Chelsea fans “whiter than white”, get a slap on the wrist

I was surprised to hear that some Chelsea fans were caught on camera singing racist songs and stopping a black man from getting on a train, yet they received suspended sentences?

Why does this kind of complete hypocrisy exist in predominantly white societies that allows white people to avoid retribution or get off with crimes they are clearly guilty of? I’m certain that under similar circumstances, a black person would have either:

  • Been institutionalised
  • Been convicted of a crime with no suspended sentence

I’m getting sick of black people always being the victim of white institutional systems, which work well for white people but poorly for people who are not white.  If multiculturalism is really going to work, it can’t just mean that people who are not white can represent your countries national sports teams, have good jobs and material wealth. A principal part in having a fair society is that we all have equal rights to justice. Justice shouldn’t be something black people should continually have to fight for, it should be like the air we breathe – it just is there, we take it for granted – we don’t want to have to be made to frantically grasp for it.
