Racist Chelsea fans show us what real bigots look like: white, working class football fans
What does a racist look like? The Chelsea fans abusing a black man on the Paris Metro and celebrating their racism fit the bill. They are white, shaven-headed, dressed in man-made fibres and above above all football fans, members of what the elite portray as a race riot waiting to happen.
We love ’em. Proper bigots. Proper racists.
We can have a debate about how football should have stamped out this sort of thing. How Chelsea must punish these pillocks. How football provides role models that bind the nation’s morals. There will be anti-racist T-shirts and armbands and annoucements in the ground. Football is not a hotbed of racism. But the elite believe it is. They are sentitive to racism. They look out for it. So. Listen to the announcement. These Chelsea throwbacks are a rare sight because people have fought real State-sponsored racism. It’s not the racism of now the commentators and politicos will admonish so much as the return of the racism of the past, when white unreconstructed racists spread fear and intolerance.
But Amedy Coulibaly is not a racist. Sure, he murdered four Jews at a kosher deli, but everyone from Barack Obama to the BBC says Coulibaly was not motivated to kill by race.
It’s a pity he wasn’t wearing a replica Chelsea shirt when he murdered four Jews at the shops. If he had been, the British Press and White House could have really gone for him.
And now we see Mahmudul Choudhury. He’s been on view at Bromley Magistrates Court, where he pleaded guilty to posting a pro-Hitler image on Facebook. Hitler was seen telling Choudhary’s Facebook friends:
“Yes man, you were right. I could have killed all the Jews, but I left some of them to let you know why I was killing them. Share this picture to tell the truth a whole world”.
Choudhury wrote:
“Yes, now we can see why.”
Choudhury, from Tower Hamlets, London, is a teacher. One of his former students saw his post and message that barbaric Jews are asking to be mass murdered. It’s their fault they get slaughtered.
So. He’s a racist. Does he represent the teaching community? Muslims? Facebookers?
But the BBC man who says Jews in Paris are fair game; the UKippers who demonise Romanians; the man at the dinner party who casually equates Jews with Nazis in the course of polite conversation and finds his view unchallenged; the newspaper comment pages filled with bile about Muslims; the Muslim politician who says all Jews must die; the Top Gear presenters’ “gags” about Asians; the Rev’d Stephen Sizer opining: “Show me evidence Israel wasn’t behind 9/11″; the Labour Party’s anti-immigrant policies; the fact that not a single national newspaper editor (did you see all those black faces at the Leveson Inquiry?) or member of the Metropolitan Police leadershsip team is anything other than a white non-Jew/ non- Muslim / non-Hindu / non-Sikh; and we will show you everthing that is not racism.
If you want real racists, you have to look at the football fans on the Paris Metro. Now let’s all attack them…
