There are a lot of people in this thread who are questioning the politics of BLM (in all of it's incarnations), rather than questioning their own personal politics and how they might relate to racism. A lot of inner-turmoil going on and no one doubts a lot of you may be super nice people.

The term I used is generally currently accepted (in a broad sense, context is important here...). You don't need to feel embarrassed for calling me out etc, at least you're looking at the language people are using. What Greg Clarke said was different and regarded as a racist term (albeit maybe...

How could an anti-racist movement, one that is attempting to address systemic and institutional racism (as well as the more obvious kinds) NOT be associated with politics?

I took it as a compliment tbh 😉

Would in general agree with the first part. There is clearly going to be a left/right political aspect to it because of the way political systems work (or don't work) for a lot of people of colour. Clearly there will be outliers, but the general point remains the same. I'd also love to see a...

What is the "whole world of other stuff" that concerns you, out of interest? I think I can probably guess, but I would also like to know.

Mate, come on. Imagine if someone thought of something like that, just imagine. Surely no one would oppose such serious activism... ...

Nah not everyone, just fucking loads of them To be fair, I wrongly assumed it would be an anti-BLM thing, which it isn't. I certainly wouldn't disagree that racial tensions have been made worse and that's an extremely unfortunate side effect (one that you wouldn't have if racism wasn't a...

No, Millwall love the police and capitalism has worked wonders for their community, they need to defend these things...

Some people might be able to understand it. Not sure I'd feel the same in that situation 🙂

Even if a you see the gesture as being a Black Power fist, does this concern you more than the reason the Black Power movement existed in the first instance?

Shite that you are made to feel like that. I think there are people in the thread who do give a shit and want to be a part of changing things.

Can't really have a few Millwall racists booing and then stop doing it can we?

It hasn't gone over my head, but I understand what you mean re: how things are perceived.

I kind of understand what you're saying in confusing the message (hey, some people seem easily confused by it!), but I don't think it's really up to us to dictate the behaviour of people this effects.

He's a footballing Michael Doyle. No offence Michael if you're reading this.

Disagree with this to be honest. He wasn't having a bad game, he's just not your usual "creative" player, he's happy to play the hand he's dealt. Today that meant a lot of time out of possession, so he chose his fouls pretty wisely, sweet talked the ref and didn't let his head drop because he...

Wilson - 7 - some good claims. Bit nervy at the beginning and got bailed out of that fumble. We all know if that penalty incident happened at the other end, the ref wouldn't have given it. Dabo - 8 - I don't think he started the game well, but he ended the game brilliantly. Ostigard - 8 -...
