[DaveCinzano]

you've gone too far this time, cinzano

Talking of white chaps with culturally appropriated tonsorial arrangements, I would imagine you were not unfond of these gentlemen:

 

[rekil]

Bit harsh but I see where you're coming from

Watford? As in - Watforrrrd, tell me tell me, Watford.

 

[Citizen66]

That's covered in one of the twitter exchanges I posted. Language/music/body art etc is all fine, it's only the hair that's important

Presumably it was white people that decided this is what black people are offended by? Nothing racist about that, then!

apart from their faces and their music, there's not really much to get upset about with ned's atomic dustbin.

Remember what happened last time you presumed something on this thread

I dunno tbh, genuinely confused about the whole thing

They look like the world's cuddliest black metal band

[JTG]

Danke

 

[DaveCinzano]

Danke

Speaking of which, no white-boys-with-dreads here - only clean-cut and fresh-faced caucasians with culturally-appropriate coiffures:

 

[JTG]

I hate the Detroit Redwings

 

[el-ahrairah]

Furzum

*APPLAUSE*

 

[el-ahrairah]

that one at the front looks a bit like the alien from Alien Resurrection.

 

[ska invita]

Has anyone said that celts had dreads yet?

 

[JTG]

*APPLAUSE*

*starts thread to draw attention to witticism*

 

[JTG]

I know some Celts with dreads. Very culturally appropriate.

Hey, I have Celtic ancestry! I'm safe!

 

[DaveCinzano]

Has anyone said that celts had dreads yet?

No one's pict over that particular carcass yet

 

[butchersapron]

Has anyone said that celts had dreads yet?

Hence the Birmingham 6

 

[krink]

No one's pict over that particular carcass yet

As for the puns, I see we are going for the ancient people Angle

 

[el-ahrairah]

[DotCommunist]

[DaveCinzano]

Brigantes it on

 

[belboid]

I'll raise a beaker to that

 

[butchersapron]

Sure. And rastas would be the first to say that they got it from the old testament iirc.

But "dread" is an obvious rasta signifier, no?

Would this be an appropriate point at which to post this:



And to link to this?

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Shocking cultural appropriation of this?



Or a banging tune which is quite clearly part of a wider anti-racist / subversive counter culture?

 

[past caring]

Would this be an appropriate point at which to post this:



And to link to this?

It's like the Gang of Four decided to make Solid Gold forever.

And ever.

 

[krink]

I'll raise a beaker to that

I'll join you when I'm finished getting dressed, just need to put my Saxon shoes on.
