Why we kneel

[Admin]

No bullying, just healthy debate.

He said he knew some black athletes being hounded by the police. Upon further questioning this turns out to be someones aunt living abroad and no mention of the police.

Oops my mistake. Best ignore the literally dozens of other similar situations where you debated with the same person so skilfully.

The moderator Bullying Max
Come on Max we've both had worse wind
from a curry, but i get your point .

If only Admin cared .

If only Admin had the time. Right now I'm busy dealing with 2 family member's illnesses. Which, along with trying to keep a business afloat means that this place falls well down my list of priorities.

Whilst I get that PW is a marmite figure for some, without his time and input this year, this place would've ceased to be. For his help and knowledge, I am honestly grateful.

Let it all burn, I say.

this message board, or Leyton Orient Football Club?

Typical BLM Marxist attitude, I have to say... coming over here, rioting, looting our suburbs, taking a knee before our football matches. How dare you make me confront my own racism!

(is that how it's supposed to work?)

‘

Because my Friend circle is wide .
I speak to them & therefore i know .
Most police are in cars these days &
Pull up british athletes who have
Represented there country .

This is what i said mod

[tuffers#1]

Which athletes are you friends with Tuff?

Then you asked this

[tuffers#1]

Which athletes are you friends with Tuff?

I went to school with
Lutalo Muhammads Aunt

Been friends with her for years .
His grandma passed away a couple of days ago
I spoke to his aunt about her Mums paasing.
As she chatted a lot with me when my mum
Passed away .

Where's the lie?

But Oiram asked how you knew "For most black people it is a weekly occurrence’

And you said "Because my Friend circle is wide .
I speak to them & therefore i know .
Most police are in cars these days &
Pull up british athletes who have
Represented there country"

Was i talking about Latalo ?

You didnt ask me that .

You asked me
" what athletes i was friends with " & i told you .

Nowhere did i say Latalo had any involvement with the police ..

You just made up some bullsh*t nonsenseof
Your own , like you have done before .
That mod is your LIE .
HIDING behind the moderator status .

[Long slender neck]

Why bring athletes into it then?

[tuffers#1]

[Long slender neck]

I'm sorry I thought you were saying you knew athletes who were being racially harassed by the police weekly. It turns out you dont.

[tuffers#1]

I'm sorry I thought you were saying you knew athletes who were being racially harassed by the police weekly. It turns out you dont.

No I said i knew black people who deal with it every week
I then said about police being in cars because oiram said
He Didnt see many bobbys on the beat these days .
I happened to mention the cars & them pulling up british athletes .

You made the leap that it was about any athletes i may know .

As it happens i met Latolo when he did the medal thing in the High street .
Told him i knew his aunt & then bumped into him last year we had a little 5 minute chat .

What ever you misread & then assumed created the LIE .

I'll leave it there though .

I suggest you do as well & we can move onto other things.

Outstanding.

You can have too much of anything and "Taking The Knee" is no exception.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Good point. 3 seconds is just too much.

Watch it Ronnie, you'll get yourself banned !

[PutneyO]

I'm very sorry that George Floyd got murdered by a racist policeman and I will always stand for a minute in silence for the poor man, but this taking the knee business is really irritating me

Hmm - not sure if fishing, but....

You standing up for a minute is fine, but other people dropping to a knee for a second or two really irritates you? Sounds like a "you-problem" to me.

We're all quite capable of showing respect without having to get down on our knees
