The completely wrong accusation that 13 people (not 19 get your facts tight) were burnt to death by racists. Just a quick rudimentary search shows this is false but no doubt is doing the rounds among BLM supporters to confirm how evil white people are.
Secondly, the tired and constant reference to the slave trade. Snore. Black people were just as complicit at enslaving their own as the European traders taking them from one place to another. Again, a rudimentary understanding of history shows the Barbary pirates to have been active in slaving Southern Europeans for sale across North Africa for centuries. Not to mention the Ottoman Empire murdering and enslaving over a million Armenians. But these facts don’t fit the narrative so we’ll overlook them and blame white people only.
Then you have the ludicrous argument that somehow people’s rising anger at the way in which they are being accused of constant racism and having to put up with our beautiful game being hijacked by Marxists (yes marxists, do some research if you don’t know what it means) can be explained by the fear of Mr T coming round and shagging the mrs. Not sure if that’s meant to be funny or a subtle intention to highlight some sort of white fragility. Either way it’s a terrible argument.
Lastly the same tired argument bringing up the past about Irish dogs and blacks etc completely unwarranted by today’s standards. It was posted elsewhere in this thread that one of the fans had been going rangers for 50 odd years and not seen any racism. That’s my experience too over 25 years form 81-2005 so not sure where your going with this totally irrelevant argument. But it again highlights yours and your ilks belief that some people somehow have a lot to feel guilty or ashamed about. We don’t.
In summary, uneducated people like yourself and many other woke justice warriors cherry pick history to suit their narrative that BLM is a virtuous movement that wants to bring Justice and equality to all people that are victims of white oppression. This is entirely misguided and fuels the forever increasing tensions between people of different ethnicities in the UK today. Britain is an unbelieveably tolerant and welcoming place to live so why not celebrate that instead of trying to desecrate the historical memorials. Kneeling in submission to these clowns along with black panther gestures is not doing anything to promote justice and equality other than making many people feel alienated from a club once much loved
