Wolf Island Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 If Palmer stays beyond the transfer window I think the words to his chant must change. I know the song is sung with good intent, but sadly it reinforces racial stereotypes, tropes and fears about men of colour. No doubt I will get a few negative emojiis or ‘snowflake’ jibes for this post but hoping some will also like and take action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 This has got to be a joke, surely. The context of the chant is that he’s so popular you’d allow him to ‘charm’ your dearly beloved and you wouldn’t hold it against him. What on earth does that have to do with the colour of his skin? It’s this sort of shit stirring that actually detracts from the fight against actual racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This debate has been done to death, but it does seem to me that the people who throw the snowflake jibe around are usually getting just as offended as the said snowflake, perhaps because their world view is being challenged and they are uncomfortable with it? personally I try and listen to opposing views as sometimes I might just learn something I don’t know. And that goes for all sides of the argument. With respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, all good, but on topic the Kasey Palmer chant is not racist in any way, shape or form and does not reinforce any racial stereotype whatsoever, end of discussion.......unless you are actively looking for something that really isn’t there.

The point is that it wouldn’t be sung at Brownhill. Unconscious biases run deep but are biases nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
