I am so sorry. I didn't realise you had a stutter.

Is there anything we can do pre-match for stutterers everywhere?


You would not be allowed, it would be deemed stutterist !

Wrong. Taking the knee as a form of race related protest can be traced back to 2011/2012 in American football, before the BLM movement existed. It became a major political issue in 2016 when Colin Kaepernick (San Francisco quarterback) 'took a knee' during the playing of the national anthem, at which point candidate Trump and other right wing commentators attacked him for being anti-American.

The first recorded appearance of #blacklivesmatter is in 2013 as a response to the aquittal of a US police officer accused of murdering a black man.

Black Lives Matters does not have a clear organisation and has never put forward a candidate for election in any country and therefore is not a political party.

Sorry that the facts don't support the right wing dogma.
Cheeky T..t, I am certainly not right wing and you are in fact wrong as BLM is a political movement

Is there something you could suggest that wouldn’t result in you publicly soiling yourself on here again?

Party. I said party.

I would argue that it is a movement that has become highly politicised. When you are arguing for the rights of a minority against a powerful, entrenched majority politics will never be far away.

I've said this before, but your comebacks really do need working on.

You love dishing it out, but don't seem so keen on being ridiculed yourself.

I think this piece, ostensibly, about the Millwall v QPR game tonight, sums up a lot of what is wrong about this discussion.

That's it?

"A Black Lives Matter group" has registered. They "could" field candidates next year.

So a group allied to Black Lives Matters has registered, not the actual Black Lives Matter organisation - because it is not a single organisation.

And your article is from The Telegraph. Not exactly the most reliable source in the debate.

That has the feel of 'a bloke in the pub told me' or 'I read it on Facebook'.

Yes, your comment about me having a stutter was particularly cutting. Shall we get back to your latent racism?

Sadly for you I am not a racist. We have had this conversation before, as you well know. You will also recall I called you out for it then, as I am calling you out for it now. You cannot go around labelling people racist just because they don't agree with your view of the world.
