Sky making a big thing of QPR not taking the knee

[Bluebird23]

If the grounds were at regular capacity’s supporters would start booing, and all this taking the knee would stop.

Reason being the vast majority of supporters already abhor racism, and don’t want this rammed down our throats week in week out, with the BLM fist in the air.

Plus, sport for many of us is about escapism, not political statements.

This will never change racism, it needs to come from the way parents bring up the children of future generations.

The fact some supporters would boo any attempt to highlight and promote anti racism says it all. 🙄

The fact is most people that have a real problem with this are middle aged white men with fragile identity and egos.

The sport isn't where we should raise things like this line is rubbish too. We need to raise it as a discussion point across the whole of society

So why exactly are they doing it?

Because of American career criminals?

Here’s a suggestion as regards the statistical misnomer that the American police are victimising and murdering black people.

* Don’t commit crimes

* If you do commit crimes and the police have to address the issue, don’t resist.

Here’s another statistical fact that doesn’t fit the current narrative. In America a police officer is 18.5 times more likely to lose their lives at the hands of a black person, as a black person is to lose their lives to a Police officer - FACT!

Google and read a few articles in the Wall Street Journal on the subject, in June.

I don't even have the time or effort to respond to that. Just wow.

The taking a knee is to raise awareness of and to fight back against racism. What this situation does nicely is identify closet racists.

Chooses source that backs up his bullshit and thinks he's in the right, brilliant.

Why then is a Police officer more likely to die at the hands of a black person (if what you say is correct) Is it because they're black, that's it, that simple? Maybe you need to educate yourself.

Clearly, you have the IQ of a packet of crisps.

The link is from part of the article from The Wall Street Journal.

Read the full article from the WSJ which is full of facts, and will answer your question.

Try and educate yourself, instead of being one of the sheep believing all American police are racists.

Idiots like you backing BLM, who want to defund the Police.

If you want to educate yourself you need to find impartial sources. Absorbing and regurgitating other people's opinions is not being educated, it being persuaded.

[UNDERHILL1927]

To break it down into the simplest of terms. Taking a knee is a show of solidarity from the football world that racism won't be accepted.

You have an issue with that then you need a long hard look in the mirror why and don't quote some bullshit article from people with agendas. Have a good think and come back to me with your reasons why.

It doesn't matter on this forum what the source is as there will always be somebody who claims it is biased because the author is left wing/right wing/communist/racist etc. When you think about, who would you (you plural) trust to give an impartial report on anything!

When you say FACT!!! presumably what you mean is nothing of the sort!

https://www.bloombergquint.com/gadfl...is-police-work

In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer. Like a lot of people I have become more familiar with police-violence statistics in recent weeks than I ever really wanted to be, so I knew it was extremely unlikely that 18.5 times more police officers were killed by Black men than unarmed Black men were killed by police. In recent years about 50 U.S. law enforcement officers have been “feloniously killed” annually, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, while police and sheriff’s deputies have killed about 1,000 people a year, according to various sources.

Black people get killed by the police during routine traffic stops. Or just living in their apartments. Walking down the stairs. Or hanging out in the park. How is anyone supposed to "don't do that"? You know what black people don't do in this country? Call the cops when they're in peril. Because they know it could be them that gets hurt or worse.
