I beg to differ , everybody I encounter knows about taking the knee , mostvagree , some dont and some get foam mouthed
Plenty of people disagreeing with the knee are nailed on racists , they know it , they hate being called racists but only because they know that we know what they think
Feck em
It’s working because this peaceful protest is keeping the scourge of racism in the spotlight, it certainly hasn’t been eroded, if anything these last few days it’s gained considerable strength. The booers are using it as cover to display their true feelings I believe, we're wise to it, it’s they who need to be eroded.
Because most of them are thicker than pigshit, to be honest with you. Great as footballers, but not the brightest as people. Yeah, I know I am generalisng here, but a lot of them aren't that bright. Also I am pretty sure not many of them would be politically motivated enough to read and understand that BLM are essentially a Marxist organisation. They are just running with the pack
Absolutely not. I read a lot and watch a lot of different videos on YouTube from extreme right wing and also left wing (and not from some chavvie keyboard warrior stuck in his mums house hiding behind a laptop), and then form my own options. No one is more left wing than I am, but as for Marxism, Uggg, it is a form of oppression. Oh, and before you accuse me of being fascist, my best mate for over 40 years is black, and whose parents came over on the Windrush. He knows exactly how I feel about an out an out Marxist organisation and footballers taking the knee and basically bowing down to it.
Have you read about Colin Kaepernick?
This neo Marxist nonsense just makes racists feel a bit better.
As with most things, people will put their own spin on it to help it fit their pov/agenda.
It doesn't suit some people that people agree with the movement so they just go straight out and attack it, put a bad spin on it etc. Newspapers/social media etc are flooded with one side of the argument until enough people who don't think for themselves just nod and agree.
I've no idea if any of that makes sense, usually doesn't when I come on here drunk, I babble when I'm sober so this is probably just a pile of nonsense I'll read back and wonder why I typed..
People like me ?
Are you following up on Dorcas’ remark?
You’re not a racist , a bad person or unintelligent by any stretch Dorcas. You’d be pressed to offend me since your views would be honest and rational, but you see what you bring out of the woodwork when you mention stuff like that ?
What a self pitying response to what I said. Do you really think I was referring to your religion? "People like you" can still be used without having the connotations you want to put on it you know and I used it in this case because it fitted with what I wanted to say. I said it because if I'd been asked to predict five people on here who would play the BLM = Marxist card to try to justify their views. I would have been wrong in some cases, but not with you. You would have been in my five all day long.
So, having got your mud slinging attempt to move things off topic out of the way, I ask again, what is the "hidden agenda" you talk about? It cannot be Marxism, given that I never stop reading about that when BLM is discussed among some right wingers - although I note Steve Baker, of all people, can see problems for his party regarding responses to taking the knee;-

Finally, those of you telling the England players they're wrong have not responded to the James O'Brien video posted on here yesterday yet - here it is again just in case you missed it first time.

An interesting take on it from a Tory MP:
https://www.politicshome.com/thehous...aking-the-knee
It's a bit of a challenge to believe those booing Taking The Knee are expressing their principled misgivings with Marxism given every single foreign anthem was also booed by some England fans, regardless of the social, economic or political philosophy associated with each nation.
Of course, you came to your own opinion after watching extreme right wing YouTube videos. It just so happened to be the same opinion. OK
I guess either hundreds of footballers have been simultaneously hoodwinked by the Marxists because "they're not very bright" or there is a problem with the way black players are treated and they're using a simple gesture to draw attention to it.
We may never know the truth...
