I've no problem showing their beautiful black faces. But I was sent it via WhatsApp direct from him, direct to me. If I copy and paste it then both his and my identities are then made public on here, it's this that I wish to avoid.

It’s fine man. I’ve mentioned my background and where I grew up on here previously and was told that I was lying for the sake of an agenda.

There’s a section of football fan (just not spurs) that think the game is for them and their demographic only and will be damned if anyone dares try to change that outlook. This attitude permeates into wider society.

I said what I said.

I don't think they care. This isn't about racism or ethics, it's about power on the internet because they have zero in their own lives. It's classic community building with other dysfunctional codependent types to form a postive self image. They need the validation, they also need a target, and that's why there's so much backstabbing and hypocrisy with these people. They'll kiss your arse one day then throw you under the bus next to gain any kind of one upmanship.

None of this is about racism at the core.

Absolutely, its quite an amusing race to see who gets cancelled last in left wing circles though.
Somebody makes a gaff, fucks up the purity test and the inquisition get the Iron Maiden ready.
They then destroy that person in the name of progress

You couldn't fucking make it up
 
This lot are big fans of David Baddiel I would guess.

Those hisses we get from Chelsea by the thousands? They'd deny that too, just like him.

Probably played through the speakers by lefties to paint a narrative.

Your proof is one man's word on Twitter?

Didn't you say Twitter isn't proof? Make up your mind.

I think its fairly clear that even if it was all proven to be the work of a single individual with a mental disorder multiple accounts and a used bus ticket to the Rashford mural, you would still see it as a systemic issue as that's the only narrative you know or are willing to accept.

I said from the very beginning racism is abhorrent, but its part of the human condition, you're not going to get rid of it. you can tighten the rules and regs on the internet, force people to use ID to create accounts, cancel people, take away their livelihoods, cut of their bank accounts, heck death penalty if you like... assholes still gonna asshole.

My point was and remains this is mostly a very tolerant, loving, welcoming, multi-cultural society.
We ain't perfect but who is?

Your narrative doesn't help anything, it sows division, that's the bottom line.

If you still can't see it, or choose not too I can't help you.

So now you're saying it's not proof?

Why don't you think it does exist in this instance? A black player's mural was defaced with some nasty shite (pretty sure, having seen it, it was mentioning ethnicity) after he misses a penalty. 2 others had racist insults and emojis posted on their social media so that's racism right?

I didn't see any monkey emojis on like Shaw's insta. I didn't see any Harry kane murals defaced.
I didn't see mason mount being told to go 'back to his own country'

I'm sure the last 3 I mentioned received some abuse from shitbags on Twitter etc but none of it racially motivated. I'm sure rashford and Sancho and saka got some abuse for taking shit pens and that's no different to what you might expect to see when any footballer has a shite game but they should NEVER receive abuse based on their ethnicity: that's cuntish and abhorrent whichever way you look at it.
