    Yes, it's difficult to not come across as a racist in normal, casual conversation. I frequently struggle with it.

    Oh, wait, no I don't struggle with it, cos I'm not a ******* racist.

    Best way to not come across as a ******* racist is don't be a ******* racist.

    Lets try a different approach. The club has come out twice now and asked you to stop singing the song, so stop singing the song.

    Why have you started a new thread? Why not just ask someone in one of the many threads already talking about it?

    I'm merging it. This is getting stupid

    It's not a debate. Our opinions about the chant are irrelevant. Singing it is not allowed.

    Another good idea as part of natural evolution of our nation. I'm not sure who in their right mind would admit being British at the minute. Anyone "proud" enough to admit such a thing deserves one of Johnson's longer stretches (proverbial prison slang I'm sure).

    But you struggle to speak to black people without coming across as racist?

    No it’s NOT half of the ponty end and BFC could have it’s own official choir and conductor but it wouldn’t legitimise racist songs

    Would it be racist if someone of the same race made a stereotype of someone else of the same race? Are you having us all on in some elaborate wind up?

    But you're defending singing a racist song?

    "There are two things i hate in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch"

    You what? You're telling me they called YOU racist for singing about a black mans ****? It's political correctness gone mad.

    Next they'll be telling us we need to stop singing about Polish Kev with his corner shops.

    Really?
    You’d punish these young uns more harshly than paedophile grooming gangs?

    No it couldn’t.
    I manage to live my life daily having many conversations and nothing I’ve said in 40 odd years could be construed as racist.
