Aeroplane Over The Etihad
An aeroplane flew over The Etihad towing a banner stating ‘White Lives Matter Burnley’. Burnley FC have apparently apologised and say that they’ll ban those responsible from Turf Moor if found. A bit of a far right problem in some M62 towns.

Re: Aeroplane Over The Etihad
a place I like to go for amusement is the comments section of the yahoo website.
you wouldn't believe the stuff that gets written in there. whatever the topic someone will manage to have the worst possible take on it on there.
It is gammon central on there, and of course they didn't disappoint on the Burnley story.

Burnley have always had a far right following
In these smaller northern former mill towns like Burnley, Rochdale , Oldham etc the football clubs seem to be breeding grounds for the BNP idiots

There's enough of a far right problem in South Wales.
The other day on social media I came across what can only be described as a retarded moron, who reckoned that all this equality stuff was a far left dream and needed fighting.

I see friends of mine saying racism isn't a problem where we live.
It's yet to dawn on them we live in a white place. If you take out the families that run all the take-aways or the dentist you can count the people with different colour skin on one hand.

Re: Aeroplane Over The Etihad
I wonder if those behind the flying of that plane could come up with one example where white people are discriminated against in favour of BAME people in mainstream UK?

Re: Aeroplane Over The Etihad
Whatever your thoughts on the rights and wrongs of the banner - do you believe that it represents a small minority or a silent majority?
I think there are a lot of people who perceive that “you can’t say or do anything these days for fear of being called a racist”.
And that in itself can lead to a backlash.
The young white male in a lot of these towns are in a minority themselves.

Massive over reaction from you two as usual.
The flying of the banner was moronic, as are the comments on the site posted on here, but its a small minority attracted to that site like moths to a flame.
The majority of folk in the UK realise how daft that banner was.

I think that you have a point about young white men living in what used to be prosperous industrial towns, they have certainly been left behind and forgotten and a lot of evidence points that way, especially with drug addiction and suicide. It's no coincidence that we have a seen a rise in far right politics and a backlash against the EU in these areas, because whether we like it or not,alotof young working class white men have little hope, job opportunity and Educational ambitions. They have been shit on as well and it shouldn't be ignored.
Are they racist? Some are-Would their racist tendencies be as prevalent if there was real job opportunities in their area? Probably not.
Th working class have always been good at sharing and integrating,they've had to, sure there have been problems along the way, but on the whole, as long as their is work and prosperity, Working class people have always been welcoming and accommodating.
The problems kick in when Politicians blatantly don't care about these people, businesses and corporations are allowed to treat these people poorly, education standards drop etc. That's when the Racism and far right politics start creeping in, and they have. Are young white working class males discriminated against? Maybe not for the colour of their skin, but certainly for their class and in some cases within the middle class media, their culture.

Re: Aeroplane Over The Etihad
You only have to watch "The real football factories" with that idiot Billy the limpet to see what Burnley is like.
Once I've watched us there and I didn't last until half time and got back on the train to Blackpool. Shit hole, shit game, shit fans.

Great post. Perhaps the message should be "All Lives Matter". That is inclusive and portrays a message that there is, or should be no, difference between black and white.

Edid Blyton has a lot to answer for.
In Toytown, Noddy and his friends were forever on the receiving end of the naughty golliwogs' tricks.,..
eexcept for the the one who fell in the stream and was rescued by Noddy, he became a friend, but "chalky the golliwog" had lost his black colour in the water!
So he was a good guy now that he wasn't black.

This is exactly what they should have done. It's a lot harder for people to confuse

Someone recently posted a good analogy that the "all lives matter/white lives matter" is like if a house is on fire in a street, stopping the fire brigade from putting it out and instead demanding that they spray all the houses equally.
Yes lives matter, but at the moment saying all lives matter or white lives matter is just serving as taking focus away from the groups that are still in 2020 being marginalized and discriminated against in the worst ways imaginable.

I dont know why young white working class males are being singled out as if they are the issue.

Joking aside. All lives matter would have been a better title, as there are many cultures all over the world that suffer from racism. It needs to be a global message, followed by lots of eduction in schools world wide..

The protest/riots were very much a 'class' thing. Posh privileged middle class white kids from London on one side, poor, ill-educated white males from outside the London bubble. No-one protesting for them though..

Re: Aeroplane Over The Etihad
Have a look at some of the police reaction to the asian grooming gangs in the north...
"The five-year investigation conducted by the IOPC, codenamed Operation Lindon, has produced a highly critical report. It states that the South Yorkshire police were scared to take action against a group of Asian men who were sexually abusing a young girl for fear of triggering unrest in the Asian community and being branded racist. Instead, they did little to disrupt the gang and safeguard the vulnerable victim and other young girls, even though they knew they were being subjected to horrendous sexual abuse."
You can see from the above where some folk might want to make the point that "white lives matter as well"

And people, white or otherwise, have every opportunity and right to get on the street and protest about this.

The young white male in a lot of these towns are in a minority themselves.
87.17% of the UK population is white, i fail to see where any town whites are minority.

Re: Aeroplane Over The Etihad
Imagine being that much of a snow flake that when a Black man in America gets murdered in day light by a cop and because of it the Black lives matter slogan goes global and you are a White person and you get the hump and you have to come with what about us.

And the posh, middle-class London Kids travelled to protest in places like Coventry, Newcastle and Barry. Fair play to them.

People from all races and classes
Those right wing racist thugs were also from all classes except they were all white

Do you have proof of that? Without it, it just sounds the sort of sweeping generalisation that the extremes on either side of the argument feed off.

Even in bradford the asian community is in the minority

Sorry forgot the question mark after Barry.
I was replying to AQM’s post I linked where he stated it was posh London kids doing the protesting. That isn’t my view.

You just have to look at the tv coverage bob , in cardiff and barry you had a wide range of people from all backgrounds out supporting the BLM protest
When the english defence league came to cardiff several years back it was a rainbow of colours and classes out to protest against them
It certainly wasnt white middle class university types , that's utter bollocks

Loads of people have abhorrent racist views in this country
Go on the other site and read what crap get posted on there
By fellow cardiff city fans
It's far from a small minority
You are in denial
