You mean early 2000s, yes?
That was just tribute racism.
The 21st century so far has basically been just a rehash of stuff that was around in the latter half of the 20th as everyone has run out of ideas. Probably started in the 90s actually.
Old fashioned, full-on, don't-give-a-****-no-attempt-to-hide-it racism of the 70s/80s is what I'm talking about.
Monkey noises,banana throwing,the automatic booing of every black player when red out over the tannoy (or more monkey noises) the particularly foul "lick my boots" chant I'm sure we all wish we didn't remember.
That kind of shite.
Chelsea, West ham & Millwall were the recruitment centres for the NF/BM/BNP back then in the South. In the North it was definitely Leeds. Midlands mostly the Brummagem clubs.
That photo of Farage with Martin Webster that's been doing the rounds is a prime example. Farage uses shorthand to suggest racism to those with open ears. Webster & his cronies were open about wanting mass repatriation (of virtually everyone)
I got within 10 feet of the fat Brummie kunt once, with a pickaxe handle, before 3 coppers dragged me to the ground. The black maria trip out of Ladywood afterwards is one of my less pleasant youthful memories.
