We are same age mate and I went through the same indoctrination as you with racism being part of everyday life, and as kids growing in that environment it was part of normal day to day life, so why would we question it we knew no difference. My father's good friend was a black American air serviceman, they met during the WW2 and he stayed in this country after marrying a local girl, I have photo of me sat in one end of a silver cross pram with his daughter Sat the other, so from my parents I wasn't subjected to any racism that I can remember. I do worry that shouting racist is being used more frequently and unethically by the media more to glorify and sell stories. In the case of Hussey and Fulani we will have to agree to disagree, which I hope you agree would be far better than locking horns and possibly falling out, I think this has split people down the middle no matter your, colour, race, or religion. Fulani has been giving more interviews, and is now receiving disgusting abuse online for speaking out about how she felt, from racists who are brave behind a keyboard. 

Steve you are very late to the game, not sure why considering your original post started the debate, and having a quick look you have been posting on other threads regularly after my post which you are responding too. I and millions more like me do not consider it racist, I've even read many blacks who have written on social media sites, saying definitely not racist, and one guy who got it spot on when saying, people who believe that was racist are the reason why racism will never end, not even the person in question said she felt she had been racially abused. It's very admirable being against racism, but you dilute the negativity of what a racist is, when you accuse someone of being a racist because they asked a simple question. There's an image going around this country of Cilla Black on Blind date, saying in her normal questioning of all her contestants " well number 3 what's your name and where are you from " the contestant retorts with a one word reply " racist " At that just sums up how ridiculous and outrageous the argument is to call someone racist who asks that question, when all she was trying to do was enquire about her heritage. 

Sat in a rather nice pub in Glastonbury while my son and brother climb the Tor. Think I got the best deal 😁.

Absolute fucking scum! 

Horrendous. Aggravated burglary….. can’t even imagine how you recover and enjoy your home again. 
 
unsurprising that the likes of Rooney turn their homes into fortresses. 

Three epsodes into The English on the iPlayer, impressed so far.

That was what i thought as soon as i read about it, that she was in a stupid way trying to have a conversation about her heritage and made a complete ass of it.

Poor/fishy from FIFA that they haven't shared the conclusive images with the world but yes, the angle from above which ITV have shown suggests there's a millimetre or two still on the line.

Agree, karma in any event👍

Apparently some of the overhang of the ball is over the line, so therefore it’s still in play. 

Crazy night of football. I just hope Japan can hold on to go through. 

Germany going out as it stands, go Japan!

Well I don't find the Royals obnoxious, and I don't believe Hussey to be a flagrant racist or any other sort of racist. So I suppose that makes me a racist for supporting someone who was being inquisitive about someone's heritage. Of all the interviews I've seen of Ngozi Fulani I haven't once seen her use the word racist or accuse Hussey of being a racist. 

If we are going to call this racial discrimination then god help us. For me this was clearly an 83 year old lady who was trying to ascertain where the other persons culture was from, albeit it a very ingnorant way of going about it. The charity worker hit the nail on the head, when she said " I didn't want her to resign in my CULTURE we respect our elders, she just needed talking too " Yes she is British she was born in Britain, she will I assume hold a British passport, and she prefers to be associated with an African-Caribbean culture which is her right. Personally I feel the questioning was to find out her cultural heritage, but in a haphazard clumsy way by an elderly person who clearly lacked the skills to interact, and not by a committed racist. 

I, for one, am very happy Wales are out and out with a whimper. I hope it’s another 60 odd years until they qualify again as well, they’re shit.
I remember their team celebrating like they’d won the cup when Iceland knocked us out of the Euros, so fuck em. 

Hung, drawn and quartered. 

Third goal was even worse, through his legs; imagine the reaction if Jordan did that.

Good save by Pickford there. Could have got caught by deflection 

What a goal!

And just like that, the Welsh are done .
