’something we all need to be reading … an absolutely brilliant book … a great read for all of us’ Zoe Ball, BBC Radio 2
‘an absolutely terrific book’ Susanna Reid, Good Morning Britain
‘[John Barnes is] such a clear thinker … well worth reading’ Richard Madeley, Good Morning Britain
‘this book feels uncomfortable, but important, too … Passionate, confrontational stuff’ The Observer
An eloquent and thought-provoking book on racism and prejudice by the Liverpool and England football legend John Barnes.
John Barnes spent the first dozen years of his life in Jamaica before moving to the UK with his family in 1975. Six years later he was a professional footballer, distinguishing himself for Watford, Liverpool and England, and in the process becoming this country’s most prominent black player.
Barnes is now an articulate and captivating social commentator on a broad range of issues, and in The Uncomfortable Truth About Racism he tackles head-on the issues surrounding prejudice with his trademark intelligence and authority.
By vividly evoking his personal experiences, and holding a mirror to this country’s past, present and future, Barnes provides a powerful and moving testimony. The Uncomfortable Truth About Racism will help to inform and advance the global conversation around society’s ongoing battle with the awful stain of prejudice

“The most racist person in the world is an old black man.”

lisiva5995 I don’t even have to guess your colour from you comment.. Says it all 😂 😂
A book on racism from a black person’s own lived experience, and you hit out with that quote… Shock horror lol

@lisiva5995 pretty sure Chris Rock hasn’t met you though, so it’s 100% plausible he was wrong.

The book about a black person’s experience in 1975. I am sure that he faced racism.
I agree that ‘lisiva5995′ was insensitive to choose to quote him in this specific case. But it is not a crime or even a sign or racism to be insensitive.
I find humor and insight in Chris Rock’s quote, because racism by definition is not black people good - white bad. It is a challenge that humanity as a whole face. Black people have to be wary of portraying themselves as martyrs, while white people face the challenge of diminishing the issue or face danger of self-flagellating. All people are in danger of being racist.
For me racism is either:
A) expecting privileges/ exclusive rights / attention (anything even if it is a slice of bread) because you are X color
B) not having a right to something / anything because you are X color

from a black man living in a multi million pound mansion in a sport where half the players are black and most of the owners are foreign. Like the cricket player that said evreybody was racist but he was the racist.great player in 70s im sure was bullied then but is trying to just spread division know.

@clownloach
Utterly depressing bigoted response from yet another tiresome rightwing edgelord.
I’m guessing that you refuse to acknowledge racism in sport, in all its forms.
Which means you’re either thick as sh1t, or you have an interest in keeping people of colour down.
Either way, you’re wrong and will be proved so.

@tenbenson
69.2 per cent of Premier League players are foreigners 33 per cent of players on show on the opening day this season came from BAME backgrounds.In 2021 about 14% of the UK population was from an ethnic minority background,FACTS Which means you’re either thick as sh1t, or you dont want to listen and your happy to stay being ignorant and a bigot.can there be racists’among them yes will there be probably yes will there be rapists amongst them yes from what background all
