Well "keep Britain white" was his mantra

I'm not trying to justify that statement, but he was really drunk when he said that, and Clapton has been strongly influenced by black musicians like B.B. King or Buddy Guy, so what he said doesn't make any sense, taking into account the numerous covers he did from Bob Marley or Robert Johnson (probably his biggest influence). So I'd say he made a very big mistake, but didn't really mean what he said, in my opinion.

Racism isn't a symptom of alcoholism. It's a symptom of being a racist.

OK, but I just think it doesn't make any sense to worship Robert Johnson and Buddy Guy and then say "keep Britain white".

Anyway, better stop talkin' 'bout Clapton, I'll do that in another thread.

No it doesn't make sense. Racism doesn't make sense.

I have a black friend so i cant be racist

OK, let's not turn this into a political debate.

This is my silly thread so I say let the argument continue.

OK, whatever you want, I thought you were angry cause I had extended too much the debate about Clapton being a racist in your thread about Manowar, so I'm sorry.

I will never get angry at derailing a thread to hurl accusations at someone.

Hey, Trollheart! You're a nonce!
