-Kaplan- 410 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I've heard people (Arsenal fans) say Chelsea have some sort of history with skinheads, racism over the years? Can any long-time chelsea supporter shed some more light on this, thanks? After Paul Canoville joined us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I've heard people (Arsenal fans) say Chelsea have some sort of history with skinheads, racism over the years? Can any long-time chelsea supporter shed some more light on this, thanks? After Paul Canoville joined us.I think skinhead is synonymous with white supremacist in America, but in the UK for extended periods of time Skinheads were just kids who wore a certain type of clothes, and listened to music(originally by, or from, the West Indies). A lot of the people in this counterculture were Black and mixed. This "anti establishment" culture was taken by a lot of white supremacist, but also antifa, groups as well. There isn't a club around that didnt have supporters, in some form or fashion, who was not following this subculture in one way or another.

After Paul Canoville joined us.A lot of people like to say that the National Front was a Chelsea thing and attribute that racist point to us, but it isn't the case at all. I know the NF leafleted some Chelsea games, but they did many other teams as well. There target audience was football fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,317 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Is there so little serious crime in Britain now that the police have time to divert serious resources to track down a group of people simply for being repugnant in public ? What a pity they didn't expend this kind of diligent energy in pursuing the Rotherham rapists. Or the corporate media reporting this.... http://swns.com/news/mum-of-two-hounded-out-of-her-flat-for-being-white-after-racist-yobs-daub-graffiti-on-door-and-post-notes-telling-her-this-flat-is-for-blacks-only-64805/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 What happens here is that some people are potty.You just can't stop it.When I was 12-13 I read somewhere in a paper "keep Britain white graffiti in streets of London". I could n't believe. I said "how ? is that possible in England, after world war II ?". But it is possible, given that so much time has elapsed and so many things have been said.The somewhat stranger thing is that the other end of the political spectrum seldom get involved, if ever.What happens here is this: Football is a middle class activity. The lefties dislike it.When I was in college in 1976 I said one day "I 'm going to watch Arsenal v. Leeds" -Leeds had the good team then. When some leftists heard it they said to me "your habits are not relevent to the working class struggle !" So that's what happens. The leftists hate football and so only the other lot are observed in the role of troublemakers.Thatcher taught them a sharp lesson.Everybody should do the same.

cosmicway 1,333 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 We don't have clashes between the two you see (rather fortunate).In Athens all the cinema theatres of Stadiou street are gone by fires started by the lefties.The apparent paradox here is that we have only one set of extremists at work and not two, it's not their existence in nature.

Fulham Broadway 17,317 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 This thread is called the Paris Metro Incident. If we had a thread for every similar incident at football, we would need 6 forums the size of Talkchelsea, every week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
