Elderly White Men

Avenged7Fold · 12 Dec 2016 at 15:18

So back to the main topic:

How many of you were genuinely offended by it?

Also if you were offended, how old and how white are you?

You may use a year and Dulux colour chart name

I personally am not offended but i am young-ish and roughly Mexican Mosaic 2, although in the summer i can go as dark as nutmeg cluster 1.*

**monitor colour not balanced

better?

I'm daffodil white because my grandad was from the vallies
Not offended by truth, call a spade a flat metal digging tool for use with a foot and 2 hands, I say.

No one was offended. If anyone white man was, get over it. You're a man and you're white, you've already made more progress then most will in there lives by default xD

OK, ignoring the irony of a bunch of elderly white men complaining about a bunch of elderly white men ruining football and whether it's right or not to discriminate against people because of their age, gender or ethnicity. Can someone tell me what these reforms the FA needs are? What's stopping them from happening right now? How government getting involved is going to solve the problem?

I can't help feeling that fundamentally this is about the England national football side being utter dog crap for the last few tournaments.

So old when they were at school, there was no history class, and so white they get sunburn standing in front of the TV.

Boom. *drop mic*, or something.

Hmmm that is pretty old but can you give me your whiteness in a colour that i can look up online and possibly view a virtual living room or bedroom with?

Uther · 12 Dec 2016 at 15:42

I'm not offended at all, just get some old black men in there to even things up a bit.

I was going to invent a clever colour like "White Privilege", but then I looked on the Dulux colour wheel and opted for "Antique White", just about fits.

I think your reply of the shade was far more clever for a thread about old white people

Antique White - lol i gotta go look that up now

Champagne ice. Enjoy your new Alpha room.

Thompson, always talking about the liberal media obvious bias when his favourite outlets are also quoting him verbatim. Like clockwork mate.

Thank you, i would have pegged you closer to an antique white but i guess you cant always judge a cover by its book

I'm now wondering if the entirety of the scandals which have centred on FIFA over the last few years could be adequately explained using only names of paint.

Why does the BBC think this is appropriate? I guarantee that if someone said "young black men" or "middle aged chinese women" were to blame for something, the BBC would be foaming at the bit to make this an issue of racism. The person saying it would be taking a hot poker up their backside until they apologised for being an evil racist bigot.

Awww bless. Are you feeling offended?

It's starting to look that way. Maybe a dulux colour pad thread is required. The thread solely about skin colour but without wiggle room to be offensive to another person, directly or indirectly.

So the BBC quoting people is the BBCs issue?

The Football Association is outdated, held back by "elderly white men" and unable to counter the power of the Premier League, say five former executives of the governing body.

Indeed. I'm also confused.

What's the problem again?

What are my "favourite outlets" and what proportion of my posts talk about the liberal media? I think you've over extended yourself with this post.

Avenged7Fold · 12 Dec 2016 at 16:21

So wait... this whole thread is about is how five former executives of the FA describe the committee members and its the bbc we are mad at because...??

Not offended, no. Irritated that the BBC has become so pathetically anti-British? Yes.

But truth be told, I'm not going to protest too loudly. The liberal media is pushing the West further and further towards right-wing nationalism. Long may they continue to bite the hand that feeds them.
