FAO Racists

[BoniO]

They are going to ask the fans to take the knee as well, anyone standing up or sitting down gets a ban.

I heard that you have to put your legs behind your head whilst whistling the National Anthem. PC gone mad!!

That split in approve and disapprove looks just about the same as the split in remain vs leave right before the referendum. Shocked I tell ya...shocked...Who would have thought it! But but but..it’s not political.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Being scared of people who aren't like you isn't necessarily political...

[Beradogs]

Working class disapprove. London heavily approve. Go further north they disapprove. It’s just the culture wars playing out again. Like I said at the start.

He admitted as much in an earlier post where he put it down to DNA and some simplistic notion of fight or flight and the concept of the "outsider"

He's had a nightmare two days trying to construct imbecilicly thin arguments to wind up a subject that decent people feel strongly about.

So one is a WUM . if one has another opinion?.

It’s the way of the world. Well some worlds anyway. Some people do all they can to stifle debate.

Generalised nonsense.

There is no such thing as a culture war. There is only the class war. The so called culture war is a distraction from it stirred up by the right wing because they have no possibility of winning the economic argument.

Shut up.

From the horse's mouth ( LOFC twitter account)

"This is not an endorsement of any political party or views.

This is a show of unity against racial discrimination of all kinds.

This is why we kneel."

So, not political.

[Beradogs]

Then why do something that 48% of working class people don’t agree with. They can’t be that stupid can they. Unless you are picking people up and taking them with you it’s pointless and nothing but virtue signalling. The whole idea is too effect change. The only people who agree with it are the ones you are not trying to change. How ridiculous is that. I give up.

[Long slender neck]

That may well be their reason, but the fact is taking the knee is strongly associated with BLM.

[Disoriented]

If someone boos because they don’t want politics involved in sport that is not the actions of a bigot.

I personally wouldn’t boo, but thank goodness we live in a country where we have freedom of speech (within the law), and I would always defend that right.

It’s a slippery slope otherwise, what next, not wear a ‘taking the knee’ badge maybe upon entering the stadium becomes the actions of a bigot? Not joining a march perhaps?

One either believes in free speech (within the law) or one doesn’t, and that has to work regardless of whether one agrees with what is being said or not.

Debates surrounding racism are now all but impossible. Rather than reducing racism it just pushes it underground. This is not healthy.

This is just b/s. I can't recall a time in my life when racists were more embolded to spew their filth.

Good thing you weren’t around in the 1930s then, or was that the wrong kind of racist filth?

Martin Luther King would have died with happiness if only 48% of people didn’t agree with him. Should he have packed it in with his virtue signalling too?

You can whistle through your jacksy no doubt.

[Beradogs]

Comparing Juddy with Martin Luther King now. I had a dream that one day I would get into faces half price.

[Story of O]

There was booing at Colchester on Saturday when the players took the knee.

There was booing at Colchester on Saturday when the players took the knee.

Their chairman has issued a statement saying it won’t be tolerated again.

[PutneyO]

Just out of interest, does the taking of the knee also include the fact that a fascist regime murdered eight million Jews ???

Rubbish poll, doesn’t show ethnicity of thoseinvolved. This is the white, woke, snowflake, Remoaners, stirring it all up.

Look at old Prince Harry in the States on his zoom Lord Haw Haw Broadcasts. He has erased and forgotten his Nazi Uniform ‘prank’ and ‘Rag Head Jibes’ at his so called Brothers In Arms ‘mates’.

Make some ‘Leyton Orient Against Racism ‘ Badges. Sell them for a good cause. I’ll buy and wear one!

Please try harder not to be an utter helmet.
