Hahahahaha...I want to see that.
What are they going to do with the Hooligans? Kick them all out of the stadium?
These people can go pound sand.

Make a point of offending the politically correct at every opportunity.
When they protest do something offensive to them to overtly to get in their face.

Why are they trying to remove any and all traces of black culture from the world?
That’s weird.

The Christmas song “Go Tell It on the Mountain” was another song associated with slavery. So I guess that needs to go to.

Liberals are in a blind fury.
Frantically trying to erase any and all vestiges of black history and culture.
It’s as if they hate the black race.
Oh wait. They do.

Gee. If we censor all references to slavery and civil war history, it will be as if it never happened...

Well, if it wasn’t an issue before, Daily Mail will make sure it is now.

They can always try this version from Dizzy Gillespie
Swing Low, Sweet Cadillac,
Coming for to carry me home
I look over Jordan and what do I see?
A new Eldorado coming for me
Comin for to carry me home.

Up until today, I literally only heard part of this song once. Probably around 1980. It pops in my head frequently when I see a Cadillac

“What are they going to do with the Hooligans?”
That’s soccer. But what they’ll do is if the fans start singing it, the officials will award the other team a penalty kick (very like a field goal). Or perhaps they’ll issue a yellow carda 10-minute visit to the penalty box. Second offense: red card, team plays short-handed for rest of game.
Then the question will be “Do we want the England team to win or for us fans to be free to sing a song written by a black man?”

I predict that in a hundred years from now, they will be frantically and desperately trying to erase the hateful violent thug culture that is so prevalent today.
Along with vulgar rap music, double digit abortion rates, double digit illegitimacy rates and double digit crime rates.

My Canadian wife (as closed to an unbiased source as I can get at hand) posits that if we wipe out all references to black people from the past, it is implying that there is something wrong with being black, something shameful that must be hidden.
