Hmmm...do you think it might be because they’re afraid of what the English Soccer Hooligans might do if they make an early return from the World Cup?
My bet is that the Thug Administration makes the same damn ‘suggestion’ if America were to advance. Gutless cowards all.
This WC is a microcosm of all that is going on in the World today - cowardly ‘National’ pride, lousy refereeing (politicos) and a horrid background noise that is making everyone’s ears bleed.
It shall be interesting to see exactly are the last two teams standing.
You might also ask what is the demographic in Bolton these days. The numbers of turd world people that follow a peaceful religion are substantial.
Flying the St George in support of your ball-kicking team is racist?
I’m not sure what that means. Just what ‘race’ are you supporting by flying the traditional St George’s flag?
Welsh?
Norman?
Angle?
Saxon?
Celt?
Scot?
Irish?
Roman?
French?
Dane?
Pict?
Even the Iberian Spanish, if you believe the ancient myths.
Wow! Look at all the races that have inhabited/ruled the British Isles through history. Look at all of the races who would doubtless proudly fly the St George in support of their ball-kicking team. Is there any place where so many races have been crammed into so little an area?
Methinks that people no longer know the definition of the term ‘racist’. Someone is obviously parading their ignorance for the whole world to see. Isn’t it usually the Brits/Europeans who castigate Americans for their ignorance? I’m an American, yet it seems I know more about the history of Britain than do the Brits.
BTW, the term ‘American’ says nothing about my race.
Isn’t that exactly what happened to a group of American sigh school young men who wore America Flag T-shirts to school? They were ordered to take the shirts off and suspended because it offended Mexican students celebrating some Mexican holiday that isn’t celebrated in Mexico.
Bravo Christopher. Thats exactly why we are so above all the “other nations” in this regard.American is white,black,brown,blah blah blah.
BTW, Is Peiper gonna hide out in palm springs till the cows call him home or what?
God knows Rich. I’m going to have to actually write him a letter and ask. He is internet-free, and probably without even a telephone.
Picts oppressed my ancestors!
Who do I see about reparation payments?
Bravo Christopher…
Thanks Rich, though I’m unsure of what the ‘bravo’ was for. Was it my statement that American says nothing about my race? Or the fact that I know so much about the races in Britain?
My guess is the former.
Ditto for those who claim the Arizona immigration law is ‘racist’.
How?
‘Mexican’ is not a race. It is a nation. There are several races in Mexico. Mayan, Aztec, African, Spanish, any number of small Indian tribes that the Aztecs had subjugated when Cortez showed up. What’s ‘racist’ about securing the border? Especially against such a mongrel nation?
Not that I have a problem with ‘mongrels’, but the Left apparently takes note of race constantly and cries ‘racism’ even if both sides are ‘African’ (See Wikipedia entry on Rwanda)
Miscegenation seems to always be a problem for the Left. Shouldn’t surprise us: Democrats/Leftists have always been racist. They made the ‘Jim Crow’ laws. They devised the ‘one drop rule’. The rest of us follow Dr. King’s expostulation, which went something like content of character trumped color of skin.
Which brings an interesting question to mind: Why is Obama considered the first ‘black’ president? He’s only half-black. I believe the proper term is mulatto. Is the old ‘one drop rule’ still effective? Is black blood still considered a contaminant to white blood?
I’d really like to know. I have too many acquaintances who apparently are considered ‘black’ because Mommy was black. Some of them are close relatives. I don’t have a problem with them, or their mother, but others not only look down on them, they give me grief for being related.
