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!!!!!
