Racist plane banner at game today

The sentiment of the banner is rooted in a rightwing philosophy called the great replacement which is incredibly racist
i do not see how it could be taken any other way....with any other conclusion. Who-ever paid for it needs pointing out, and any political/racist organization links investigated by patel with the findings published 2067 ish.
I think the calls for an AA battery in the car park of the Etihad is over-the-top though, unfortunately.
 
I appreciate your comment mate and enjoy your posts, but I also question the racism. Where is the racism in that? I feel intellectually offended by this stuff sometimes because I don’t consider myself a dickhead (I maybe), or a racist. Maybe race, or the media’s definition of race, and nationalism has been conflated to such an extent that we need a new definition?
Fair play to you for being open-minded and asking questions, as opposed to just shouting “woke”, which is how a lot of brain deads react when they see something they disagree with.

So the “British to be minority by 2066” is based on an old far-right conspiracy theory that black, Asian and mixed-race families are having kids at a quicker rate than all-white families, so that by 2066 the UK will be more than 50% non pure-bred pedigree white.

It’s a conspiracy theory, and very likely not accurate. But irrespective of that, the reason it’s racist is because it’s equating “pedigree white” as British and everyone else as not really British.

So someone who was born here, who’s parents were born here, but has brown skin, is not considered “British” by these people. To be truly “British” you have to come from an unbroken chain of whiteness tracing back to the Druids, according to these people.

If the plane had said “Britain to be majority non-white by 2066” it would have still be inflammatory and still had the same intention of stirring up fear and hatred, and inferring that non-white is somehowinferior to white.

By saying “Non-British” instead of “Non-white” it’s taking it a stage further by suggesting that non-whites are not British.

So kids could be born here, their parents born here, they could serve in the army and die for their country, but not be considered as “British” if their skin had any kind of pigment to it?

The intention of the message was to suggest that white is superior to non-white. You couldn’t really find a more racist message than that, mate.

Make that two AA batteries please. The ones in my TV remote are going flat.
 
I think a lot of people need to learn to accept that there are people in the world who disagree with them. That does not mean those who disagree with you do not have the right to an opinion, or should lose the right to express it. Whatever they believe, they must retain that right. It is a basic human right.

I personally do not agree with the sentiments expressed in that banner but having the freedom to express your opinion is vitally important.

As for “bringing the banner company and plane company to account”, I think that is utter nonsense. There are people who through no fault of their own have had no work for over two years. Who are you to deny them work? Further, what crime have they committed? What law or by law has been broken?

All the people behind this did is an expensive version of what we are all doing here. Giving our opinions anonymously.

I realise that this is bluemoon and I am probably opening myself up for all sorts of insults. Well, go ahead. You’re entitled to your opinion. But remember, so is everyone else, not just those you agree with.

Opinions that are considered by most people to be morally wrong or abhorrent (by the majority of societys standards), should not be aired in public. If people want to have antiquated views and opinions, that's fine - but they should keep it to themselves.

Airing an opinion in public that is offensive to people should not be without consequence. 'Freedom of speech' shouldn't be an open book in terms of being able to say whatever the fuck you want without consequence.
 
Also a very appropriate date considering it’ll be 1000 years since the Norman Conquest of England began.
I suspect that will be the reason that date was chosen due to the connotations relating to an outside force taking over the country.

I saw it and probably everyone else on the west side of the stadium. I presume it wasn't shown on the Sky coverage so only about 25,000 people will have actually seen it. I had forgotten about it until I saw this thread. So the racist pricks that paid for it wouldn't have had a huge return on their investment.

There's plenty of AA batteries on sale in Asda over the road.

The part in bold is incredibly amusing if true as I’d imagine that the percentage of the population who falls into that category will be minuscule, so we’re already here in 2022 never mind 2066
