I didn’t ask to be tagged into this discussion but find it laughable that Skiddy of all people is playing the victim of racism.
I think you're noticing it more because you've been 'told' to notice it more. You may see something innocuous 10 times a day and never notice it until someone points it out, then you'll notice it everytime.
I do get what you are saying, from personal experience I've certainly noticed a few nasty ignorant comments which I didn't back then. I've always been one of those liberal lefties that people hate so racism has always been something I've noticed and spoken out against.
Yeah, you wouldn’t normally notice someone making monkey noises That might be true at West Ham, come to think of it.
I've dealt with racist people in real life mate, so I'm very intolerant to it. I also see people shy away from tackling it, and they look uncomfortable when I get vocal about dealing with it. We can't cure it, but we can shut the fookers up and that's all that needs to happen on the terraces, telling them to shut up or **** off back to their hole.
Your club’s not racist mate. Some of your supporters probably are though. You might not have noticed.
I was once offered a British movement paper(canny mind what it was called) as I made my way into Ibrox stadium to watch the famous Glasgow Rangers. Probably because I had a short hair cut and I was wearing Doc Martin's. When I asked the guy peddling the ****e if he was giving me it because they had ran out of toilet paper in the stadium the chap wasn't best pleased. Took umbrage you might say. Anyhoo a discussion ensued where the nazi fellow was told, in no uncertain terms that if he didn't take his paper and his racist face out of my way I would rip his fùcking head off. Up trots Glasgow's finest to see what the fuss was about and threatened to arrest me. Seemingly there was nothing illegal about handing out right wing fascist propaganda on the streets of blighty circa 1990s. I dare say not much has changed since.
