Black Players' Association

I find it pretty absurd that to combat racism you start a group where the founding principle is that only people of certain ethnicity are worthy of joining. Surely people of all sking colours should be united rather than promothing blacks vs. whites attitude like this? Racism isn't just whites abusing blacks as much as some people would like you to believe so, it goes both ways and is just as abhorrent either way. If you're displeased with Kick it Out be my guest to start a new group but why does it have to limited to only blacks? It's not combating racism but promoting it. White players should respond with a group of their own but they won't because that of course would be deemed racist.

Unity and equality, not separatism.

 

They are open to all ethnic minorities, though the name suggests not, granted. Even if it were purely for black players, I don't see how it would promote racism. Surely it would just focus on reducing one type of racism.

The union for black policemen is a similar concept I guess. I don't know how much influence they actually have but they don't seem to unintentionally promote racism.

 

So imagine a white man walks into the office of an anti-racism group. "You can't come here, you're the wrong colour".

Makes sense. I mean discrimination against ethnic majority isn't discrimination right?

Again, what purpose does it serve to deny white people access to this new group?

 

I really don't see what the problem is. If there were demand for it then someone could start a white footballers' union though it would be a fairly redundant organisation as racism against the majority is extremely rare.

There are youth clubs, football teams, unions etc. only for Muslims, Jews etc. and the world hasn't stopped turning as of yet.

 

Excuse me? It's pretty common you know. Not sure what planet you've been living on if you don't think it doesn't happen.

 

I'm not saying it doesn't happen but it is rare. What do you even say to racially abuse a white British man? Honky bastard? Milky ****?

How much anti-white British Christian racism do you hear on a Sunday league football pitch? None in my experience.

 

It would seem that Rio doesn't actually have the courage of his convictions and has backtracked big time on the idea. I wonder if that's because many were starting to suggest he is the actual racist....I do feel sorry for Anton but Rio has manipulated him big time just because no one wanted him as England Captain and now not in the team at all.

Once Fergie gets a few players fit he'll be on the outs there too. You reap what you sow.

 

It being rare is no reason to leave white people out of anti-racism movement. Racial equality means exactly that: everyone being equal, with no conditions or exceptions. This proposal is based on the idea that white people are of lesser value compared to non-whites and don't deserve the same level of protection against racism. What would you call that?

And I can think of at least one case of anti-white racism on a football pitch. Again, it being rarer than racism against blacks is no reason for this kind of anti-white bigotry.

The fact that these blokes are promoting a 20% race quota says it all really. Race quotas are mandatory racism. How about we just admit that they are merely using the fight against racism as a smokescreen to drive their own agenda.
