Off Topic Black Lives Matter

no doubt done by a right winger for obvious reasons

 

Whitehall is ****ed mind.

 

Who have

We'll be fine as long as long as the black stripes are wider than the white, and there's more of them.

 

What you've just written is history. It's a part of everything and the important things should never be erased but studied and learnt from - otherwise we'll repeat mistakes ad infinitum. We need to understand the history of everything and not just what suits us or what's fashionable.

 

I disagree. We Newcastle fans are in general a tolerant bunch in the 21st century, the stripes of black and white shall remain in equal widths.

 

Sarcasm, not one of your strongest points then....

 

Comedy, not one of yours then?...

 

I see that UKTV have now reversed their decision about Fawlty Towers. Common sense 1 PC Snowflakes 0.

 

Newspaper headlines tomorrow.
Common sense gains a rare victory over the PC Brigade

 

Not normally.

 

2 World Wars, 1 World Cup, Albert Luque wrapped it up

 

“Black Lives Matter, why do you treat us all this way?”

Couple of hours, fights with police and countless examples of vandalism, thuggery and looting later.

“We just want to be given respec’, innit”.

It’s all a bit of a joke. You could erase history, remove all statues, abolish the colour ‘white’, anoint Shaniq’ua from Brixton as queen of Britain, and that entitled subset of the black community would still complain that they don’t want nobody’s pity. Always another problem. How can it be solved, when those seeking “justice“ can’t even say exactly what they’re (literally) fighting for?

 

Call me old fashioned but I always thought in any walk of life that respect is earned - not just dished out

 

Sorry but this is ****ing overkill:

Yes its a good cause and blah blah blah, but replacing the names with that is surely taking it too far?

 

I can help. It definitely, definitely is.

 

Misinformed, usually respect is generally bought with cash or violence.

 

Black Lives Matter will be on 10 disciplinary points and a suspension pretty soon anyway.

 

I'm not going to get all snowflake over it, but given the number of black players, I can understand the intent.

That said, it should be down to individuals freedom of choice, and not imposed on players.
For me players names should remain on the shirts.

 

I understand the intent but there's intent and taking things to ridiculous extremes.

No doubt they'll want the balls painted black next.

 

I'm all for peaceful protests...BUT...then these "protestors" riot and destroy "their own" **** - it's ludicrous...

I mean they are aware of the Barbary slave trade right? They are not the only ones who are "oppressed" - I mean it is literally ONLY first world citizens arguing this - none of whom have probably done **** all for anyone else anywhere in the world. Where was the outcry on Muslims being held in camps in China, womens rights in Africa and the middle east or the dictatorial leaders in these areas, human rights abuse etc. Next shall we'll be taking down the Pyramids or the Great Wall of China?
