Re: no taking the knee today
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.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 6:34 pm Well thats silly as it'll only stop through education.

well played BonesBoniO wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 10:26 amAh, 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.Dohnut wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 9:23 amWithin 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.

Re: no taking the knee today
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.

Re: no taking the knee today
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.

Re: no taking the knee today
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).

Re: no taking the knee today
Our young friend BiggsyMalone should be made aware that Irish, Scottish, Greeks, Turks, Jews and Red Indians can also be discriminated against.

Islam isnt RACE .
bigotry
obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction; in particular, prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.
"the difficulties of combating prejudice and bigotry"
racism
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
"a programme to combat racism .
Very nearly the same thing but not quite .

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
