I agreed in principle with this at the start but it is time to move on as it has lost the impact of the action. I get annoyed with match of the day constantly showing it and saying the same thing everytime. Time now is to sort social media out as they just ignore the issue.

The clap for the NHS only lasted 8 weeks before been stopped, not been racist but I know which one I would sooner still support.

What a bizarre comparison.??
Fortunately it's the players decision who decide when to stop.
"sort social media out" is just a ridiculous statement,please expand???

I still wear my golliwog badges on my fishing hat, what was good then is good enough now, they cant change history.

Lost it's impact now and feels obligatory, rather than spontaneous.

In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Should be taught in every school.

Tokenism at best now. I just wonder when the narrative will move on to the Rooney rule.

If you get a chance check out Matthew Syed’s book Rebel Ideas especially the chapter about the CIA. I read it and saw cultural diversity in a new much more positive light.

I see those evil Marxists at BLM have distributed the first £175k of the funds raised last summer:

- Abahlali base Mjondolo (£14,650) – a Black South African shack dwellers’ movement campaigning against evictions and for public housing

- All Black Lives (£5,000) – a Black activist group that helped coordinate last summer’s protests

- Acts of Love International (£5,000) – an African-Caribbean community centre offering support and activities for Black and migrant communities

- African Rainbow Family (£10,500) – a charity supporting LGBTQ+ refugees and asylum seekers

- AZ Mag (£7,500) – an arts and culture initiative for LGBTQ+ people of colour

- B’Me Cancer Communities (£15,000) – a charity that protects the health of BME and low income communities

- Justice for Black Lives (£3,200) – a Black activist group that helped coordinate last summer’s protests

- Independent Workers of Great Britain (£15,000) – the UK’s leading trade union for precarious workers

- Northern Police Monitoring Project (£11,000) – a grassroots group working to build community resistance against police violence, harassment and racism

- Sistah Space (£10,000) – a community-based non-profit that supports Black women and girls who have survived domestic abuse – a community-based non-profit that supports Black women and girls who have survived domestic abuse

- Sindicato de Manteros de Madrid (Street Vendors Union) (£7,500) – a Spanish labour union for precarious street vendors, who are primarily from Black and migrant communities

- A Tribe Named Athari (£5,000) – a Pan-Afrikan, anti-colonial, youth-led organisation, centred around transformative justice and community healing

- United Voices of the World (£15,000) – A grassroots trade union for low paid, migrant and precarious workers

- United Family and Friends Campaign (£45,000) – a coalition of those affected by deaths in police, prison and psychiatric custody, which supports others affected by state violence


Still, all just virtue signalling eh. The difference these charities and organisations can make to people’s lives is immeasurable, unbelievable what can happen with a bit of publicity. Shame so many on here couldn’t bear the sight of someone kneeling down.
