When will this happen in Africa, someone stepping down admitting his mistakes in a public office.




My thoughts exactly.

I think it’s unfair for him to have been asked to resign. What is the difference be ‘people of colour’ used in the US without racial connotation and colored people.

There is no single sense in what you're saying bros,the UK is not an all white country
UK is not an all white country because of the black slaves brought there hundreds of years ago. Without slavery the UK is an all white country.
You think if Nigeria/Africa was alright those Blacks will stay and not come back?

Infact tell me one top black manager you know

Mind you I'm not sure there are Asian managers in epl but you won't find Chinese crying expecting to be made boss simply for their skin color
It’s the same in the USA..Asians are the most brilliant and hardest workers in Ivy League schools even though they are also not finding it easy..but they are goal driven so much so that they don’t even have to stop and complain..little wonder they are one of the most successful race in America. The Asian culture believes that you must work for what you want, those guys work ethic is legendary over the centuries.

Clarke said he was "deeply saddened" for the offence he had caused by using the term "coloured footballers".

He prompted further criticism when referring to gay players making a "life choice" and a coach telling him young female players did not like having the ball hit hard at them.

He also said there were "a lot more South Asians than there are Afro-Caribbeans" in the FA's IT department because "they have different career interests".

"We can confirm that Greg Clarke has stepped down from his role as our chairman," said an FA statement.

HYPOCRITES everywhere!
Is "Black" or even "White" not a Color? If so, what is wrong in calling Black/White players, Colored Players?

Is being GAY not a Choice of Lifestyle (like sleeping with people of same gender as your self!)? So, what is wrong is saying it as it is, that it is a 'Life Choice; which anyone is entitled to make?

Is it not a fact that Asians have smaller physical sizes and as such, prefer to engage in less physically-demanding work?
Is it not a fact that Asians (especially Indians and Chinese) dominate the I.T Profession, all over the world?
What is wring in pointing out the 'obvious'?

Is it not a fact that females dont like Balls being hit hard at them? Do we not even see it in the Stadiums and football pitches where girls dodge the small when it is coming too hard at them?
Is it not just a matter of natural physiology or can anyone compare the Speed and physicality of Male Football with that of Female Football?

All these Political correctness sef. Man cant speak his mind again, simps will be crawling all over. undecided

CNN and others left work media has been calling black people "people of colour" and no one has ever accused CNN, BBC and other left media of racism.

Now can someone with a free mind tell me the difference between "people of colour" and "Coloured players"?

Very soon the world would run out of adjectives or names to call Africans....... Because no matter what name you call Africans it is always considered racist.

You call them blacks........... Racist
You call them negros........... Racist
You call them niggaz............ Racist
You call them Africans.......... racist
You call them dark.................. Racist
You call them brown................ Racist
You call them people of color....... Racist
You call them pale skin................ Racist
You call them Nigerians.......... Racist

Please can someone tell me what name that you will call a black man, that is not considered a racist
Infact our very own nature as black men is racism

You used a black man as a slave in a film,... And they called you a racist.

Then you decide to used a black man as a slave master or master ........ And they accused you of stereotype.

As a whiteman, it is very hard now adays to speak on issue of black men, because every words you used is considered racist including calling a black mans name.



A white man simply chooses to be call a white man. Case close........ He doesn't disturb his already occupied mind with nonesense topic such as racism

It is not the name that is the problem it is the CONTEXT and USAGE.

this is one of the problems you have because you haven't realized that to get a top job you have to be given the opportunity... how many black coaches have been given the opportunity to coach a top team... at least a Nigerian coach is currently doing well in Finland.
How many Asians have been given opportunity to coach top team?

Top team is not a testing ground, it's for tested and trusted managers which I personally without sentiment believe there's currently no Asian or black manager that can do top job


If you think any exist, please mention there name

“Football Association chairman Greg Clarke has resigned over the "unacceptable" language he used when referring to black players.

Clarke said he was "deeply saddened" for the offence he had caused by using the term "coloured footballers".


What is your skin color?
Now-a-days, white people cannot get their message across unless they use negative words to define people.


For example, Donald J. Trump, the US president called black countries shithole nations upon resuming office in 2016.

And on February 2, 2018 Tony Henry—a director of player recruitment at English premier league [ West Ham United] was suspended after a report surfaced in which he said club should no longer bring west African players to the team because African players have bad attitudes.

I want to know why is this so common?

I write to argue that systematic divisions among black people is the culprit.
Why?
Growing up as a child, I used to admire two clubs in Nigeria: stationary stores football club of Lagos and Rangers International football club of Enugu, Anambra State. Every year, these two clubs would meet at the finals for a chance to win Nigeria top club trophy. They were just the best. On Saturdays, Rival supporters would dance, walk and promise victory for their side.

Boy, I used to love it. Because I could not afford to buy tickets to go to the match in person, I would carry small radio with me all the time to listen to commentaries.

Without a doubt, I used to think—twenty years down the road, Nigeria would have professional league which Nigerian players can play for and earn themselves good money and not worry about traveling abroad to look for similar jobs.


But I was wrong. Now, twenty years have long passed and Nigeria still does not have competitive football teams that pay as much as those of European teams.

As a result, Nigerian players who seek good paying teams to play for in overseas are now being subject to all forms of abuse.
It should not be this way. But it is because Nigerians are too divisive to work together.

That is why the Dems believe they own the black votes, because they understood the art of pampering the black communities. But it’s all superficial, they make them believe they care about them but it doesn’t translate to anything in their communities.

Fooolish man. Resigning because you couldn't keep up with fickle emotional people and their virtue signaling.

He just bowed to virtue signal mobs, and there is nothing courageous about what he did. These people keep changing words and language to suit their narratives and consequently control our lives...
He should have his resignation speech ready for his next job because he is sure to misgender someone soon
