far as you and Hills spat before I skipped forward and commented ... my post is a generalisation , not to the people on this board
No need for that you absolute c**t

Out of curiosity, do we have any disabled people on this forum? I am. The definition of disabled is quite broad, and I have mobility issues (not age ā€˜appropriateā€™ but caused my spine issues), so am not ā€œspasticā€ by the actual definition of the word. But itā€™s an insult that gets thrown at all disabled people.

I even think abuse of disabled people is, in some ways, worse than abuse of people of colour. The colour of your skin doesnā€™t make you less capable of doing things. It is literally an insult based on bigotry. Discrimination of disabled people highlights the ā€˜flawsā€™ that we are all acutely aware that we possess. You say to someone that they have brown skin as an insult, and thereā€™s literally no basis for thinking that a black / brown / pink / green person is any less capable than a white person. But disabled people obviously are less capable.Itā€™s the very meaning of the word ā€œdisabledā€. To point that out to us isnā€™t helpful and causes pain and resentment.

So if anyone should take offence at @hill83 comments, itā€™s me.

But, he knew heā€™d said the wrong thing. We all say the wrong thing sometimes. Itā€™s a good example of why we need to educate people rather than piling in and putting them down. Hill changed his stance. How many of the Millwall cunts have ever apologised for their clearly racist stance? None, because they canā€™t see that itā€™s wrong. Hill did.

If we, as a society, want to get past these kinds of discrimination, then we need to be able to accept it when someone says they were wrong. Iā€™d put good money on it that Hill doesnā€™t use that word again on this forum. Thatā€™s the difference. If we all can learn when we fuck up, and try our best not to repeat the mistake - what more can we ask for?

I've stopped reading a lot of the posts as some are getting very emotional which I can understand. The thing that fucks me off with all these uneducated thick racist cunts is why is colour an issue.
All I see in people is another human being. For fuck sake it's 2021 and we're still having this conversation. Please fuck off from my club.

Sorry about the swearing but we should be over this.

Mrs BSB has a visual impairment, which has clearly worked in my favour. Which means she often gets grief for needing to stare in closely to read things at the shop or on a screen. At the football it means we have to sit close up to the pitch and central enough for her to see whatā€™s going on. Richard Osman has the same condition

Great post.

Kids sometimes pick on inherent `differences' like physical traits, mental health, skin colour etc but vast majority grow up & realise its not on.

Except for Millwall. Get back in the sea
