Plane carrying racist banner flies over Manchester City's Etihad Stadium at the start of an English Premier League match against Burnley

“I’m ashamed and embarrassed,” said Mee, who added that the incident “definitely had a massive impact on us” as the Burnley went on to a 5-0 defeat.

Condemnation was quick to arrive, firstly on social media and then from Burnley in a statement issued at halftime in which the club strongly condemned what it deemed an “offensive banner.” “This, in no way, represents what Burnley Football Club stands for,” the statement read, “and we will work fully with the authorities to identify those responsible and issue lifetime bans.”

“We apologise unreservedly,” Burnley said, “to the Premier League, to Manchester City and to all those helping to promote Black Lives Matter.” When the Premier League season resumed last week, “Black Lives Matter” replaced player names on the backs of shirts for the first 12 matches in support of a movement that has gained popularity worldwide since the killing of George Floyd in the United States last month.Players, coaches and match officials have taken a knee for around 10 seconds before kickoff in the dozen matches.“It’s not what we are about at all, and it’s missed the point of the whole thing, what we’re trying to achieve, to do.

If the banner 'White Live Matter' is racist, then by your logic so is the 'Black Lives Matter' one too. Really really stupid take and an extreme anti White narrative.

That banner isn't racist. That's just your opinion. 'News'... Right....

How is that racist? You're more racist for suggestiing such nonsense.

'Racist' Does this read 'Black Lives Don't Matter'? Does it read 'White Lives Matter More Than Black Lives'? Are you suggesting that 'White Lives do NOT matter'? Or that 'Black Lives matter more than White'? What's 'Racist' about this? WhiteStrike WeWereNeverAsked

Racist?

How is that racist 😂

Why is that racist ?

The Racist Theodore Roosevelt Statue Is Coming DownLast night, I walked by the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and noticed the statue of Theodore Roosevelt was surrounded by police barriers, with several NYPD vans parked in the vicinity. It seems the city wanted to protect the statue, whose celebration of racism and colonialism has sparked protest and demands it come down. But those taxpayer dollars will be wasted no more: on Sunday, the museum announced they’d be removing the statue. When is this racists statue coming down?
