How have you come to that conclusion? Millwall released a statement before the last game explicity stating they weren't taking the knee in support of BLM, something I don't think any other club had to do.
If you think the booing was for reasons other than racism you might want to take a look at the responses from their fans to that statement. Or the responses from their fans to what happened at the weekend.
That's why they coin the term 'silent majority'. No evidence that people think like them so they just take it that there are loads of people too scared to say what they truly think and agree with the general consensus to fit in.
When the simplest and most likely explanation is that they just don't think like you.
Why do racists always think that the majority of people think like them when all evidence says that the majority of people don't?

I suppose everyone in that poll is racist too?
People like Earlsdon need to realise that the vast majority of people if questioned about their views on the links between BLM and Marxism would say "what are you talking about".
It's confirmation bias really isn't it. They see people on twitter spouting the same views as them so they think that everyone thinks they same forgetting that they only follow people who think like them. It's the same issue the far left have as well.

Can't say I think this is the way to go. Millwall players kneel, Millwall fans boo. Next game, Millwall players don't take the knee, Millwall fans win.
Does come across a bit like that doesn't it?
He's not that divisive. The majority think he's a c**t and not just the silent ones.You are probably one of the most divisive people on this thread, if not the forum. It's a disgrace that you try and take such a moral high ground on an issue as serious as this.

I think it's fair to say that it's raised racial tension. That is a result of challenging things. It's exposed a lot of people. I don't think you are a racist if you acknowledge the fact it has raised tension.BLM is not that whatsoever. It is a divisive piece of activism that has done nothing but set race relations back.

I suggest you look at the poll again. A lot of people who voted were from BAME backgrounds (hate to use that term, but there you go).
White people were more likely to believe that the BLM movement, which was given fresh momentum by global outrage at the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May, had increased racial tensions
He does't really as the players made a statement before the game explicitly stating it wasn't in support of a political movement.He has a point:
Yes, I agree. They should have used a name that made them more easily identifiable.If they aren't affliated to the other UK one and the US one, why use the same name?
This is what I don't get, the website was setup in June and George Flloyd was killed in May. So if they didn't want to be affiliated then why not pick a different term?
It is more to me that everybody jumped on the BLM stuff without realising what the US one (and that UK version linked to the US version) stood for.
If I didn't want to be clouded with the BNP, I wouldnt go and buy BNP.org.uk when they use BNP.co.uk and wonder why people think it's the same.
Much easier to steer clear of BLM and use a different name that makes it clear, "everybody against racism" etc etc.
I'm not sure how you could take booing of the players taking the knee as anything other than a racist gesture when the players explicitly stated they were taking a knee purely against discrimination and not in agreement with any political messaging or ideology.I've already covered this.
Millwall have a reputation for a reason. That still does not mean booing taking the knee is a racist gesture. A lot of people disagree with the statement. Rather than calling everyone a racist under that category, perhaps a bit of common sense needs to be applied.
Yes and look, racist!!!!He has a point:
But if you're a Millwall fan that has spent months reading the Mail, Facebook and Twitter advising that the BLM organisation is bad, then a statement from the players won't swing it.He does't really as the players made a statement before the game explicitly stating it wasn't in support of a political movement.
Wait! What? Millwall fans can read?But if you're a Millwall fan that has spent months reading the Mail, Facebook and Twitter advising that the BLM organisation is bad, then a statement from the players won't swing it.

Well...but I’m not a neo nazi.
Well...
Thinking about it, I do have a liking for black shirts...Old fashioned classic Nazi thank you. So much more style than the skinheads.
And for some strange reason I've always had this desire to live in Moseley Avenue.Thinking about it, I do have a liking for black shirts...
