It seems that our Gary is calling for compulsory race training for all in football......including FANS. Yes....compulsory training. I assume that we will have to pass a test before we’re allowed into the ground? If you fail, do you get taken away for ‘re-education’?
Since fans (rightly or wrongly) associate taking the knee with BLM, all they have to do is to change their method of protest. But they become more entrenched and convince themselves that the booing proves that all fans are racist. BLM is a side issue for me. Taking the knee is subjugation and I won’t have any part of that. Since when did submission equalise anything?
If you read this forum Gary, please give your head a shake!

Taking the knee started out as a powerful symbol that has now totally lost its meaning. I’m with the boo boys. All right minded people believe that black, white, pink, green or any colour people are just that, people, all worth the same.
I will freely admit that I hold prejudicial view about some groups of people, based on my experiences, but not based on colour or race or religion. I just cautious when I meet new people from those groups I have had bad experiences of, but surely that is normal? So Gary will no doubt wish to re-educate me!
The real issue is racists on social media should be pursued and prosecuted, that is what is required, not meaningless gestures. Black live matter, white lives matter, and all colours in between. Leadership is needed from government not muddy knees.
