[kj] Sex Pistols singer faces race attack claims - Minor Threat

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

Yep, they are! I first heard that song with my buddy in 1982 when we  14 and 
reading the lyrics and interviews it is spot on! It doesn't take a genius  to 
know what they are about. That song also got Neo Nazis into Minor Threat  
thinking they were some Nazi Punk Band which is dumber than dumber! HA! But I  
hate that race card playing it is so old. 
 
The Straight Edge thing is his baby and I think a lot of it got out of  
control. Like straight edge kids beating you up  if you got a smoke or  drink in 
hand. That is really punk let me tell you. But I guess you when  you make a baby 
it at times turns into a monster.. Like The Beats or HC punk  when it first 
came on the scene in L.A. and attracted Jocks and assholes.

He'd know about prejudice too -  wasn't the straight-edge 'religion' his 
little baby?

Ade,
 
That is a trip. It is like the Minor Threat song "Guilty of Being  White".. 
Which basically accuses Ian MacKaye of being   prejudice. 
 
“Guilty Of Being White"

 
 
I'm sorry
For something I didn't do
Lynched somebody
But I  don't know who
You blame me for slavery
A hundred years before I was  born

Guilty of being white

I'm a convict
Of a racist  crime
I've only served
19 years of my time

Guilty of being  white 
 
Now for the Lydon ordeal I believe it wasn't him and it was his thuggy  
friends. After all he was friends, or maybe still is with Don  Letts? And their was 
also black dude in his band PIL too if I am not  mistaken in later years?

Years ago,  my asian/muslim mate (Moh) was recounting to me the time his car  
overheated & he was fucking about under the bonnet, trying to sort it  out. 
He reminisced about how he went to a nearby shop to get some help  & was 
embarrassed 'cos his hands were covered in oil & were black  from it. It was just a 
conversation about car woes.

At this point  my black friend jumped in & started challenging seriously as 
to  "What's wrong with having black hands?"

It occurred to me & Moh  that the prick was nothing more than a race-card 
playing wanker, of which  there are MANY. You know, those people that my lefty 
friends don't believe  exist.

Sounds a bit like this story too, though I admit my bias in  favour of Lydon. 
Nevertheless, I can imagine his thicko mates behaving in  typical grunt 
fashion, but was that John? We shall  see...


ade.

PS. I LOVE DOUBLE-STANDARDS, OF COURSE THEY  DON'T HARM SOCIETY & BREED 
RESENTMENT - THAT'S FOR RACISTS. Whatever  'racist' means these days. INJUSTICE FOR 
 ALL!!!!!
