Agreed - which starts with the young. Whereas the ignorant dyed in the wool bigots aren't likely to be swayed by any arguments are they. But making their views and utterances unacceptable, by any means possible, can only be a good thing.

i clearly showed you someone had broken your mb rules .
Still
not a worry . i only really do it to give you something to do for 5 minutes .
You are misinterpreting the rules. This is why I'm judge and jury on here.
Sounds like a dictatorship
Especially as The point i was making was indeed correct & not intepreted rules wrongly .

Pol Pot
Josef Stalin
John wayne Gacy
Theodore Bundy

Are they allowed in Your Team Croissant ?
Within the laws of the land and the rules of the game.

I believe in individual freedom within that framework. The LV video on the Orient website covers the knee issue. Discussion and decision following his abuse. They will discuss again before the Walsall game and may go back to taking the knee.

Totally correct way of dealing with it. Deciding what they wish to do as a group and according to their views. Freedom in action.
Ah, so now you agree with my earlier post that they were making a point by not taking the knee and will probably revert to taking it vs Walsall. Thanks for confirming that you haven't got a clue what you're waffling on about.

"If only they would have taken the knee in Germany in the 1930s there wouldn't have had the Holocaust"

Who agrees with this statement ?

The club should organise an education evening involving black players, staff and anti-racist charities and campaigners can educate to all you willfully ignorant people. We’ll see how much educating you actually want then.

Are you suggesting racism is only an issue for people who are identified as black?

Seven pages and counting, and still some people are claiming the knee has achieved nothing.

Symbolism is important - that's why some people get so wound up by the knee.

They’re not wound up and they’re not racist but they just think it’s ineffective and a waste of time. (The three seconds it takes out of their Saturday afternoon).

Our young friend BiggsyMalone should be made aware that Irish, Scottish, Greeks, Turks, Jews and Red Indians can also be discriminated against.

It has achieved absolute zero apart from giving the bully boys on the looney left an excuse to press forward with their cancel culture whereby they jump up and down demanding we think their way or not at all
