That point there is the crux of it .Why should i be ashamed for something that happened before i was born and had no control over or agreed with,yet im not allowed to talk about taboo subjects like the atrocities carried out by the Ottoman Empire, Why do i always have to keep quiet, when do i get the chance to be offended.

You can talk about whatever the **** you want Roger. You're not head of the FA.

No one is telling you to be quiet. If you want to talk about Ottomans or any kind of bench/end of bed storage, you can crack on. No one is going to give a ****.

The head of the FA is a very different matter. They should practice all things inclusivity and they should represent the best interests of everyone coming into the game.

Then why are white people constantly labeled racist, if their views don't match that of the people name calling, insult a white person then its oh get on with it, your privileged ect, but when it comes to the name callers every excuse under the sun is brought out to justify their allowed prejudice.

exactly then why make white players bend to the will of what other groups dictate.peer pressure is always used to force an agenda
kept away from this thread because of people with your point of view , but then thought it's always the same some people have to be morally offended, im allowed to respond it's an open forum if you don't like what i write put me on ignore, but i will not bow to your demands
 
Whilst i understand how some people may be offended at being called coloured, black, brown yellow or red. Do those of us who are caucasians have the right to be offended for being called white? How the **** are we meant to describe people?

Question for @Evil Jimmy Krankie , how hard would it make your job if a withess described a suspect as "a person of indertiminable hue or gender. They may have been vertically challenged but then again they may not have been as we have no definitive rulings on what constitutes vertically challenged. Unfortunately i am unable to describe their hair colour as that may be considered offensive, particularly if the individual of unkown gender, skin hue or height was folically lacking.

Myself for example i would refer to as off white with bronze tinges during the summer months.

I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about?

Who is making white players bend to the will of others?

Is this not a thread about the Chair of the FA resigning because he offended several minority groups?

I'm not morally offended. I never said I was. Where did you get that from?

What demands did I make of you? Did I not literally just say you could talk about whatever you wanted and no one would try to stop you?

Crack on with whatever you want. Just leave me out of it. I don't understand a word that comes out of you.

You are describing me here.

I was brought up to use the word 'coloured' as calling anybody 'black' was considered to be offensive and insulting.
To make matters worse I'm anti Political Correctness in principal.

As it happens I've also always been a suporter of what the Americans call Civil Rights.
Had I been American, (shudder)' I'd have been there witth Martin Luther King , singing We shall Overcome, with the best of them.
I hate racism in any form and I very much include Religous Intollerence with this.
Yet if I make a slip of the tongue, and use terms I was brought up to consider propper, I get classed as racist.
Were I american I would be a member of their oldest and most respected Civil Rights organisation that has been in existance for over 100 years.
It's called The NAACP or National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

One of my earliest memories and certainly one that made a massive impression on me was sitting on my Dad’s knee, in tears, watching a news report of the Sharpeville Massacre.

That experience stirred my interest in the Civil Rights Movement in the US, hence my love of American Folk music.

Any form of racism is abhorrent but Apartheid and the Jim Crow Laws were a terrible indictment on successive UK Government’s who either supported them or turned a blind eye to them.

I understand what you’re saying and up to a point I agree with you. I’ve been in the job long enough to see the wheel go full circle more than once.
In answer to your question; if it’s a witness describing someone to me I use their words. The odd thing is if they’re describing a black person it’s invariably “they were African” which is fairly crap so I have to ask more questions to ascertain skin colour. If it’s another cop then there are guidelines as to how that description should be written. For example we shouldn’t use terms like Aboriginal or Caucasian that is too vague and too rigid.
Still, doesn’t bother me, I still get paid and anyway I don’t really take statements anymore.

your correct there mate, you put a post up knowing it to be a controversial topic, so expected differing views,these days most easy going people shy away from topics like these for rear of being called racist being bullied oh and trying to public shame you to bow to their views, yet this is the exact thing, free speech my father and our family fought for, and i will not give it up lightly, The people with loud mouths are the same ones who refuse to condemn the atrocities and hate speech from others, and you think it sounds bitter, i think it sounds reasonable.

The ‘bitter’ remark was meant to be in jest. But we’ve both got thick skins!

One of my early experiences of race hate was the news of all the Australian prisoners of war, captured by the Turks during the conflict in the Dardanelles, being butchered without mercy and thrown into mass graves, However when the Christian Serbs butchered innocents in Shrebrenichia we as Europeans all appalled and were happy to see air strikers against them atrocities like these should never be allowed again
