re: So it's kneel against racism week in the Premier League

SUB.

We disagree.

But thank you for trying to help me understand why people are against it.

It is interesting the people that argue against anti-racism don’t start off with.

“I’m not racist but…”

Props to shrevtiger for being able to do so.

Just be honest. The kneeling is for white people to feel good about themselves in thinking that they are "fighting racism" while participating in some effortless performance art that actually does nothing for their cause.

I am honest. I do feel good pointing out racism in all its hidden forms and political speech. Such as when people claim we need to get rid of anti-racism messaging.

I do not think it is some effortless performance art.


Be honest with yourself.

Why are you so against anti-racist messaging?

quote:

---

Because it is a contrived statement to make. I don't owe you or anyone some self-aggrandizing statement about my values and/or beliefs.

---

It is not owed. Or should be forced.

I’d just think you’d want people to know if you were not a racist

Since you are arguing against anti-racism messaging.

I think it is just letting people know

I don’t think this is virtual signaling

If you are not racist. Why would you be against seconds of an anti racism message?

Because it's a completely hollow meaningless gesture that does absolutely nothing and only serves to further the false narrative that racism is a widespread issue.

This creates the type of morons who see everything through the lens of race and lead to situations like hundreds of thousands of dollars being raised to support a murderer because of his skin color like this track thug in Texas. As an aside, your accusation that people can't think on their own is hilarious considering who you're sticking up for. Further, this false narrative leads to situations where people are killed and billions of dollars worth of property are stolen/destroyed because a thug criminal died as a result of his numerous poor choices.

Further, nothing would make a true racist more happy than to see that their racist actions were upsetting people. They aren't sitting around self-reflecting because some soccer players a taking a knee. They are celebrating that people living much better lives than they consider them important enough to notice despite their sad hateful existence.

Further further, we can't make any progress to actually help people because even bringing up that there are issues that need fixing in the first place is racist thus the cycle of failure continues and is blamed on... you guessed it, racism.

Us normal white folk just want to watch a soccer game, or football game, or whatever without being forced fed dumb, and false, political/racial narratives.
