If I were Black I suspect it would irritate somewhat that the non issue is brought up every time my name is mentioned.

There will always be Racism unless we drop the whole Black/White/Red/Green issue and just admit that we are all people.

"Liked" this, but also thought it needed a "Bump".

To be fair to Campbell, it does look like they've just dragged those quotes up from a past interview. They certainly don't indicate that Campbell is reacting to Powell's sacking.
In isolation, his comments about numbers of black managers in general have validity, but it's a bit lame of the journalist to drag out the same old cliches.

Outside of Charlton, the only significance people see is Chrissy's colour. I had to put a few colleagues right yesterday at work. We are not upset because he is black - we are upset because he is Sir Chrissy Powell, we love him and he is a Charlton legend. He could be any colour and that fact would be unchanged.
