Wokeism of the day *Revised Mod Note in OP and threadbanned users*

AllForIt

Foxrock Sandymount and Booterstown are fairly up there in terms of middle class areas aren't they. And I didn't know there are absolutely no middle class demographics in Tipperary or Laois, just 100% boggers.

That doesn't really tally with your assertions does it? Oh and the reason they're all white is because the population was about 99.9% white when they started their careers.

Ffs gime a break you're as bad as the woke crowd.

They would fit right in on Tatooine. The chap second in from the top left looks like Jar Jar Binks. Beside him could be Jabba the Hut!

It would have to be Millwall with their “baggage” doing this - the narrative can be written.

I agree with Kick It Out and anti-racism and anti-discrimination campaigns but I vehemently disagree with the forced “taking the knee” and Black Lives Matter as an organization.

Apparently I’m now racist. Who knew ?

D’Arcy Tipperary?

Exactly, shame it was Millwall.

I'm in the same boat, being anti racist and anti-BLM are not mutually exclusive.

Booing players for taking the knee doesn't make you racist, but when the club involved has a long history of racism accusations, this will only come across one way.

They are all white Irish. And south Dublin is clearly over represented.

But I wasn't really talking about the front of camera talent, where do the rest of the workers come from? Where are RTE jobs even advertised?

Not my perception.

If you don't like something ..ignore it. Booing just makes you look triggered.

Well, you see, you didn't have the link in the first one, then you called them "wokies". Then you refered to protesting as a "woke activity". And lastly, you linked to a sun article.

So not easy to tell what the truth is here - for all I know, it could be the wall of a barber's in Mayo.

Whereas everyone should stand up and point out what they perceive as discrimination/racism, etc?

I say boo away. Let people express themselves over things that they disapprove of. God knows, we have plenty of other people moaning or showing their dislike/disapproval in other ways for all manner of reasons.

Being ostracized because you don't support BLM and don't want to make superficial or hypocritical gestures... is ridiculous.

Thats the thing about these plonkers. They rant diversity and privilege to those of us working in highly diverse sectors of the economy. ( my job has been minority Irish for years now across different offices), while keeping the jobs in RTE not just to the whites, not just to the white Irish, but to a tiny class of upper middle class white Irish from certain postcodes.

The agenda is clear. BLM attempt to demonize and ostracize anyone and everyone who doesn’t agree with their ideology, their actions and the roadmap for achieving their goals...after they ostracize down the line they wonder why they are loosing support. It looks like now they are... their mask is slipping... my US based family... wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire... they are fairly liberal yet successful family but they can’t abide this craic with how they behave....

The BLM playbook is based on big loud displays, to keep people's attention on them.. which is hard to do with covid, and the US elections. No doubt they'll start making destructive gestures again in a major way soon.

I suspect the crap going on with sports and the demand to show "solidarity" is coming from the woke crowd, and those wanting to cash in by showing their virtue, rather than BLM.

It doesn't really matter though. Neither BLM nor the woke crowd, can allow differing opinions because their own opinions are so flimsy. So, it comes down to group control, conveying guilt, etc.

The problem with the Millwall BLM booing is that the club and its fans have a long standing reputation for racism.

So no matter how legitimate the stand against kneeling for BLM, having that message delivered by Millwall is like writing a fantastic speech condemning all of the legitimate issues of BLM - Marxism, anti-family, anti-capitalism etc, and then having the speech delivered by David Duke.

They’ve done well in terms of PR up to this... the Premier League thing was quite a coup for them. But I’d imagine now a lot of clubs and indeed players will be thinking about next season going.. “ ok, this whole BLM thing, did my bit but the road they are steering towards now isn’t an association to be comfortable with, so enough.. “

It should have ended last season but tbh it should have been a one off. It’s like the poppies - forced capitulation to a cause is meaningless.

I'm more focussing on Dion Dublin's words.
The absolute cheek and stupidity of him and the recklessness of what he espoused.
Of course, Linekar was in like Flynn.
Let's hope there is a vaccine pronto for this malignancy.

Oh it’s incurable!! I asked once why the NHS and key workers got a thank you once and the taking the knee bollocks was ongoing.

“Your privilege is showing”. Eh ???

It should....

Problem is... the BLM playbook will attack whomever is the person or persons who end up being the catalyst for its ending... they shot themselves in the foot basically by not saying when it was to end and sticking to it.
