Woke watch

Post arsene york-hunt »

"There is a very good section on GB news where the ludicrous idiocies of Wokeness are looked at I thought we would should have one for WHO. I'll start with Baptiste on BBC: In Hungary,an ambassador's family are kidnapped by Islamic terrorists and carry out atrocities. At the end of the last episode Baptiste finds out that it is a false flag operation and conveniently, the real culprits are white supremacists who want to stop all immigration. Coronation Street ITV a gay black footballer is stopped by the police, because he is driving an expensive car. He is pushed to the ground during an altercation, and damages his leg threatening his career. Could have been written by Dawn Butler or a BLM activist."

"collyrob 2:54 Fri Oct 14 Can't cheer for him really (the team he coaches) but agree with his comment. Playing sports as a kid, your team was your team, whoever was on it. Lots of Native kids played hockey for instance. You play ball - he coaches it. Now outside the game, the sport guys could face off against the non-sports guys, but the actual sport was always about who was best, not who you were."

Why is boys and girls and different backgrounds tending to go into and not go into different fields considered some sort of problem that needs correcting? Not enough Asian girls into football you say? Shall we extend this to not enough wealthy Nigerian girls into bricklaying or not enough heterosexual white working class boys into wedding planning? Eliminating all social peer group influence and individual choices is not exactly realistic. You'll be close to eliminating free will.

"Fo the Communist 6:00 Agree. And conclude that the likely actual root of the problem is not enough black/asian/non white girls getting involved at a young age or sticking with it through teenage years. So therefore how do you tackle THAT problem? The fact that there aren't many non white players in the current squad is only a symptom of that problem. The manager is clearly picking the best players from the pool available to her, as results will testify. Rather than the knee jerk solution of imposing selection criteria to the manager, which will likely cause her to resign anyway, look at what can be done to get more non white girls coming through the system from school age up."

I looked at the BBC board of directors. 7 men and 6 women. Ofthe men one is of Indian descent. Another Afroc-American mixed race. Of the women 1 dresses her hair very short and is Scottish but probably a lesbian. The one thing that is obvious is that they are all high-flying business people. Fairly plain that there are no working class anywhere to be seen. Racial and sexual equality is OK as long as they don't get to mix with the oiks!

"arsene york-hunt 2:27 Thu Oct 13 It's perfectly reasonable to highlight the apparent current lack of diversity in the woman's game if it is a call for minority groups to get involved, Everyone would benefit were that the case. The trouble here, as appears to be the case, is the element of race baiting - intentional or not - which is utterly counter-productive. It always makes me laugh how, once again, football is held up as the barometer of the country's attitude to race when in my view the sport is miles ahead of other areas in terms of equal opportunities (How many non-white males are current board members of the BBC for example? Last time I looked it wasn't very many). But as long as we are all trained to look over there at nasty football then we are not shining the light on other areas of society where I suspect there are far more permanent and real barriers."

"If being Trans is a genuine situation as in they are not the actual gender their body suggests then denying them treatment is cruel. If you're sending a message which says it is ok for children to identify as a gender that is not the one their body suggests it is, then you are playing along with their narcissism/mental illness and are perpetuating the harm. Self identifying in spite of the physical reality is not a neutral moral act and nor is it a subjective fact. It is morally and objectively wrong. That's why admitting men into female sports and changing rooms, and enabling medical transitioning is wrong, because the whole fucking premise is a mistake."

"I've dealt with loads of trans kids at school. I'm fine with them identifying as whatever. I just don't think surgery or medical intervention before the age of 18 should be allowed and with this, like all politics I keep my opinions to myself on premises. I guarantee that I've dealt with this a lot more than you and in every instance in real life I've been fully supportive of them in the building. I can't stop them doing any surgery (and at no point have I had to deal with that in.school) and wouldn't intervene as its not my right. I think the law shouldn't allow it I've seen caess in primary school where parents are acquiescing children ages 5 that they are trans, and at that age there's no way they know for sure. Children go through phases. When they're older and still identify then fine, fully transition, but below 18, I can't agree with that as a law. If you can't get that through your head then there's an issue with you as my views are hardly extreme."

"I must confess that, had somebody claimed to know my children and what they need better than I do simply on the basis of them having a ""decent"" degree from a ""prestigious"" university then they would get very short change from me. ""Observing"" a kid amongst a group of 20 or 30 for a few hours over a couple of days while they're t school is no basis on which to build a psychological assessment that could be to the detriment of the rest of their entire life, no matter how many boxes it ticks."

"The highlighting of no blacks in the team that won the EURO semi-final and a subsequent interview with a black British woman saying she could not identify with the team because there were no blacks in the team (aka racist comment), was the final straw at which point I stopped paying the license fee."

According to the BBC dogma it is ok if you are a prejudiced bigot provided the object is white people. That's why they keep employing Yasmine Allibhai Brown and Kehende Andrews as a commentators on their shows.

I wondered how long it would be before it became an issue that the Euro Championship winning ladies only had 2 or 3 black or brown faces in the entire 22 woman squad. How long will it be before selection has to be by racial %age mixes and not by being the best?

"I see the BBC are back on the old not enough diversity in the England women’s team agenda again. All this bollocks about not being inspired because there is no one with my skin colour playing is fucking shit and frankly lazy race baiting. Sick of this shit now, we can’t even enjoy the fact the ladies are European champions without being thought of as racists."

"That's right Mad Dog. It is my view that if, as a teacher, you come down so clearly on this side of what has become a highly politicised issue, you are also promoting censure of the people and institutions that are supposed to be making highly sensitive decisions. This matter is way beyond your remit and has absolutely nothing to do with you. Yes, I believe you are way out of line, especially as most of the people reacting to this are simple homophobes."

"So because I don't agree with performing life altering surgery on children under the age of 18, who at this time aren't deemed old enough to make some decisions in the eyes of the law, I'm promoting homophobia and shouldn't work as a teacher? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight"
