You have to be careful in these situations mate, i mean, it appears there is one rule for one, and another for the rest. Equallity in society has been lost for quite some time now and it is a crying shame.

Exactly.

What does it matter? Anyone know which Ginger scored the first ever goal for Everton?

Guess you missed this post from Blacktoffee then Ghost? :

Mikel, really, I'm not having a go, but I wish I lived in your world. One where you're given a flat over the phone, only for it to be gone when you turn up in person with the money.

Or where bananas are thrown from cars as you walk, or where a racist sets fire to a house where you are having a party, and someone is killed.

Or where after the most atrocious terrorist attack Britain has faced, you are stopped by the Police EVERYDAY for two weeks, with other visible minorities, while white people go about their business.

Or a situation when you hate your fellow supporters so much, you want your opponents to score.

All of this is no third party reporting, all the above happened to me.

Well I know the difference of course I do. I am being extreme. It's ok to be Black in the media, it's celebrated whenever any Black person is successful in a white man's field. But music is multi-racial and has been since Elvis Presley decided to sing RnB. However I find it offensive that awards for music that I like are named MOBO. What if your a white person who sings rnb. You wrote the song, you sang the song, you played the song. It's not Black origin anymore.

Basically what they are saying is that this is Black's only, but if your not white you can also belong to the club.

And there was me thinking that N-Dubz (two MOBO awards) were all souled up black people. Oh, no, two people of greek origin and one of dual heritage, what winning a MOBO?, oh, must be racist.

Music of Black Origin.

Do you think there would not be an uproar if there was an awards ceremony called:

Music of White Origin

It would not happen.

Oh, wees free massa!!! Lordy, lordy, lordy, thank god for that.

Yes, I am being patronising because you've not read anything about my own experience. Was you in a flat firebombed by a member of the NF? I was. A woman was killed, falling from the 13th floor. Perhaps I shouldn't have complained. I didn't die. When racists made monkey noises in 1974 at West Ham, perhaps I should have continued to attend Everton matches, not worrying if I would be beaten to a pulp, after all, we're not oppresed. Perhaps I should have sung along with those Evertonians (some of whom are now good mates) who were singing Everton are white?

NO, we're not slaves, but are you arguing that there is no discrimination in society, so basically black people should just button it?

I wish I lived in your honey cloistered world. Perhaps, when terrorists hit London, I won't free afraid that the police may decide to take a pot shot at me, and shoot my face off.

Perhaps as a greatful black I should be happy that I was picked on by the police for two weeks after 7/7 stopped EVERYDAY and searched. Oh, yes, but I'm not oppresed so why complain!!!

I wish I lived in your bubble, I really do.
