I can't imagine that he would have any problems whatsoever. I would be gutted if anyone felt unsafe at the stadium let alone one of our own fans
I've been going for over 50 years and never seen any bother of a racial nature ... ... anyone, from either group of supporters, would be rounded on imo. I once had a problem with a bunch of QPR, near the Halfway House, and sadly had to break one lads nose to stop things escalating ... ... I was immediately surrounded by a 'kangaroo court' of ordinary Sunderland supporters. Thankfully when I explained the situation they said 'F*ck him, he deserved it.' If I'd been out of order I'm sure they'd have held onto me and fetched the polis. The same would happen with your son either inside or outside the stadium.
I was wondering about this on Sunday, whether it would impact our support from various heritages. Made me think of the Punjab Army, are those lads still around?
Not violence but I heard plenty of offensive language, including some directed at our own players. One bloke in the fullwell regularly used derogatory language about Benno. Was clearly ignorant because he also thought he was rubbish.
No doubt mate, I've heard all kinds at Roker Park but nothing recently. Anyone was a target from shorter players, ginger players or anything in between including coloured ... or whatever the currently acceptable term might be. I'd be shocked to hear anything racist now at the SOL, away games not quite so much.
Thanks All - I’ve shared your replies with him and he’s convinced… At least I now have my match day mate back with me HTL
Not that it’ll happen, especially to someone like Farage but I would give my left bollock to see Susanna Reid grovel on national TV. Can’t stand the woman her interviewing tactics are shameful whether it’s labour/tory whoever. Just asks questions then speaks over the top of whomever is trying to answer whilst offering absolutely nothing sensible to the conversation.
Changes **** all. Keep gobs shut until you know the evidence. Any MP prejudicing investigations should be sacked in my view. Anyone justifying attacks on people not involved because they’re from a specific group, be it gender, race, religion are in the same ball park as the offender.
Spot on. Looked earlier and people were saying that the murder of children justified the riots! Ridiculous statement
Stinks mate. Should attack all white people cos of Jimmy Saville and George Fisher. That’s literally how stupid it is,
Due to the mass levels of illegal migration allowed to flood and settle into our country, there was always going to come a time when tensions arose, and imo it will only get worse. This isn’t a white v black thing. An eruption could come from any group of people at any moment. Currently the mess in the Middle East is causing the Jews and Muslims to divide. Next, problems in Africa could cause gangs in London to attack each other. Multiculturalism has failed, and now we are left with a country that is more divided than ever.
It doesn’t feel like that’s the biggest problem to me. So what I ask is the difference between me and you. Why do different cultures feel like the biggest issue to you I wonder. Could it be about you not them?
Don’t know where to start with this one, in my opinion as I have said on here before is people's colour, religion, sexual orientation or whatever else does not matter to me. The failures today lie with society and the fact we have ignorant lazy self entitled bigots having children and passing on that bigotry. The internet fuels this bigotry with falsehoods and more people lap it up. I personally know somebody who has 6 kids and she and her husband have never worked a day in their lives. He has been jailed twice in the last 20 years for violence and theft. He is convinced he can not get work because of immigrants and will spout it off to anybody who will listen. The same man will also tell you that it is not worth coming of benefits as it would cost him too much to live and he would not be able to afford his cans and his weed. Basically ensuring that our children are brought up correctly with the right morals and at the very least the right kind of social values. Make sure they are properly educated and somehow try and get rid of this self righteous indignation that a lot of people have today. I was brought up in a mining village and we did not have a lot, but my dad who looking back was pretty racist himself always said judge a man on the man not on what other people tell you. Basically saying you make your mind up don’t let others make it up for you. I don’t think multiculturalism has failed I think society and humanity may have
Is it cultures though? Sikhs have lived peacefully in this country for a long time and live a relatively peaceful life. As have Jews. Why do you never hear about them causing bother? When are they ever demanding we bend our beliefs to accommodate them? When do ever see a “terror” related attack in this country commit by a Sikh or a Jew? Why is it always the same “culture” that fall out with the natives of wherever they find themselves? There’s a reason none of Gaza’s neighbours want them. They’ve been at war with each other for thousands of years never mind the differences they have with other religions. And the whole rhetoric around “well a white person stabbed someone so you’re just being racist for not mentioning that” is mental gymnastics at its finest. Of course you’re going to have “white crime” in a predominantly white country..
Certainly not me that’s the issue. I don’t hold a grudge against anyone of different colour. I treat everyone the same regardless. The issue I have is the allowance of unlimited, unvetted illegal immigration. I do not like paying tax to support people who come here and do not work, or come here and blend into society. For example I wouldn’t dream of migrating to another country and then march on the streets of that country complaining about issues that affect me 1000s of miles away. migration imo is fine, but it has to be done correctly. And it hasn’t been done correctly in the Uk.
I wouldn't say that mate ... ... we're top of the league and the foreign lads seem to be settling in quite well
Yes mate I agree. The foreign lads have come here to work and are doing well. Just like when you worked abroad, you didn’t expect France to house you, pay for you. You worked hard, paid your taxes, paid your bills and expected nothing in return. A prime example of good migration.
Just want to check. You do understand we stop asylum seekers from working? So they don’t ’take all our jobs’. You think they should be allowed to get one I presume ? And if they did it would be ok?
