I am a white man, I have never been racially abused or passed over for a job because of the colour of my skin. Black people have. All of my black friends have been racially abused in this country. I know that many black men and women are passed over for jobs, that is why there is a disproportionate number of black people in senior positions all over the country. Most people are decent however there is a sizeable minority that are not.

Let’s be honest, if you look to the Guardian for solace, it’s already too late.
The analysis is by the revolution foundation, not the Guardian. You can use that as your excuse to deny the truth and keep spinning your bigoted narrative though, if you want?

Absolutely correct. I've tried to stop posting on here in the last few days as I am so disappointed not only about some of the racist views being expressed but also the lack of education and ability to see it from the other side.
The OP has only re-emphasised that by stating that City fans have been "tolerant" towards some of our black players.
TOLERANT !! - what the hell have those people done to be merely tolerated !!?? It's that sort of supremacist attitude that got us in the mess that our society is now in, who the hell do you think you are to deign to tolerate a valuable part of our societyI'm just waiting for the first "I'm not a racist but ......................" post

If our players want to protest let them protest. I would say the same if a white player didn't take part in the show of solidarity, it would their decision. Funnily enough, not one has, which hopefully indicates that the views on this board are not, in the main, shared by the majority our society.

What do you mean by "all lives can't matter until black lives do?"
Anyone who deliberately kills a black person will receive a life sentence as would a black man who deliberately kill a white person. That sounds to me that ALL lives matter and law doesn't discriminate on the grounds of colour.

No these are millionaires most of them that have made money from the club the fans and sponsors. They have nothing in common now with those living in poverty and the ghettos. They have privileges we could only dream of.
Security for there kids and Grandkids. Now the slavery thing yes we have had a tainted past but the whole of humanity has had a tainted past no matter what colour they are.
They are there using their mobiles and technology that these tech firms use slavery in Africa and South America. Where do they get the materials for the batteries that run them ? Not Tesco that’s for sure.
They are mined using child slaves that will have vastly shortened lives but these BLM only are interested in the slave trade hundreds of years ago.
In Africa now the slave trade is huge but they are slaved by other Black tribes or criminals. Where is the fight against them ? Or that fight isn’t the in thing because they are not white oppressors.
You have other Black sportsmen like Hamilton who wears his Hugo Boss where that company made the uniforms for the Nazis. His company of which makes him him tens of millions used to make car parts from slave Labour. Does his morals say he dumps his gravy train ? No
Then you have Anthony Joshua who told a rally that they should only buy from black businesses despite most of his training camp being white, his promoters are white and the vast majority of his fan base is white. And where was his morals when fighting in Saudi Arabia ? Millions of pounds Make morals disappear.
Now our pampered stars that put aside there morals for the pound sign I would say if you think you are repressed then look up a sportsman called Jack Johnson he was a remarkable sportsman but he suffered horrific racist abuse. Most of you youngsters would of never heard of him so do your research on him.
One of BLM main financial backers is George Soros a Nazi collaborator who turned in fellow Jews and pillaged their property as a reward and he even admits to this. Where is there outrage.
Now one thing everyone needs to realise this whole episode has been orchestrated to have everyone fighting and now shit is getting real and these footballers need to realise they are putting petrol on the bonfire.
As Cardiff fans they are very tolerant we have worshipped black players like Robert Earnshaw, Nathan Blake, Danny Gabbidon, the Bennett Brothers to now Sol Bamba and who can ever forget the legend I saw Eddie score despite being shit gave us one of the most memorable goals at Ninian Park.
Black lives matter will breed white lives matter and there the hate and divide begins. What the establishment don’t want to here from blacks and whites is All Lives Matter. Why can’t we all agree on this ?

Totally agree. There are many contexts of the word 'tolerant'. Piledriver is simply using hysteria because he has nothing else to add to the debate.

I'd argue that you can say exactly the same thing about a black family just as long as you leave 'black' out of the sentence. Because if the whole point is about laziness you wouldn't need to say black so why would you?. Who the f**k says lazy white anyway? I've never heard it.
