Cancel culture, racism & Collingwood & Carltons club songs

[Marc_Remillard]

The road running past the old Subiaco Oval used to be called Mueller Rd but was renamed during the First World War.

Culture and what is acceptable or not acceptable is perpetually changing, it is never static. Christopher Colombus and James Cook statues were all the rage in the 20th century but this does not mean we should not have a conversation about them again when things like BLM gain traction.

Time to get rid of the pyramids, such a terrible monument to slavery

And it's not an unreasonable conversation to have.

I used to live in the seat of Batman. It was recently re-named due to information that came into the public conciousness about John Batman's involvement in the massacre of Aboriginal people. It was the right outcome, IMO.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I thought it was more to do with the Washington sniper

It's possible I'm wrong, I'm just going by what I've read.

 

[Black white]

Right?! One minute organisations bend over to talking the knee, the next minute some random anonymous person creates a thread on the internet about some historical links to racism in a couple of club songs. It's madness I tell you, madness!!!

The next the organistaions bend over again.

Bombers have killed millions of people, better change their name whilst were at it.

Essendon didnt adopt the nickname until WW2, when the bombers over Europe were crucial in defeating Nazi Germany.

That’s how they dealt with racist white supremacists back then.

 

[Collingwood 4 eternity]

Maybe they should go back to being called the blood stained n****s, something less politically sensitive

Adam Ey would have really upset them

Something built by slaves is generally treated pretty differently to something built to commemorate slavery. Plantations and the White House are still standing.

Look I'm just comfortable knowing my clubs President has never offended a group of people to such an extent that it caused them to point the bone and place a curse on us. Our curse was for sacking the best coach in the games history.

How sweet, I do hope you sleep well each night. Do you judge ithrrs from inner melbourne. Have you ever met an aboriginal person
I will put money on it you havent

Yes, but bombers are military machines, and many of these bed wetting lefties would prefer Germany to have won.

False equivalence

So if we something is built by slaves to appease gods it's okay?? Right

Well Qatar is basically trying to do that at the moment, to be fair

 

[Dan]

Think in the past few weeks we've figured out who the real snowflakes are - and it ain't those on the left of the political spectrum.

You're the epitome.

ROFL. Long way on the other side, think you’re a bit confused.

You think the statue of Cecil Rhodes was to commemorate slavery?

 

[Black white]

It's
That's okay then

Think you're a bit one sided

 

[La Dispute]

Has anyone actually heard the Carlton FC theme recently to verify if offensive?

I find most of the lines in the club song more pathologically dishonest than anything.

Get rid of them all

Lefties and Nazi Germany. It’s not rocket science. They’re not exactly aligned.

 

[RUNVS]

Yes, poverty and education are generally the prime indicators of violence and crime, not race.

Definitely true. I used to be a teacher and when I went to different schools in different areas and even if you did not know anything about the suburb you could tell if it was a rich, middle class or poor area simply by how the students behaved.

Lefties are massively anti Semitic and many of the extreme left especially in Europe would have preferred Hitler won. So they can be aligned.

Are you getting angry at things you just basically made up yourself?
