He used the word 'coloured' when speaking of  black players. Hanging is too good for this racist. Fortunately, the politically correct  BBC warned me in advance there would be offensive racist language. I'm so glad they did, but I still had to lie down in a darkened room until the shock subsided.

Of course, Mr Clarke had to fall on his sword for being such a racist and is currently waiting for his P45.

Madness , utter madness
Political correctness beyond belief 
turns out you can't say anything without upsetting someone

"you can please most of the people some of the time,
you can please some of the people most of the time ,
so please yourself ,then at least you know you're pleasing someone " 

[Rangie]

Completely & utterly fed up with all this nonsense, can't help wondering where its all going to end personally I think the blacks/ coloured or whatever they want to be called have put themselves back 70 years or more.

While everyone leaps aboard the outrage bus, it is important to step back slightly and actually UNDERSTAND why what he said is so upsetting to many.

I accept is is extremely difficult to find a single word that describes those footballers (and any one for that matter) of other than "caucasian" heritage that does not offend someone .. but the use of the word "coloured" is certainly offensive to a great number ... why you might ask ??

It simply harks back to the days of legal segregation, mainly in the USA, but also in places like South Africa, where the whole basis of segregation was not based on "white/non white" - which would have been bad enough - but on "white/coloured" - where "coloured" = "non white" - and that is how things like buses, drinking fountains, shop queues, entrances to hotels, and a thousand other places/things were labelled ....

"Whites" were free to enter at will, "Coloured" were pointed away/banned/refused ... so the term "Coloured" came to mean "2nd class citizen" or worse, as it implied that "whites" were somehow "superior" beings... it is that element that makes the word so upsetting.

You may not like it, and may argue it is just a word to describe a "non-white", however the phrase "white" in itself is inaccurate .. we all have some sort of skin colour/tone so are all "coloured" to some extent, but we were never oppressed to the same degree, simply based on our skin tone.

Greg Clarke should simply have known better, and has rightly gone, it now matters that his replacement actually thinks before speaking.

Perhaps it would help to stop identifying people by skin colour or ethnicity altogether?

Not that that's a particularly 'woke' agenda appeasing idea

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Tolerance.

We are all told to be tolerant of others.......and rightly so.

We are tolerant of gays, lesbians, gender fluid, gender neutral, non-gender specifics. Generally (when left wing media) is not trying to incite a race war, the people of the world rub along together 'reasonably well'

However, one large section of society is not allowed the luxury of tolerance. Middle aged white men who struggle with the latest politically correct language, who must be made an example of. Much like Greg Clarke.

God forbid there should be equal rights for the silent majority

Already cancelled BT sport, as I said I would a few months ago, and SKY is going when my contract is up in March. Reminding me that we are all racist by kneeling before the god of wokeness before every game is bad enough, but when people are pilloried for used everyday phrases, which seem harmless enough to me, then I'm out of it. They can shove it up their arses, be they black, brown, white, yellow or green.

One thing that I've found strange with the US election, is the MSM's fascination with how different ethnic groups voted. 

Surely they are all just Americans?   

Or is that me just being a naive country boy who should be 'cancelled'?

Terminated, not cancelled.

For a 'racist wall mongering xenophobe', Trump certainly got a lot of Latino and Hispanic votes

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

OK....so Greg Clarke used outdated language and apologised for not being at the cutting edge of political correctness. It looks like he jumped before he was pushed because using the word coloured in2020 is clearly far worse than murder.

Strange really, because I can remember a time when 'coloured' was considered a polite and respectful term of endearment, especially when the norm for the time was wog, coon, sambo, jungle bunny etc...etc...

Not enough to apologise. Greg needs to take the knee of submission to BLM.

[Doctor Gollum]

And then hand over both kidneys and his spleen.

Obviously it won't be enough, but it's a start

His vote among African Americans also rose significantly.

[Doctor Gollum]

Indeed.

In fact, the only people who didn't vote for him are white establishment Elites and pot smoking lefties on the West coast...
