Merzbow Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 There's been at least 6 reported hangings of black people within the last few days and now this comes out.. This is just going to get even worse, isn't it? The was another huge racist attack up in Scotland too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted June 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2020 Dominic Raab talking about 'taking the knee' as something about subordination/subjugation and being from Game of Thrones would be hilarious if he weren't actually the foreign secretary. If you understand what taking the knee represents, you have a significantly better understanding of cultural events in the US right now than the fucking foreign secretary. Enough racists think being asked to take the knee is a submissive gesture to black authority. This won't help. And it gives an insight - who does Raab think he's being asked to be subordinate to?

Dominic Raab, the former human rights lawyer. It would be funny if it wasn't so fucking ghastly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Without trivialising anything, it was the way he referred to it as "The Game Of Thrones" like he was a WWE star referring to an English football club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Also, when somebody has actually explained what it means and therefore it has long been established as meaning what that person has said it to mean, to then try and paint it as something else is ignorant at best, and snide and dishonest at worst. Given that this is Dominic "It Puts The Lotion In The Basket" Raab we're talking about, I'm not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, that added to the cringe. It's like people referring to WCW as "the WCW." Bret Hart was guilty of that, the Canadian dimwit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CavemanLynn Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 If the phrase "The Game Of Thrones" turns up in the shitting thread, I'm going to be very upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2020 Saw a new one today. #BritishLivesMatter What the fuck does that even mean? Probably the same people who were crying about PL players taking a knee. Some were even complaining that they should have been thinking about Covid victims, who they just had a minute's silence for.

wordsfromlee Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I've been seeing some rugger fans/Tories complaining about 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot' potentially getting banned by RFU from being sung due to it being a slavery song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
