Wait, Gary was talking b0llocks? I for one am staggered.


Well lets not be too hasty.

Perspectives and attitudes may change over a period of time, there is evidence that certain terms were definitely not seen as problematic. That was a site from a little while ago.

Just like my use of the B-word, as was pointed out once, was deemed derogatory.

There is of course evidence going back to the summer of 2020, of people using the mixed race term, in a way that may well have been seen as acceptable back then.

But I think Gary will be along shortly, to explain, why this has now changed to be utterly offensive, and why that was the thing to take out of that post.

I am happy to be educated.

This country isn't perfect but it's still one of the least racist on the planet. It is easy to see what a horrible place this would be if the majority on this thread had their way. Reeducation camps within months and any remaining freedom of speech ended. Fortunately, though always a majority on football message-boards, the leftist anti-British mob remain a minority in the country for now.
You're absolutely right about the knee taking. I can't imagine anyone who holds racist views changing them one iota because of the nonsense that has gone on since George Floyd's death. I'm afraid the minds of the Mullets, etc. are closed but they might learn something by reading Thomas Sowell's "Black Rednecks and White Liberals", particularly on the sensitive subject of slavery.


I'm really intrigued to see you call me out directly here and call me closed minded, yet don't answer two of my posts on here directly. Why is that?

To then call me "anti-British" as well as the derogatory "leftist" by association is also an interesting and provocatively offensive take. I am far from anti-British, I am a unionist and an ardent anti-racist precisely because I am fully aware of my country's history, the good and the bad and because I was raised properly to judge a man by the content of his character.

What is it you think I can learn from one book exactly? Any historian worth their salt knows that a single source is the worst way in which to understand any topic, let alone one as amorphous as colonial atrocities and George Floyd's death which you smash together here. Why is that?

It is telling that my only recollection of you here is to engage with defending racism, abusing others and nothing else of note. Why is that?

By all means educate me, I'm always happy to engage. You don't seem to be able to say the same. Why is that?

Pretty sure if anyone saw you’d down arrowed it, we’d all know it was a mistake on your part Keno.

Also, if you refresh the page, you can cancel your arrow out by doing one in the opposite direction.

Have you no comprehension how utterly offensive the term 'mixed race' is?


My partner is half Indian and half German and she describes herself as mixed race and having experienced a lot of racism growing up in Watford in the 1970’s is very sensitive to what is acceptable and what isn’t.
