https://www.skysports.com/football/story-telling/11670/13230203/how-arsenal-became-woven-into-black-identity-and-culture

A new book called Black Arsenal tells Nick Wright about Arsenal's unique connection with Black identity and the players who helped to shape it

According to co-editor Clive Nwonka, it highlights the unique Black connection that inspired the project.

"I'm not convinced you could write a book like this about any other club in world football," Nwonka tells Sky Sports.

"I think Arsenal is the only club where you can evidence its Black connection beyond singular players."

Black Arsenal showcases that connection in illuminating style, outlining the club’s affinity with Black identity, rooted in post-war migration from the West Indies to north London, with the help of contributions from players, fans, journalists, academics and musicians.

"It is about how it influences society, culture, politics, fashion, music," adds Nwonka. "The book really tries to attend to those things as well as the players themselves."

"People often ask me if I think Arsenal, as a club, cultivate this kind of Black identity and I always say not really. Of course, they recognise it now and they do things to harness it..."

Nwonka uses the example of this season's kit, made by adidas and designed by Foday Dumbuya,who helped cultivate the club's large African fanbase.

"But Black Arsenal has always been about how Black people move to Arsenal, rather than Arsenal moving to Black people," continues Nwonka. "I think we often flip and confuse it.

"I think the Black connection is something you need to acknowledge and appreciate, but it’s also something you can give space to because it's always going to be there, to the point where you don't even really notice it.

"When you go to the Emirates Stadium as a Black person, you're not consciously aware that you’re in a stadium with a lot of Black people who you wouldn’t normally see at games or sporting events elsewhere."

Because “empowering black voices” only reminded everyone that black people are 98% worthless retards. Now every other race is sick of them.

When did Sky fall for the capitalising black meme?

Also Arselel were never a bLACK club until the media started memeing them as such. Like most bong teams they had no black players till the 70s, never had a black manager, the area they play in is mostly T*rkish. There's unironically more of a case for Lelsea being a "black" club

Also Ian Wright is half-Syrian

From what I see the crowd is still mostly white and there's probably as many jeets and pakis as there are blacks

There's an entire book about how Arsenal are basically the Black club in England and how it's their fundamental culture
>>
>>144958143
I'd say Crystal Palace is even more representative of black footballers.
And honestly that's not a bad thing. Everyone rips on the black people for being lazy and undiscplined but if you play in a PL club that means you're anything but. Playing in upper echelons of football is equal to excellence so it's nice that lots of people from impoverished households can make bank for themselves

billions of indians support united all because of that front row of turbaned gentleman behind Fergie in the 90s and early 2000s

id say chelsea has the most, player wise
but this is more about the fanbase
dont think any race is inherently lazy, its more about the culture of the country and how your family raised you.

Right now they do, yeah, because Eghbali is focused on amassing as many ngubus as humanly possible. But Chelsea has never struck me as a black man's club, definitely not more than Crystal Palace for example

One thing that stood out for me when my team were last in the Premier League (a few years ago now) was that every team's away following was almost entirely white. Tottenham, Palace, Man United, Sunderland, Villa, etc, all of them had 3,000 or so away fans at our ground and it was a sea of English faces. The only team that had a truly 'diverse' set of fans, and a lot of black and Asian supporters, was Arsenal.

Liverpool has had blacks living there for hundreds of years , longer than any other part of the Uk. You have no clue what you are talking about. Do some research on Toxteth

I know exactly what I'm talking about because my family have lived here for 100s of years you dumb yank cunt.

A handful of blacks living in an enclave in Toxteth with uni students is not the same as them having a significant impact on the culture of the city or football clubs
