Raheem Sterling racism: How fan hostility, not cowardice, can help fight abuse in UK

Racism, such as that allegedly experienced by the Man City star at Chelsea, happens because few have the guts to speak up - it's time to change that

I can’t write about Raheem Sterling and the alleged racist abuse to which he has been subjected from the perspective of a black person. And I don’t know what it is like to be racially abused, whether consciously or subconsciously. I cannot live that experience so why should you read about how I see it?

I know it’s wrong, that goes without saying. But adding another white voice to it is not going to achieve anything new.
