Sorry if this has been mentioned or posted elsewhere but a section of Leeds fans lived up to their classy reputation on Friday at QPR.

Outrage as Leeds fans boo father of stabbed teen’s half-time talk

Kiyan Prince, 15, was murdered trying to break up a fight outside his north London school in May 2006

Congratulations to the other Leeds fans who condemned it, but not sure about their excuse of the other Leeds fans didn't know what was going on, could be but maybe a black guy with a microphone in the middle of the pitch doesn't need context.
 
No surprise from Leeds, they have a long history of embarrassing behaviour.
Remember a load of them dressing in ku Klux Klan outfits at Bournemouth?
I had the pleasure of attending some Leeds games in the late 80's , going in the Gelderd end.
Some of the songs were incredibly racist, and it wasn't a small minority singing.

What are the Leeds fans doing.? Why are they doing it? What was the excuse from the other Leeds fans? Why does the father need a context for some Leeds fans not to boo him?

So, what does a black bloke holding a microphone have to do with anything? I'm not condoning the Leeds fans. Just can't see why they would be able to work out what was going on, just by a black guy holding a microphone in the middle of the pitch. Your comment could actually be construed as more racist than the Leeds fans.

You forget that most Boro fans have seen racist behaviour from Leeds fans over the years, it didn't magically stop when the premiership started up in 93. We are not innocent of it, and our own house needs to be in order sometimes but they are a whole another level. To throw your question back at you. "So, what does a black bloke holding a microphone have to do with anything? Ok, Why booo him? It wasn't like their end was really full and it was bouncing, and any announcements were being drowned out if you have seen the photos in social media it was half empty, ithey gave them only 1900 tickets for the upper and lower tier and because of the drubing they were getting, had reverted to as quiet a church mouse mode, so those that hadn't gone to drown their sorrows at half time and throw beer around, would be able to hear any commentary over the tannoy, it's certainly loud enough at Loftus Road. So why do you think they specifically booed him? Considering they could hear everything being said.
And don't forget the standardised booing and jeering now of anything to do with BLM and taking the knee, easy for some poor old Leeds fans to wrongly associate them together, as it is unfortunately for a lot of fans of most clubs.

I forgot to say I was there in 89 on the day of the Hillsborough Scandal, maybe Boro fans should have booed the Scousers when we got told at half time of what was unfolding.

I didn't forget anything. Your statement that a black guy holding a microphone on a pitch is context enough. How? That could sound pretty racist to many. What did you mean by it?
 
Read what I said, it's pretty clear. If you disagree say why rather than getting me to say more, let's have your viewpoint on why I am Racist and the Leeds fans arent.

It isn't clear. Your final statement was that a black guy with a microphone in the middle of the pitch doesn't need context. Why? What does a black guy in the middle of the pitch with a microphone represent to you?

Do yourself a favour read the link, read what the Leeds supporters trust said, then maybe the use of my words might not be such a puzzle to you. So let's get down to your attitude, considering everything you have asked about is in previous posts, I get a feeling your looking for a smoking gun answer. If you want to prove I'm the racist then you need to elaborate on your attitude more to give me enough rope.

I'm not saying you're racist at all and my post has nothing to do with your link. I'm just questioning your statement. Maybe you should also.

You seem to be getting very aggressive with statements like let's get down to my attitude. All I'm asking is why you think purely the sight of a black guy on a microphone should be understood I think you need to start thinking about where your attitude and thinking comes from and why you made the statement. Think about your thinking. Just saying.
