Yes and besides, every time I take a knee, Hazel next door thinks I am proposing to her.“Taking the knee” has had it effect but to go on and on indefinitely will dilute the effect the movement is there now and so it should be in my opinion it doesn’t need the knee anymore as it will be grabbed politically people will get pissed off with it and any momentum could be lost.
I think alot of players are doing it, and sportspeople in general... Just to keep the peace and not be vilified.
I mean look at how they tried to create an issue last night, it's almost not worth it, just bend the knee and pretend you care to keep the peace...
just get rid
It can be misunderstood so easily. This doesn't mean they think black people are the dominant race. All they are trying to do is raise awareness that black people deserve to be treated as equally as white people. At the end of the day all lives matter and whether you like it or not, agree or not, there is discrimination in this world against other races.
Getting quite disappointed with this place really. Seems so many posts daily that turn into politics and right v left etc. We all come here as City fans, tbf it's probably the only thing that unites us. We all have different backgrounds, not only religion, colour or political affiliation bht demographics of finance, job, parents, area even town, right through to IQ. Need to get a bit more respect for each other, know that our views aren't the only correct ones and be generally a bit nicer and stick to debating about the City. Leave all this crap for Twitter or FB or whatever site you like to rant on.
Sky Blue family all the way.

Calling someone a gammon makes me laugh mate. Its a typical left wing snowflake reply to anyone that doesnt agree with your lefty views. Havnt you got a students union meeting to go to. Anyway im off to work so ill leave you and the other leftys on here to think of some more insults to call someone who dares to disagree with you.
CovEndersI'm with you Rob all the way.
Although I have to say I'm pretty glad that SBT isn't my real family; it would be the most dysfunctional family of all time, some of the suspects on here turning up at family gatherings would be the stuff of nightmares and end of evening violence would be inevitable with the police called
I think Jobi McAnuff summed it up trying to whip up some anger.
He then said that in his previous game the ref said it wasn't happening and as captain of Orient his team didn't do it either.
Top Hypocrite. Let's stick with the "Not today or any day" thing that is still plastered everywhere and rightly so. It's not political in anyway.
On the whole I believe that to be the case. But that doesn't make it the same for everyone. Malcolm X is a big civil rights figure but it's often debated as to whether he was a black supremacist rather than equality advocate. Same with feminism - most want equality but there are definite undertones within the movement that seem to ultimately want supremacy, almost as if they're arguing that the patriachy has held sway for so long so it's only fair women get to dominate for a while.
For example, if you take a white person with a fist in the air shouting 'white power' would you consider that in the same way as a black person with a fist in the air shouting 'black power'? It's exactly the same thing being done but the reaction you'd likely get is the white person wants supremacy but the black person wants equality. Why? What part of the word 'power' is relatable to equality? It's a term of domination, not parity.
Was your research all on Breitbart by any chance?

A rather silly comment. Why don’t you look at the anti capitalist rhetoric from the extremist hierarchy of the actual group itself?
Some people are incapable of splitting an organisation from a movement anyway. Nobody, absolutely nobody can disagree with the statement that Black Lives Matter. That is not a political statement, that's a human one. You can be lefty, righty, libtard, whatever, and still agree with that.I've tried looking on their website for these things in the past and have never been able to find them. It may have changed since, I don't know. Can you provide me a link to the specific offending pieces please.

It's been a while since something was Godwinned.Would you describe Hitler youth as a movement or an organisation?

I don't remember a time when 'Hitler Youth' was an uncontentious statement tbh.
'Hitler Matters' would be somewhat contentious as a phrase.
Frankly, the only people politicising Black Lives Matter as a phrase are people who want to claim it's political. Why they can't just acknowledge that, well, Black Lives Matter and move on I don't really know, only they can answer that.
Do you accept Joshua Varasami is a key figure in this movement?
I don't get a lot of this thread. As far as I can see, only Sky (their job to sensationalise, they've been doing it with football for 25 years + I remember them going orgasic over Chester 0-0 Halifax as OMG the best game they've ever seen!) got upset with something that nobody else (bar the odd mentalist exception, who always exist anyway) was getting particularly upset about, and it's been the opportunity to throw in a few random lefty comments, then getting upset when they get something back in return.Makes me laugh that those who throw away ‘snowflake’ are actually those who complain and get upset the most.
I fail to see how that alters the statement that Black Lives Matter anyway. Unless they don't, of course...How many black people do you think have heard of him? I’ve never heard of him.

The whole argument they they’re only doing it because they can get away with it having no fans there is so distasteful. If players took a knee for the rights of black people not to be murdered and were then booed by their own fans I’d fully support them refusing to play.
do you really have to ask that? Maybe try thinking of the comparative positions of each party making the same gesture, and look at it as a fight, a struggle, a battle to achieve something they don’t currently have. Anyway this stuff is not football related any more, far from it.
