You don't have to be a racist to object to taking the knee but all of the racists object to taking the knee.

BLM isnt Marxist.....only a right wing extremist would utter such drivel.
You think black skinned people should just take the sh*t they get and shut up?
You only have to read the BLM website to know that they are Marxist.

How do you eradicate racism without educating people/changing minds/rehabilitation?

Well I’ve just watched that video and my blood pressure must be at boiling point. What the actual xxxx is going on there. The guy was beaten to a pulp he couldn’t even stand up properly when they got him to his feet. Don’t matter what he did, the cops should not be behaving like that, arrest the person, but beat him to a pulp something is very wrong over there.

You wouldn’t know a Marxist if they rocked up at the supporters club and bought you a pint. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Ok but that contradicts the lefts usual view that people should be rehabilitated not punished.

Whatever they do they need to sort it out beforehand.
When the ref started the West Ham game yesterday the West Ham players took the knee while the Newcastle players got on with the game. The ref blew again, the Newcastle players took the knee and the third whistle started the game.

Rehabilitation or re-learning is for people who are under pressure of life
Being a bigot isnt being under pressure of life .that is choice .

Thor is not a leftie & was rightfully outraged by the clip of a kid being laid on by 2 cops
1 who procededd to pummel his face with his fist & force his head into the ground .

1.may not have been a bigot but 1 punching clearly was .

It isnt to do with left or right .
Being a BIGOT IS about being a BIGOT

I really don't think these out of context videos serve any value. Unless you see what has happened prior to the police feeling the need to pin the guy down to restrain him you can't fully conclude the actions of the police are right or wrong. Obviously the incident is going to be under review, I imagine all violent incidents get reviewed.

As I’ve said in other threads I don’t like sport and politics mixing, so from a footballing authorities' perspective it's a slippery slope to take any step down that road. They are selective as to what they choose to sanction, why support BLM and not those impacted by human rights abuses in China and elsewhere? It's easy to infer that those people are seen as mattering less.

It’s a free country so if someone wants to ‘take the knee’ in their own time it’s not for me to tell them not to, as long as it is similarly fine if others choose to ignore it, and without undue pressure being applied to follow the trend.
