Douggy B 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Give over man FACT. I just did a quick check and one account of Judas' death has him hanging himself. No mention of a tree either. Well you will have to take our word that it is not. No one knows how Judas died because it happened 2000 years ago. The bible talks of him "hanging" the assumption that it was from a tree is a fair one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 7027 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I find it incredible that someone who gets paid tens of thousands of pounds a week can get all precious because he was called names for 90 minutes. I find even more incredible that other people get even more precious in defence of the overpaid athlete's precious feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO they though? or is it only rascist because they sing a derogatory song to a black bloke ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douggy B 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I think it important to distinguish between Xenophobia and r@cism at this juncture. Actually no I dont. Who cares. Its terrace banter.

Toonpack 7027 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) ''His Dad washes elephants and his mother is a whore'' Aye I know the song, but the first bit is a fact (I believe) and the second is just bile, a'la "Alan Shearer's illegitimate" that the mackems sang. Nee different, not racial, just bile. Edited October 3, 2008 by Toonpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 ''His Dad washes elephants and his mother is a whore'' Will you stop looking for racist things that aren't even there man? It muddies the waters of any debate. Danny B reckons his dad did wash elephants. If that's true, how the fuck is that racist? And how is calling his mother a whore? It's potentially canny offensive, aye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt give a toss about Sol Cambells feelings, I think he comes across as a prat for letting them get to him. I would have no problems whatsoever with 90 minutes of booing or whatever. I think that songs about lynching blacks and aids are over the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's potentially canny offensive, aye. Tom's a rascist, he subconciously believes black people wash elephants and marry whore's, therefore because the song was sung, he recognises his feelings and identifies it as rascism, when it's not but he is.

I very much doubt his dad washes Elephants, it's obviously highlighting the fact he's from Togo. + I never said it was racist to call his mother a whore - I was just putting the song in.

Douggy B 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 you really need to get over the lynching thing. the song relates to his personal problems not about him being lynched. That is a massive jump and an unfair one in my opinion. I know it isnt a nice song but people are reading too much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sining a song about a black bloke hanging from a tree is a massive jump to lynching is it? Aye, righto. And associating it with one passage in the Bible isn't? Keep backtracking though.
