I am of mixed race. My mum is Black and my Dad is white. Ive only ever had to broach this subject once on here before. I grew up in Ely, and have lived in Canton most of my adult life.
I have never experienced the racism you preach about in Cardiff,and i’m 57.
I am an honest, hard working Welsh man, and i’m proud of who i am and I'm proud of my heritage.
In the 70’s, i walked down to the City, and back up to Ely, with a mix of folk that could have been described as the league of nations.
Racism was the last thing on our minds.
I have grown up seeing things from both sides.
You appear to be ready to be offended by the slightest incident that could be described as border line racism.
I posted a video on here a few days ago, showing hard working met police officers getting pushed back and all kind of missiles being thrown at them.
No sympathy from you, or from any of the so called
Intelligent posters on here. Just all hell bent on making me look a fool, and comments like “I've seen worse away at Stoke’!!! As if that justifies it in any way.
The 2 athletes in this thread, would have been better off, stopping when they were asked to, and stepping out of the vehicle, and answering the questions calmly. As calmly as they spoke in the interview after the incident.
As i said above, some black folk play the race card when it suits them, but not all.
If the met police decided to go on strike, then i shudder to think what the outcome would be.
Its a thankless job, and i really do appreciate young folk of all colours and religions, that volunteer to take on the task.
Well said. Sadly Sludge is a lost cause. It's his way or no way. If you dared to vote Tory in the last election you are labelled Tory scum. If you attempt to introduce balance to this latest discussion you are a racist. He will attempt to take selective sentences from your posts, miss out words and then tell you what you meant. If you suggest that we should wait for evidence to emerge you are castigated. How anyone can be one so one dimensional is beyond belief. I doubt very much if anyone on here has expressed racist views but Sludge has it locked into his mind that anyone who disagrees with him, or suggests it is too early to reach conclusions, is prejudiced. I have given up arguing with him; it's simply not worth the bother.
