responsibility for 'White Lives Matter' banner and won't apologise



Jake Hepple claims he organised the stunt that saw a plane fly the banner over the Etihad on Monday during Man City's clash with Burnley

"It's now apparently racist to say white lives matter."

I agree with him.

BLMs tactic to divide races is working

And the mainspring idiots cant see it.

Fly black matters banner would be giving him knighthood! But white lives is racist? In what world is saying white matters is racist and saying black matters is not? It's now becoming a joke to be white perhaps we need to go to tanning salon so we all look the same ....

Ofcourse its racist to say white lives matter

It's only black lives that matter

Every white person is just a horrid racist

Probably but will claim discrimination as I am of an ethnic group ...

In fairness the bloke is a racist, so not convinced his intentions were honourable. I’ve seen some horrendous comments from him in the past (assuming they are real).

But this is the problem you get when you allow political statements on football shirts and enforce political agendas on a National sport. Black lives matter as a statement is fine, black lives matter as an organisation is a remarkably idiotic thing to have emblazoned on football shirts.

They are a group that have very little regard for black lives and are a puppet for the Democratic Party that have a vested interest in keeping alive a race issue that is at its lowest point probably in all of history.

what exactly would constitute honourable intentions ?

Something that does not feel like it is an antagonistic reaction than a pro active attempt to improve white lives. Context is important. Given who he is I highly doubt he has done this for anything other than the reaction he is getting.

Whilst the premise of the literal slogan is of course correct and so absolutely sympathise with that. It’s tough to attribute a wholesome motivation behind it once looking into the man behind it, who does seem to be a bit of a vile racist, and I don’t throw that word around lightly.

everything that's not of a certain narrative is being seen as antagonistic though.. people were queueing up last night to criticise this before they knew who was responsible.. and its all being reported as if had there been fans in the grounds you would be able to hear a pin drop during this knee thing..

It is antagonistic though let’s be real here. That banner wouldn’t exist if Black Lives Matter didn’t. Some of the racist comments this guy has made are terrible.

But I completely disagree with Black Lives Matter too. So I can’t disavow Black Lives Matter and yet support White Lives Matter, that would make me a hypocrite. Both are completely inappropriate. The media’s reaction to it is a joke though, that I agree with. Either both are wrong or both are fine - can’t have it both ways.

I’m a firm believer in All Lives Matter, it’s crazy it has to be a slogan rather than just common decency but that’s the world we live in where everything needs to be hashtag worthy.

No offence committed say police

im not defending the man... the message ? sort of see the hypocrisy but when every newspaper and every TV prog is pumping one thing out and are completely shutting down any and all opposition your going to get pushback somewhere .. and any push back is then going to be seen as antagonistic. and on that note attacking war memorials ?

Yep, always going to happen when things get politicised. As I said context is important for me and I don’t believe that message was anything more than an attempt to antagonise - a stance I fully understand considering the shameful coverage of the media and public figures, but I am not going to pretend it was flown for genuine reasons and compassion.

I quite like the fact that the opposition to Black Lives Matter often has a more considered approach which makes the other side look like a bunch of emotional loons. Not sure this does “the cause” any good really.

But the main point is the way the media have attacked it. Shows the bias there so suppose it served a purpose in that respect but it never needed confirming surely.
