Sounds like you're happy to turn them into a persecuted minority. :)

Serious question: what happens to them once they've been ostracised, lost their jobs and are homeless? Is there a way back for them or do you wish them only hardship, misery and a lonely, painful death?

Once they’ve done their ten years in the labour camps they will have a clean record.

Grass

(That is said in jest btw, Wills) :)


I'm going to get shanked mate... it's on the cards <whistle>

I have grassed someone up before, nowhere near as many as I could and maybe should. This persons comments were absolutely vile, full blown disgusting... and his profession... a teacher, there is no way I'd want that **** teaching my kids, I'd be amazed if he still has his job at the school he was at after I sent screen shots through to them :emoticon-0178-rock:

Sadly a lot of them these days hide behind fake names, but some aren't exactly bright. I think if we are all being honest there is a lot of bigoted **** about these days, whilst it doesn't solve the problem if they are too scared to voice these comments, and spread them among people it can only be a good thing
 
As I've stated previously I think education and opportunities in the poorest areas needs way more support, the poverty trap keeps a lot of people down, yes some break through but it's a massive disadvantage, and this does effect more minorities per capita. There needs to be more focus in breaking through the old boys clubs, this is easily demonstrated within football and the extremely low levels of coaching and managers from BAME.

Schools should be teaching tolerance and acceptance of people, sadly some of the kids are being raised by bigots and bigotry is mostly learned from your family and those close to you, so if they are taught with reasoning this is not rational, it would be a really positive thing

Also sadly this whole affair has demonstrated the vile racists who seem happy to voice their bile, not saying on here but certainly on social media the rise over the last few years, bigotry in general has escalated a lot. These ****s need to be shamed and I've seen a fair few who have been 'outed' and I have no problem with that at all, people have lost jobs been ostracised in communities and if that is what is taken, so be it, freedom of speech does not mean free from responsibility of your words and actions. So... **** them. I doubt it will have people change their views but at least they are too scared of the repercussions to spread it might promote that bigotry isn't acceptable in modern society

Black kids get education like the rest of us. Whether they make the best of it is up to them/ encouragement from their parents.

If black kids come from poor households, are they any different from lots of white kids?

As far as BAME managers are concerned, it isn't that there hasn't been opportunities. It's that they haven't been very successful. Chris Hughton is the only exception I can think of.

Bigots exist sadly. It doesn't help getting rid of them that an above average number of young black lads are involved in crime. The police have confirmed that, and nothing in my own experience would question that. That just feeds prejudice and that's particularly tough on hard working young black kids trying to make it in our society.

It'll help all under privileged kids, win/win

How many black managers have there been in the Prem/football league in comparison to the amount of black/BAME players? The number is massively disproportionate to the number of opportunities if you consider the amount of players. I'm not suggesting that you are putting this across but the lack of success of previous BAME managers is 100% irrelevant to employing a new manager Edit (as in new into management, obviously a managers past job history will come into it)

Akala speak better than I ever could
 
Interesting that the erudite black commentator, Trevor Phillips, said on LBC today that there is no better place for a black person to live in Europe (including Russia) than the UK. BLM might remember that the next time their mob on the fringe go on a destructive rampage

The same Trevor Phillips the Labour Party have suspended. Sadly, because he actually tells it like it is he doesn't fit their narrative...

Not surprised - Blackburn, Burnley and Darwen are some of the slumiest ****holes in the UK that I've visited, a breeding ground for this sort of racial divide that we need to eradicate

Just saw Joe Hart being interviewed he was ****ing pissed at these ****s. They’re already being found out, they’ll be named and shamed, like I said earlier there will be repercussions in their lives and they only have themselves to blame.

On the other hand though Wills, some could say it’s somewhat strange that people like yourself seem more outraged about a banner flown over a football match....than 3 people being murdered sitting in a park minding their own business......

Less of the thoughts and prayers and more ****ing action

Because some ****** chavs from ****ing Burnley shouldn’t be getting away with blatant dog whistling. White lives have always mattered whereas black lives haven’t as much.

I sincerely doubt those responsible give a **** about three gay white blokes being stabbed to death in Reading either.
