Call It Out – Are Religious Discrimination and Religious Bigotry not a form of Racism?...
I am a lifelong Celtic supporter ( 69 years) to be precise. For some reason, I have only recently stumbled on your website, The Celtic Star. The reason for this is probably the fact that I never belie
thecelticstar.com
Another brilliant article WC and one that raises many questions that are still relevant today.
This question about bigotry, racism and religion regarding celtic and serco scum is one that in fairness I don't believe will ever go away and sadly it is one where the bitterness and hatred will stem from Ireland itself.
I would be a Catholic celtic supporter from Ireland, and detest serco scum with a passion along with the crown and the British establishment in general. I may be a Catholic but that don't make me a huge fan of the Catholic Church for all it's wrong doings of the past especially within Ireland. Nor would I ever hold a religion that is given to you as a baby against anyone in general.
Saying that I don't hate serco scum for being a proddy club more so for what the scum stand for and glorify.
The 2 most hated symbols in my life are those of the serco scum Jersey and the poppy, the Jersey for what it represents and stands for and I chose to look upon the poppy as a symbol of the British army and empire in general even though others may disagree.
So would I take offence to seeing either of them in the Republic, better believe I would. The way I look at it is there are plenty of places you can go with these 2 symbols of bitterness and hate but the Republic of Ireland isn't one or should never be one of those places.
If that in tune makes me also a bigot and a racist for having such beliefs then a bigot and a racist I shall die as they will never change.
I once had a disagreement with a Celtic friend in Dublin who will always claim celtic is an Irish club, I will claim it is a Scottish club built on Irish heritage. I would never claim celtic is a Catholic club even though much of our support stems from Catholic and Irish roots.
Also I do believe football should be a neutral area but in Glasgow and the North of lreland this seems of never going to be the case. I am sure there are good people who follow serco scum but I have never met 1 or have any desire to ever meet 1 either.
As proud as I would be to see the tricolour flying proudly within celtic Park, I would also place criticism upon Celtic for not promoting how much they have done for producing players for the Scottish national team, more so than any other in recent times, maybe this is an area we should consider promoting more so but very hard to with the corrupt bastards within the Scottish FA.
I will always support Ireland before Scotland weather it be football or rugby and will always support whoever England are playing no matter what. The same way I will never have respect for a HUN bastard who's thick zombie arrogant attitude is to glorify the death of Irish Catholics, they can all fuck off to hell
