It doesn't worry me, I can never make out the words of most of the songs anyway I heard it Cricket (England) for Johnny Bairstow before I heard it at football, Johnny looked smugly pleased when it was sung.

Shtanley Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 If a white bloke turned up to AG with a fake pair of dreadlocks on I'd probably tell him he's an idiot and needs to have a think about what he's doing. I don't think the song is offensive. There was one about Diedhiou that could definitely fall under the "enforces racial stereotypes" category. Don't think the bit about wanting him to shag our wives is racially based. Just think it's a new song that could've gone to anyone white, black or in-between.

But lyrically, it could have been written by the Bard of Peterborough, Mr Ernie Wise. I still prefer the original though. Amankwaah, Woe-hoe. He wears the red and and white.

One person needs to add the robin and one person needs to add the trophy for a full house. Oh and I'm not scared of Kasey Palmer, David Beckham, Marlon Pack or even J Lo wanting a shag.

White men singing “you are the love of my life ... you can shag my wife” to KP are clearly both bisexual and anti feminist but not racist. We need to alert the MeToo movement, but not the anti racist groups. I’m not sure how the transgender people will feel about it tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
