Right-wing media:
"Job done" |
A great job! We wouldn't want any racists to get away with being racist, would we? |  | | |

...unless they're in places where they can't be holding any responsibility or do any harm. Like, say Prime Minister. |  |

I realise it must come as a shock to you to discover racism is not solely confined to white men... |
Haha! Nice one! You got me totally there I have to admit... |  |

Nope, we certainly don't, and as you've so admirably proved: "Job done" | |

Sounds like you agree that the people found to be racist should be held accountable for their actions and the resultant impact. |  | | |

Disgusting comments. Decent apology.
Nothing to do with YCCC unless antisemitism was another form of racism rife withing their walls. | | | |

At some point he'll get cocky, get too obvious and Phil will ban him. [Post edited 19 Nov 2021 1:07]

Indeed.
If this has already been brought to their attention and not dealt with by Yorkshire CCC, it only makes the whole thing worse. However, I suspect it was not. Which then begs the question why has it come to light now? Has someone been desperately trying to get this dealt with and only now got attention? Or has someone chosen to bring this to light in order to somehow reduce the impact of the abuse Rafiq has already brought to light?
Well handled by Rafiq and exactly what he is seeking from those he has brought attention to. They cannot change what they did historically, however, they can apologise and do all they can to prevent it happening in the future. |  |

A Murdoch-owned paper spreading hate? Surely not! | |

From the Alex Hales article:
Nick Lowles, chief executive of Hope Not Hate, added: “There is no scenario in which blackface is acceptable. To describe it as a ‘tribute’ is beyond reproach.”
One party-goer at the bash in Nottingham in 2009 recalled: “We couldn’t believe it when he arrived. Even back then it was utterly frowned upon. He just didn’t seem to care.”
Especially for the benefit of those who might be saying it was different times. It really wasn't in 2009. | |

There's a few reasons why Hales will never get near an England team again, even if you take out the racist stuff of the last week. |  |

I wonder what it is about the openly racist, corrupt and incompetent Boris Johnson that appeals to Oldboy. | |

antisemitism is racism. It's racism against Jews. Just as Islamophobia is racism against Muslims. |
Absolutely, 100% correct. Racism is racism. |  | | |

To be honest it’s hardly surprising, just for one moment it helps all of us to put ourselves in Rafiq’s shoes, imagine suffering racism for most of your life from school age onwards then embarking on the career of your dreams only to find it continuing there too, you must feel under siege? Constant prolonged racism must almost normalise it? I’m not excusing what he said but surely as a person of colour he’d suffered way above and beyond what many of us could imagine. Just proves how far as a nation we still have to go regarding racism. | | | |

Nothing about Boris Johnson appeals to me. Not sure why you are asking, but always happy to answer. |  | | |

For all of us the simple life lesson is this
“Don't be racist”
It’s an incredibly easy instruction to follow with obvious benefits for all. | | | |

I am not a racist. Really not sure why you are suggesting that I am. I find it very offensive that you are suggesting that I am. | | | |

Solomon didn't suggest you were a racist. He said "For all of us". | |

Apologies if you read it that way, it was a generalisation. Sorry if this inadvertently offended you. | | | |
