To be precise, that post did not refer to Rio's views on racism

It referred to Rio's views on how Kick It Out operates, and suggested that his objections are not tenable with inciting fans. You're free to agree or disagree with Chalk Hill Bitter about that, but by ratcheting it up to a post like yours above merely contributes to an atmosphere where any discussion of race is taboo. This will not help eradicate racism, just cause it to bubble under the surface of social discourse.

What I'm saying is debate the issues; don't just call people racists and presume you've won the argument. I work in the field of equality and I can tell you that labelling people you perceive to hold the wrong opinion without having a frank discussion is not the way to change anything.
