It seems the Gov can be slammed 24/7
People can be vile toward Tory MP's.
Who else? Norwich are fair game. That's a given.
However, when I dared to criticize a muslim the post was removed and a few people showed a dislike.
Why?
I guess I stepped on a 'woke' landmine.
It's sad when you can't offer-up genuine and polite criticism of a religion. Especially after that religion had screamed and screamed at a cricket club for celebrating a victory.
So, Essex CCC are allowed to be slammed by a person of religion but said person isn't allowed to be criticized?

You're virtually there in nailing it.
The bloke who complained, demanded apologies and was exasperated that Essex CCC didn't bow down and issue unreserved apologies.
He should have just reminded the young muslim player to step back when the booze was around rather than going national and demanding reverence.
I am sure the young lad felt he'd got carried away, wouldn't you! and ought to have stepped away. |
He's right at the edge in the corner to be fair. |  |

You have insinuated several times that it was the player himself who complained.
Then used the word 'them' several times without much context.
It's not certain even you know who you're upset with, but one thing is clear, whoever it is, they are most certainly brown and a muslim. That's the only consistency here. |  |

It doesn’t sound like it was the player himself who complained, I can’t see any quotes from him in the article ... |  |

Can't see how generalising about an ethnic group in the manner you did could be seen as anything other than racist. |
Not complicated is it. | |

I disagree Phil.
I'm talking about one person who has spoken out. That person is wrong to make such demands.
Here is something from a friend in my cricket whatsapp group...this chap is a muslim btw and loves a drink.
"Most of the Muslims I know enjoy their drink. As long as celebrations are away from cameras, most probably they won't mind."
It kind of makes him look more foolish.
I am not racist and implying I am is wrong. | |

HB, some friendly advice, just take the evening off and chill out.
You’re becoming a little obsessed with this whole ‘woke left’ thing, the world really ain’t out to get you and your values.
I think you’re almost certainly a decent guy and would certainly welcome a chat about footy or cricket over a beer but your mind is being poisoned from somewhere, you’re angry about all the wrong things and are being manipulated to hate this latest bogeyman. It’s sad to see you getting angrier by the day. |
Good post, M14.
We have had our fair share of FLA types and guys from a different age who don't think there is much wrong with casual racism.
However, this is the first full on modern far right 'bring down the left / antifa / woke culture at any cost' member of the board that I can remember.
If anyone needs proof of how poisonous far right news sources and social media can be its above. |  | | |

You didn't just criticise the individual involved - who I think had a legitimate complaint even if I can understand in the circumstances it was exuberance and thoughtlessness rather than anything malicious - you complained about muslims in general. |  | | |

You are not racist. In fact some of your best friends are coloured. [Post edited 29 Sep 2020 20:35]

To be fair, I don’t think anyone should make a huge deal out of this. I think a simple apology from Essex is about proportionate ... which it seems is pretty much what happened ... no dramas here ... | |

Who all happen to drink alcohol too apparently.
I have known a lot of Muslims in my time, through work especially, and none of those I have ever known drink.
That's not to suggest no Muslims drink, but certainly not those who are strong in their religion, and most definitely not most, or even many. Many find it an affront to be around, let alone have some poured over their head.
That would be like sneaking pork into their food and calling them 'woke' for doing their nut...
I have however, known an awful lot of Hindus and especially Sikhs who like a drink, but I guess it's hard to tell the difference. [Post edited 29 Sep 2020 20:43]

so what you're saying is that somebody saw something that offended him and over-reacted?
and then Phil removed the thread....
To be fair the quotes from the guy at the end of the article seem a bit OTT, but he doesn't seem to have been there or have a connection with either team ("described the pictures...") [Post edited 29 Sep 2020 21:05]

Disagree.

Utterly wrong to be so arrogant and aggressive toward Essex CCC. That bloke should be embarrassed. Pouring beer over your head is a normal celebration in cricket. The chap ought to have not been on the balcony, he also looked like he was having a great time.
There. That is more polite.
Why should Essex CCC be forced into apologising? They did nothing wrong. He should be more tolerant and less demanding that everyone follows his own code. One big melting pot. |
It looks to me like the only person offended by all of this is you! You are coming across as a bit of a melt. Sometimes when backed into a corner it is better to reassess rather than kick out more. |  |

That's a daft post. What's wrong with showing some consideration for someone? If he wasn't happy, fair enough they apologised and they move on. No need to make an issue about it just because he's a muslim. He could be a Klingon for all it matters. It's not an issue and it's a bit of a rubbish BBC article. |  |

The worst thing about you is some decent posters on here don't jump on you but actually try to point out the error of your ways and suggest you go try and educate yourself but you refuse. I think you get some kind of kick out of it and shows you up for the unpleasant individual you are. |  |

I always give Hammers the benefit of the doubt, as it takes all sorts and some people have views that are just not of this time. Which is fine really. There are a lot worse than Hammers these days. But when it starts to look more like an agenda, then I'm not so sure. And it's starting to look like an agenda rather than a will to understand. | |

Which is how most began once upon a time, but it wears thin after the hundreth attempt.
In the end you realise it's a waste of time. People who are dyed in the wool racists aren't going to look for ways to change. | |

He can think what he likes but I resent him spamming the board with this shît everyday, especially as he's not interested in genuine discussion. Whatever point gets put to him is just flat out ignored and his pathetic wah wahing continues at an even greater pace. [Post edited 29 Sep 2020 21:18]
