No im not. Read my post.
Not really I just dont agree with a symbol that represents a racist group intent on divide. Pick any other gesture and fine Ill happy support it but Im afraid BLM and all the hatred that it stands for I wont
Because the knee bending only came to the fore following the death of George Floyd and the prevalence of the BLM movement that brought violance and destruction to the community in the so called badge of anti racism. BLM was shown up for what they really represented and bending a knee was the symbol of support for that racist movement so no I wont show support for that however any other gesture that symbolises anti racism against all colours, nations and beliefs I will.
leaving aside your interpretation of both taking the knee and the movement for Black Lives, no one is asking you to cheer the City players who do it tomorrow, you are being asked not to boo.

So, hang on, you are telling me that Martin Luther King was a Marxist?Correct;
The idea of taking the knee as a protest has a long history. It’s steeped in the American civil rights movement. Martin Luther King, arguably the most famous civil rights activist of the 1950s and 60s, took the knee in Alabama in 1965 to show solidarity with protestors.
Not true, it didn't come to the fore following the death of George Floyd. It was a massive issue in the NFL and American sports way before that. Colin Kaepernick started taking the knee in 2016 and then fellow players and other teams followed.Because the knee bending only came to the fore following the death of George Floyd and the prevalence of the BLM movement that brought violance and destruction to the community in the so called badge of anti racism.

Show me the evidence that it was a parody account and fair enough But seing her dressed in a uniform more reminiscent of the IRA shouting anti white racist gestures in London doesnt fill me with support Im afraid.

So taking the knee is the problem. Just change that and everything will be fineCan someone explain to me then why some players when taking the knee also feel they have to do the black power fist pump. The taking the knee was a symbol adopted by the far left self confessed marxist group BLM who wish to defund the police, bringdown western society and in thee words of one of their leaders in the UK make the white man the slave.
whether you agree with BLM or not there is no getting away from the fact they are marxist, racist group.
As in all walks of life there are racists of all skin colours but the taking of the knee is seen by many to be a reflection of this hate group which is why some boo it. Those same people never booed the kick it out campaign and other anti racist campaigns. Calling people racist because they refuse to support a racist marxist movement like BLM which has also been condemned by many politicians is both hypocritical and very short sighted
None of them do that anymore. You watch, none of them stick their fists in the air. And for the billionth time, taking the knee is FUCK ALL to do with BLM. It’s purely about racism. I don’t know if you don’t like being told explicitly or you’d rather an anecdote to help you piece it together. I’ve got loads, they’re mostly for the 7-8 year old kids I teach, but they might work here.Can someone explain to me then why some players when taking the knee also feel they have to do the black power fist pump.

Yeah, his name was actually King Marxtin… he was like Darth Vader.So, hang on, you are telling me that Martin Luther King was a Marxist?
Taking the knee is nothing to do with BLMNone of them do that anymore. You watch, none of them stick their fists in the air. And for the billionth time, taking the knee is FUCK ALL to do with BLM.

Fuck you to you ignorant idiot. Get off your high horse and stop expecting that everyone must abide by you and your belief. We live in a free world and tour just like a few other idiots on here telling people to agree with their views. Throwing the race word about because they dont agree with your mindset. Ill support any anti racism campaign but wont clap or do anything else to satisfy you or the other idiots who think they are better than othersSo taking the knee is the problem. Just change that and everything will be fine
Also don’t hold your fist up. I’m not having that either.
fuck you c**t
I’d respect a decision if it had a factual basis. But fair enough if you don’t boo, not really sure what your argument is. This is against booing the knee, isn’t it?Taking the knee is nothing to do with BLM
I couldnt care less what you or anyone else says for that matter I have my reasons and wont boo or applaud the BLM gesture. It doesnt mean Im racist as Ive all ready said any other gesture Im behind but respect my decision as much as I respect yours. Unfortunately some on here have the lefty mind set of your racist if you dont do as I say and I wont give those people the steam of my urine.
we live in a free speech country and you crack on but I and others dont have to agree or abide by your views just like I dont expect you to agree with mine

Yeah, fuck the players!I couldnt care less what you or anyone else says for that matter
yeah im the ignorant one here lolFuck you to you ignorant idiot. Get off your high horse and stop expecting that everyone must abide by you and your belief.

Mate I wouldn’t even bother getting into this, one thing I’ve noticed in the last few years is that many from the left pose as liberals and free speech etc but if they hear something they don’t like and even if it’s in the correct context, like this thread, they just get nasty. I read an early post on this thread and the guy was putting his views across nothing particularly contentious (didn’t necessarily agree with them myself) in a really polite and respectful way and then all of a sudden he’s called a knob, a racist etc and his post most definitely did not come across that way. It’s a gang mentality. And given I would class myself as left leaning it’s sad to see the state of things now. It’s also really easy to hide behind a keyboard a play the big’un.Taking the knee is nothing to do with BLM

I remember being in Newcastle and twice stepped in physically to stop racist abuse - I won’t tolerate it, but on a thread like this it’s either you agree with us entirely or you’re a nazi. It’s a weird world. And just to point out - I would never boo anyone and respect people’s right to take the knee but even if you don’t that’s your right.
Yes. And it’s sad that we see it everywhere - against poc and on boards like this.People doing that to black players is part of the reason they're taking the knee in the first place.
Says the man who is sat at home pulling one off over a picture of Corbyn and shouting racist at anyone who dares disagree with your narrow minded point of view.Fuck off you tit. I bet you’re one of those flag shagging Farage acolytes that claims ‘all lives matter’ whilst insinuating you would prefer migrants drown
For someone who continuously defends the players' playing performance, you aren't half insulting to their intelligence.who dares disagree with your narrow minded point of view.
you seem to enjoy stereotyping people based on your own prejudice and banging away on the keyboard with abuse.
Honestly don’t understand what’s the problem is with players clenching their fist as they kneel?
Just individual choice.
Also why doesn’t Bez add racists to his ‘round ‘em up and hang ‘em high’ vendetta list alongside the nonces and the paedos?
