You know the real sad part of all this?
There is ACTUAL fucking racism in football, and the world, to be tackling and having conversations about.
Instead, people are campaigning against a ship put on a badge in 2016, that looks like a ship that's been on previous badges, that looks like a ship previously associated with the canals, that looks like a ship on the coat of arms, that was put there 35 years too close to when slavery was happening, over 200 years ago. Fuck right off.

If it wasn't bad enough with the main stream and social media groups incessantly attacking us (often with made up lies). We have so called city fans fabricating stories on their behalf to hand everybody another stick to beat us with.
I'm sure when they originally created the badge and the coat of arms before that they thought 'let's stick a slavery ship in there we were really good at that'. Fucking pathetic.

I am against prejudice and injustice. This City fan is entitled to his opinion regarding the ship on our badge. No issue with that. If people want to discuss this issue that is fine. But, that's all that should happen. City were created after slavery was abolished. The ship can also be seen as a positive thing associated with Manchester and that is why it's on the badge not because of slavery. Unless someone can prove that Manchester chose to include the ship because of some desire to recommence the slave trade there really is no case to answer.

Why should anyone from LONDON, so no affinity to Manchester, have any influence on what happens to OUR badge?
It's total fucking nonsense...unless it's money they want?

He doesn't have a "different opinion". He is literally depreciating Manchester's history.He clearly is. I disagree with what he’s saying, but don’t really like this trend of claiming people aren’t Blues for having different opinions.
These kind of people should understand that is not possible to erase the history.
Yes, slavery is wrong, but it IS in the history books and no matter how much you dislike it, it will be there forever.
As I said previously in this thread, Egypt's pyramids were also made by slaves. More than half of the things that we consider "masterpieces" are related with slavery, robbery, and many other "bad" things.
Following this mentality, we should destroy all of them. We should burn every book that speaks about the past, because we consider it is "not correct".
We should eliminate everything and live in a fantasy world in where nobody is offended by the things that happened in the past, isn't it that?
This is not a Man City or Man United issue. I think that both sides of Manchester should be together in this and shut the mouths of this people.
You don't like our history? I respect you, but that doesn't give you the right of try to change it.

Not as big a City fan as me though.You can see from his Twitter account that he is obviously a City fan.

Anyone seen this?:
You know when someone’s chatting shit when Piers Morgan comes across as the voice of reason.
This road we appear to be on, isn’t going to end well.
If people become more easily offended (as they undoubtedly are) that makes for a more violent, disharmonious society.
How can it not?
For a society to function, there has to be give and take, both ways. Attacking a football club’s badge in that way does not represent much ‘give’.
