The Race Relations Industry Epitomised
The England Women's football team celebrate success in the Euros, whilst their own country's media lament them for being too white.
There are many a social issues to choose from that can be talked about on media like the BBC nowadays. Take your pick; a crashing economy, substance abuse, rise in homelessness, cost of living, weak borders, a falling Government, etc. However it is the DEI agenda that attracts the BBC’s primetime seemingly everyday, no matter what channel you turn to: BBC News or BBC Sport. The British Broadcasting Corporation, a culturally left-liberal media outlet, never far from controversy in its history, are essentially England’s CNN.
Instead of taking the opportunity to applaud the success of her country during a major tournament, Eilidh Barbour, among others, took the opportunity to instead address her disgust at the fact that a North-Western European country just 1,000 miles south-east of polar Iceland, dare have birthed so many white people.
[Barbour:] All starting eleven players and the five substitutes that came on to the pitch were all white. And that does point towards a lack of diversity in the women's game in England.
A traditionally and majority-white country producing sports teams that contain majority-white players should not be a shock, and I highly doubt that Barbour has these same qualms when discussing the ‘diversity’ amongst the Ghanian teams, or when an all-black athletics team lace up their spikes. It should be a given that you judge an athlete based on their ability and character, and not their skin. The BBC, like CNN, do the exact thing they claim to be against: Judging based on skin colour and not by character, the polar opposite of the messages of the late-great Martin Luther King Jr
Debra Nelson from ‘Football Beyond Borders’, responded to Barbour’s thoughts, saying:
You need to feel like you can see yourself in order for them to be a role model. If someone doesn't have the same lived experiences of you, isn't of the same background of you … How can they then be your role model?
Using her logic, only ‘black’ people can view Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Lewis Hamilton, Usain Bolt, Jessica Ennis, etc, as role models, and only ‘white’ people can view Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Rafael Nadal, Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, etc, as role models. What a depressing way to look at our world. These people see and judge race in every aspect of their lives, they are the exact people they claim to hate.
Anita Asante, an ex-England player, also did her best to stoke racial division in the same country she apparently took pride in representing on an international level:
Visibility matters. I've been lucky enough to have played with my role models – Rachel Yankey, Mary Phillip to name a few – (and) play under a black manager for England.
The manager she was referring to was Hope Powell, who oversaw the team from 1998 to 2013, with 66 appearances and 35 goals during her 15-year international career. Of course, Asante didn’t mention Powell’s career/success when referencing her, but just her skin colour, akin to the reasons given for appointing Ketanji Brown Jackson to the US Supreme Court.
The BBC have merely proved that the entire aim of the race relations industry, aside from milking every drop of money out of self-hating white liberals, is not about equality at all. Preferential treatment for those of the BAME (Black & Minority Ethnic) ‘community’, and specifically it seems, for those of African-American origin. Of course, this movement gets to define what an ethnic minority actually is, for example, Jews are not involved in this, despite being amongst the smallest ethnic populations in the Western world. Jews are seemingly now classed as ‘white’, and don’t be surprised if Asians are grouped into the same category in the future as well - companies like the BBC are colourblind and only see people in black and white, as if they see the world through the perspective of a 20th century camera.
The same BBC don’t throw their hands in the air when Team GB step out at the Olympics with almost all-black competitors, and rightfully so, they (Team GB) should be judged on their athletic prowess and not their skin colour, but the same standards should be held for every team - do not complain when a majority-white country produces a majority-white sports team. The argument put forward by Barbour is similar to an MI6 recruitment officer with only MI6 officers to choose from for a promotion, but he then decides to choose a random Thames Valley Police graffiti patrol officer just because he wants someone different, not because he wants the top candidate. If you are in a majority-white country, the chances are that the best picks will usually be white, and the same goes if you went to an African country, your best picks would be akin to the MI6 officers.
Brits are forced to pay £159 poll tax simply to be able to watch TV, and this is what they get: Race baiting, and division, instead of actual analysis.
People who turn on Sky Sports, BBC Sports, ITV Sport, etc, turn on those channels for sport, not for politics or virtue signalling. As has been said before, sport and politics do not mix, unless it’s for Ukraine or African-Americans.
The BBC’s newly released ‘rich list’ shows self-hating white but self-proclaimed black presenter Gary Lineker, with the highest salary of £1.35M for reading scripts whilst staring into a camera like a soulless robot. The other ten top earners were Zoe Ball (£980,000), Alan Shearer (£450,000), Steve Wright (£450,000), Steven Nolan (£415,000), Fiona Bruce (£410,000), Huw Edwards (£410,000), Vanessa Feltz (£400,000), Scott Mills (£400,000), Greg James (£390,000) and Ken Bruce (£385,000).
Where is the diversity there?
The BBC are an organisation that smear critics, whilst remaining the self-hating white liberal propaganda group that they’ve always been.
