A Black Orient Manager - Proud

Post by Rich Tea Wellin »

Very proud that my club has not let colour reduce opportunity and are leading the way in hiring a black manager. Hopefully we see more clubs follow suit. Well done Nigel and Kent.

Wonder how PutneyO, ‘Ornchurch, Beragdogs and StockholmO feel about this?

You’re racist for even noticing. All those you mentioned don’t see skin colour, some of them even do sex with non-white women so how can they be racialists?

Not only that but a manager who proudly supports BLM.

Wonder what the “all lives matter” bigots on this message board think of that?

To be honest the colour of our manager’s skin is irrelevant to me. If I thought he’d got the job due to any positive or negative discrimination I’d be seriously unimpressed, but am sure he didn’t, he got it on merit and rightly so.

Spot on. Equal opportunities for all, regardless of anything else. Surely no one can disagree with that!!!

Exactly. Who cares. Good he got the opportunity where he would have been limited at other clubs or professions

I'm very proud that Jobi is our manager, Ive met him a few times and he's a great guy. Because I'm not a pathetic snowflake and because I think that Taking The Knee is a gimmick does not mean that I'm a racist. Wumble, you've got one hell of a chip on your shoulder.

Apology accepted, forget it. It's just that I resent someone insinuating that I'm a racist. I'm not. Just a realist

The lady doth protest too much.

You also openly hate a racial equality cause that Jobi supports.

Next time you bump into him why don’t you tell him that you actively oppose an symbolic action he fully endorses and takes part in, and that you think it’s just a gimmick for snowflakes.

Or are you one of those who only does his racism...sorry, “realism” from the safety of your keyboard rather than directly to the face of a proud black man?

His predecessor was indulged for a long time, in spite of his persistent mediocrity. I bet Jobi wouldn’t be. Thankfully, we won’t have to put that to the test, as his results are going to be much better.

Sharper eyed observers may have spotted that some of our Black players have been frozen out recently. I fancy we’ll see them return to the fore for the rest of the season - and what’s more, excel.

Turley back in, given the armband after Clay went off. Widdowson back in. I reckon we’ll see Angol return and offer more than he has. Heck, we might even see Louis Dennis show us what he can do.

I’m pretty sure players being frozen out had much more to do with tactical ineptitude on the part of Jobi predecessor than it did any subconscious (or even conscious) racism.

Not only is that absurd I’m sure it’s slanderous.
