Keyblade Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Very normal for the anti-"snowflake" crowd to lose their shit whenever they see a corporate commercial with non-white people. Sounds like they need a safe space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bickster Posted November 28, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2020 Quote A group of leading UK supermarkets have joined together to take a stand against a racist online backlash that followed Sainsbury’s Christmas advertisement featuring a black family. Aldi, Asda, Co-op, Iceland, Lidl, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose ran their adverts back-to-back during two primetime slots on Channel 4 on Friday evening, with the hashtag #StandAgainstRacism. Normally, competitors actively avoid airing their ads close together. A Channel 4 announcement introduced the ad break, saying: “Channel 4 stands up against racism. After the reaction to this year’s Sainsbury’s Christmas commercial, retailers have put their usual festive rivalries aside across two adbreaks tonight to stand side-by-side with us too.” Guardian 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The cynic in me feels they've done a cost benefit analysis and decided it's financially beneficial to take a stand, but I'm glad for it regardless. It feels like for too long, people have been able to say what they like knowing people are too polite to call them out for their bullshit, especially companies who take the approach of "the customer is always right". If someone feels threatened by seeing black people enjoying Christmas on TV, their life must be pretty **** tragic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 This story took up a couple of pages in this thread in June when it was claimed that it was an attempted beheading and a racially-motivated attack being kept quiet and not reported upon: Quote Paranoid schizophrenic who slit girl's throat cleared of murder A paranoid schizophrenic who admitted slitting a seven-year-old girl's throat in a park has been cleared of murder. Eltiona Skana had admitted the manslaughter of Emily Jones on the grounds of diminished responsibility, but was on trial after pleading not guilty to murder. On Thursday, evidence had been heard from a consultant forensic psychiatrist who has been treating the 30-year-old at high-security Rampton Hospital. ... Jurors heard that Skana told a nurse while in Rampton: "It was premeditated, I waited in a park and picked my victim, I did what I did then tried to run away." But the court was also told the conversation took place at a time when Skana was not taking her anti-psychotic medication as part of a change in treatment at the hospital. When police raided her flat in Bolton after her arrest they found a stash of untaken, anti-psychotic drugs, which amounted to around a month's worth of medication. In 2017, Skana had stabbed her own mother and in another incident attacked her sister and had been admitted to psychiatric hospitals three times. Simon Csoka QC, defending, asked her consultant at Rampton, Dr Syed Afghan: "You would agree that there's ample evidence in her past medical history of paranoid schizophrenia? Remitting and relapsing and leading to psychotic violence when in relapse?" Dr Afghan replied: "Violence while under psychosis, while she's been psychotic she's been violent, yes." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's appalling - there should now be a big pressure on the people that run Millwall to do something about this - the players need to speak out, the manager needs to speak out and for me, the ground needs closing until such time as they come up with a plan on how they control the racism in their fanbase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a few Millwall fans (and a couple of Britain Furst types) suggest that this will happen everywhere, but it's only been reported as having happened at one ground out of the twenty odd that have had fans in today. Would it happen at Villa Park? Possibly, but I'd imagine it'd be limited to one or two racist throbbers who'd be removed and banned immediately. I don't think we'll see booing at places other than those where the crowd are predominantly racist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to hear if any of the other games had booing... by your comments, it sounds as though they haven't, which is good. I can see taking the knee being phased out before the full return of fans anyway. QPR don't do it now as Les Ferdinand said it had lost its impact and I think Coventry don't do it anymore either. I could imagine booing at St Andrews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
