Good to see a Millwall player speak

Booing BLM whilst black players take to the knee is just awful.
He should've walked off the pitch .
I agree they should do away with this but whilst it's ongoing then do it out of respect.

That daft mob will boo him next time

Many people have different reasons for disliking BLM which will be that they are political, far-left, marxist etc.  I agree with these, but my main reason is that I'm white and they continually blame my group for stuff that isn't our fault.

Anti-black racism is talked up as a problem in general too.  This leads to widespread looting, vandalism and destruction of livelihoods by some Blacks whenever a incident of police brutality is reported.  Scratch the surface of these incidents and you often find that there's no evidence of racial discrimination at all and a narrative different from reality.

If there was systematic racism or widespread discrimination against Blacks then I'd want it ended.  The system in place in apartheid South Africa was evil, and the way many used to think of or treat blacks years ago was horrific.

We need to have a sensible debate about the slave trade and why crime stats for blacks are so high, rather than just 'blame whitey'.  Races have different average IQs, attributes and characteristics which lead to the differences between them in the social economic scale that we see IMO.  Also, where are the demands for reparations from Black Africans who caught their own people to sell to whites for a profit?

Sorry, but if Romeo's feelings were upset then I couldn't care less.

We'd be far better taking the knee for the thousands of victims of Islamic ra.pe gangs up and down the country.

How was the baptism?

It went well thanks.  It was a tough morning before we set off, but calpol did the trick and calmed him right down before we got there.

Shame we couldnt have all the guests we'd have liked, but these things happen.
