I wrote about the racism black players suffered from around the 1970’s
onwards.
I could have just wrote “RIP Cyrille” and posted a video of some of the
goals he scored, but I felt I had to share the racism he had to go through for
just playing a sport at the highest level.
Listen to this short clip.
In this next video you can hear former England player and TV presenter Gary Lineker mentioning what he saw at that time. Dion Dublin, a former professional footballer, reacts to what Lineker said live on TV.
See short clip
In the facebook post I wrote 3 days ago I also said
"Why Racism still happens in 2018 is a mystery."
Some people may have thought I was exaggerating as they may not see
racism or live among openly racist people, but just as with my other posts, confirmation
came days later.
I do want to stress that, I could have just talked about Cyrille Regis’
talent and goals he scored but I felt to share the racism that many people did
not know he suffered.

Now on the 20th January 2018 the internet is buzzing with
the racist videos posted by Harley Barber.
You can hear what she says in this video.
After listening to what Cyrille had to say and then what Harley Barber
had to say...
Why is there still racism in 2018?
