Nathan Blake subject of alleged racist abuse as youth player at Chelsea

[elytillidie]

Hardly surprising, and sadly all too common in the past. Largely a thing of the past, but you're bound to still get the odd moron.

Robert Nesta Marley got it right...
WAR
Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned -
Everywhere is war -
Me say war.

That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes -
Me say war.

That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race -
This a war.

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained -
Now everywhere is war - war.

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola,
In Mozambique,
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled,
Utterly destroyed -
Well, everywhere is war -
Me say war.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south -
War - war -
Rumours of war.
And until that day,
The African continent
Will not know peace,
We Africans will fight - we find it necessary -
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory

Of good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!

He says there was racism, doesn't say exactly what it was, and then uses terms like woolly back Wales.

It's Chelsea, what do you expect?

He says there was racism, doesn't say exactly what it was, and then uses terms like woolly back Wales.

He obviously meant it in jest like what we do when we sing “we know what we are” or “1-0 to the....”
I’m glad he just didn’t sit and take the racism.
Us Kairdiffians take no shit see.

Love Blakey. Scored my favourite ever Cardiff goal. I know he has his critics as a pundit, but I really enjoy him speaking on the radio. Though his task on the radio is largely unenviable as he spends most of his time batting away stupid comments from pedant phone callers.

Some people will object to the use of the term woolly back Wales, which was kind of my point.

In other words, what some people deem racist, others won't

So he left Chelsea because he was turning up late. Nothing to do with him being a tea leaf?
