Palace Fans Against Racism

eaglesdare said:
Could have saved yourself a lot of hassle if you started off with that.

I can't speak for others but I certainly can't say I have witnessed any of this behavior at games.

And have you any proof of this alleged behavior? Has it been reported to the club and or police?

He did start off with that. And provided proof. The grubby corners of this site instantly jumped on him for 20-odd pages over it.

None of this was an attack on anyone, it was about keeping Selhurst Park safe from the scourge of racism. Anyone who finds that to be offensive should pause to think about their reason why.

Quite possibly, but that doesn't make it racist.

When it's in such an out-of place context, it does. The whole purpose of it is to make non-white non-Anglo Saxon people uncomfortable.

It wasn't the whole of what he said though, Linford, nor was it the part that most people objected to.

I'm not speaking in defence of any other poster on this thread, but I do think it would be a mistake to say that the OP was met with grubbiness for no good reason.

I am one of a number of posters who never, ever, post on the news and politics threads, but who felt strongly enough about the OP that I had to respond. I took some time to set out my views as reasonably as I could. If you can be arsed you could look back through this interminable thread and take a look.

I did say I wouldn't post on this thread again, and here I am doing exactly that!
