  Aye! You'll rip the super market National Enquirer from my cold dead hands!

  Angelina Jolies babies while studying Kaballah with Madonna!)

          Oh do you indeed! I bet you hate the colour of your hands when you see them every morning,

          just wishing you had some 'culture' instead of just being plain old ignorant whitey.



          Double-standards rubbish for GROLIES.

              Nice one - yep, I don't think there are any Guardian writers here, just 'round the corner from

              Smethwick - of course I'm here, but what the fuck do I know, I only live here? ;)



              Those knob-heads patronise at length, while they go home to their nice houses/hoods...

                   Racism doesn't exist, it is a fig'leaf of your imagination. And notice how deniers 


                usually live/work/play further and further away from an actual representative sampling 


                of the society they're trying to purif' *erm* 'help'?


                  Starts to look like a car mechanic working under the hood (sorry, 'bonnet') while the owner is forcing his "backseat driver" diagnoses on the mechanic.

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!!!!!

I quite like Bloc Party in an angular, I'm aware of the beat combo
known as

Gang Of Four m'lud, but with mildly irritating vocals, sort of way.
They

have gone down in my estimation as a result of this, however; smacks
too

much of publicity-seeking to me. I really don't understand why it's

inappropriate for someone to have a "black" attitude to
anything;

it's

entirely possible to have a Christian, or Welsh, or male attitude, so
why

not a black one? All of these are generalisations, but since when is
making

generalisations verboten? Pleased they illustrated the article with
such a

neutral picture of Mr Lydon, though.


Even the article makes clear that anything even whiffing mildly of
racism

came from Lydon's "associates" rather than from him. Good
on them

for

punching Ricky Wilson, too.

Oh dear. I don't know Bloc Party from a bar of soap really but this
sounds

bad...

  Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social Darwinism.
  We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
  else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers contribute
  to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is unethical, while
  a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the spirit of diversity,
  inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
  Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team player.
