Like others before you - you appear to jump to the conclusion that I am a "white person" which I'm not.It is not up to white people to decide what constitutes an acceptable form of anti-racism for black players to follow. If the overwhelming majority of black players - if not all of them - see taking the knee as the best course of action, it is clearly for good reason and that should be respected.

As such I don't respect at all that they are doing it as the majority at this point will be doing it as it's "expected".
If you feel they should be "respected" for this view should not the supporters who choose to boo them for support of a left wing movement wishing to defund the police also have their view respected or is it a 1 way street ?.
Be interested on your opinion of the additional and actually racist "black power" salutes now also taking hold.
IMO the current situation is causing more racial intolerance than was there before it started.
Kick it Out was/is a more suitable vehicle for football.
Not had a response from anyone yet on a previous question as to the last time racist behaviour was witnessed at a Latics game ?
Sorry, didn't know I had a post quota to fillSo we've been in the shit for months and no sign of you , then up you pop commenting on this garbage.
Funnily enough BLM is a decentralised body and as such anyone can put BLM as their party title if they desire. But as a movement BLM aren't a political party.BLM UK have applied for political party status, so Yes, they are...
Poppies are not in the slightest bit political, they are simply a symbol of remembrance to all people who lost their lives during WW1 & WW2.
The fact I even need to explain that to you really does beggar belief...

Absolute rubbish - If James McClean got pelters from Wigan fans or a lack of support from the club itself I hardly think he would be minded together with his wife to donate a substantial amount to the SC fund do you ?Funnily enough BLM is a decentralised body and as such anyone can put BLM as their party title if they desire. But as a movement BLM aren't a political party.
So when James McClean got pelters for not wearing a poppy what was that?
You didn't need to explain, but thanks for subjecting me to it.
If they're not political, why do they want to defund the Police...???Funnily enough BLM is a decentralised body and as such anyone can put BLM as their party title if they desire. But as a movement BLM aren't a political party.

No disrespect mate but you must have been to different games than me.If I'm honest, since moving down south nearly 5 years ago I haven't been to enough Latics games to comment on the last time I witnessed or heard racist behaviour - prior to moving though, it was something I saw & heard on a regular basis.
As previously mentioned & as explained by numerous players & football clubs the current taking the knee is not to show any support for the BLM organisation.
As for defunding the police - its a far more complex proposition than it's title suggests. What do you understand by it?
Defunding the Police is a wide spectrum from complete disbandment or anarchy by any other name or significant reduction in funding
So to counteract a period of white power in the distant past we now must be subjected to demonstrations of black power. Thought we were all equal.
Not sure what the slap is for - care to share ?
I cornt speyk.

Who is the black power salute aimed at ?...
So what it has morphed into, what the majority of BLM supporters understand to be, is a reduction in Police numbers.Because the original aim has (as is the modern idiom) been hi-jacked by the "3 word slogan" syndrome.
It's about reform, budget realignment and prioritisation.
In the attached article, Obama explains it far better than I ever could.
Isn't it simply to urge black people not to be treated as if they are inferior. At least, from the Munich Olympics, that's what I've always understood by it. Power to themselves ........ not over others.

The whole clenched fist thing was started by The Original BLM - The Black Panthers.Isn't it simply to urge black people not to be treated as if they are inferior. At least, from the Munich Olympics, that's what I've always understood by it. Power to themselves ........ not over others.
