    I hope that the African American actors in the soon to be released horror movie "Antebellum" donate all their earnings to the cause for being involved in something with a title that associates with slavery.

    I'm sure that they will of course.

    BBC Children in Need has today announced that the charity will match the £10m funding pledge recently made by Stormzy to tackle racial inequality in the UK. Inspired by Stormzy’s commitment, BBC Children in Need will be matching his pledge of £10m over 10 years, and developing a dedicated new funding programme to support young Black talent to achieve their full potential, working in partnership with BBC Radio 1Xtra.

    The charity will work with young people and BBC 1Xtra to develop a plan of action that will support individuals, organisations and groups in all areas of the UK and fund a range of activities that will enhance young Black lives. The programme will be developed in partnership with young people themselves who will be involved throughout the design and delivery process, from naming the new programme to reviewing grant applications and advising on the allocation of funding.

    This appears to be getting more ridiculous and racist on a daily basis (what about the less privileged white and Asian kids)?

    Police have arrested a 12 year old for sending Zaha some pretty shocking messages.

    Seems McGoldrick has received something too.

    I dont know if these messages have always been sent or if this has stirred up a lot of nasty little bustards but it's good they're being punished.

    They'll soon learn.

    Lovely thought but a mistake imo.

    Children in Need, sport, etc, should be strictly non-political imo.

    Seemingly though, whilst I'm massively against racism, there's a twitter account who is accusing the umpires in the test of being racist because they gave some very poor decisions against the West Indies. They also gave some pvery poor decision when white people were batting so.

    This is really pissing me off now. Every time a white person does something against a black person, they're racist. It could just be that they're having a bad day FFS and it wouldn't matter!

    Judging the white umpires decisions, based on their skin colour, couldn't be more racist.

    There seems to be an attitude that, in football, you can insult anyone in whichever way you choose ...

    ... but only if they play for a different team.

    Society isn't improving I it <doh>

    Kids do dumb, dumb ****. There's a good reason they aren't living alone, heading to work and paying bills.

    By adult standards they're ****ing dumb.

    I don't think you can hold it against the kids and it might not even be the bloody parents. It could be a bunch of bellends at school or anything.

    Social media platforms really need to crack down on these troll accounts. A 12 year old should not have a direct line to anyone they like.

    Agree totally - I'm certainly not proud of it but, as a youngster (up to the ager of 12 or 13) I would do what some of my "friends" did - Monkey noises aimed at black opposition. I then realised how wrong this was. School was. I am horrified by this now but it was purely as this was the attitude in the town I lived in from a lot of people and from more senior members of my family too. Bigotry was rife. Massive regret for that stuff.

    AS for the 12 year old. Pretty sure you have to be 14 for a social media account on twitter or FB. May be wrong though

    Are these people insane, haven't they heard how systemically racist England is? The police carry out racially motivated attacks on innocent black people, slave traders are celebrated and, worst of all, millionaire football players have hinted about 'barriers' ...

    ... surely not the kind of place you'd risk going to sea in a rubber dinghy to reach.

    "It is thought up to 200 migrants tried to cross the Channel on Sunday.

    Home Secretary Priti Patel said the number of crossings were rising despite the efforts of the UK and France and "simply cannot be allowed to go on".

    More than 2,400 people have crossed the English Channel from France in small boats this year."

    How come all these people are managing to cross over in rubber dinghy's when Hitler failed with the might of the third Reich behind him, makes you wonder.
    Or alternatively
    If the French posted a couple of Gendarmes on each beach from Calais to Cherbourgh maybe they would spot them setting off and arrest them, just a thought.

    A lot of these people land in Italy and are allowed to travel freely to France. The French allow them to travel north knowing they'll eventually get to the UK. French boat owners sell their boats to traffickers and then report them stolen so they can claim the insurance. We're left to house, feed and look after the immigrants.

    FFS, they're going to need a bigger bandwagon <doh>

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/53393785

    "Republic of Ireland player, James McClean :bandit:, has criticised the football authorities, his Irish team-mates and the media about their response to racist and sectarian abuse that he has suffered."
