Popular Post HuskerDo2 Posted December 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2022 Yes, the world is truly messed up these days. I'm glad I was born when I was, so I don't see how much worse it gets in 20 or 30 years. I blame a lot of it on social media. Years ago when you didn't like something you would complain to your friends. These days a person can let the entire world know how they feel including not liking the word "yellow" in a song that's been around for decades. The world is so F'd up and unfortunately it's only going to get worse. Buckle up. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how long will it be before certain music will be banned. Not for any lyrics but for the music. Music like Link Wray's instrumental hit 'Rumble' that was banned in 1958 for being too provocative.

Of course, this story is in essence inflammatory, click-bait, but then again: who nowadays reads newspapers?! In the end, I try to insulate myself from the daily craziness out there by simply deciding to not myself be incensed by such a moronic story.

xylophone Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 The Bruce Springsteen song, "Born in the USA" has the words....... "kill the yellow man" in reference to the Vietnam war I believe, so I would suppose that will be next. So glad I am at the tail end of my life, because this nonsense along with other rubbish going on in the world is only going to get worse, so I won't be here to see it, thank goodness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an antiwar context to that Springsteen song that would make censorship highly unlikely. Also as I was discussing before in the US and we are talking about US songs referring to Asians as yellow may be a mild slur at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) 4 hours ago, toofarnorth said: Who likely was born in October. Apparently , they moved his birthday to December to ' smother ' pagan celebrations of Saturnalia and the winter solstice , filching many of the associated customs for good measure. https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-rome/saturnalia#:~:text=Saturnalia%2C held in mid-December,%2C feasting and gift-giving. Just as the first churches in Britain took over pagan sites of worship. It was the same with Islam. Mohamed took all the pagan customs and rolled them all into his new religion. Great salesman he was. They bought it. Edited December 18, 2022 by Denim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE1 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 So what if it offends you , don't listen to it and let the rest of those who it doesn't offend enjoy it.

The whole point is all about clickbait and the word yellow in one song. There are many other songs with the same word "yellow" either in the lyrics or in the title and I gave many examples. Why were they also not classed as racist? If it is racist and offensive in one song then it must equally be so in every song with that word in it. That the moaners and whiners have no said so proves to me and I think to the majority of people that the whole thing is male cow excretia and worthy of the Daily Wail. A newspaper in the loosest possible term, that if it were allowed, isn't fit even to wrap fish and chips in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, if white skinned humans got offended by being refferd to as 'white', would that offend other colour skin people? And if the other coloured skinned people were offended by white skinned people being offended, would they be racist? What about if a white skinned humans identified as a black, yellow, green or purple skinned human? My goodness...i just think humans in general are so stupid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe you don’t understand that yellow used to describe human skin color is about race (or hepatitis) but used to describe objects are completely different usages. Of course yellow is also used to indicate a person is a coward which you can tell by the context. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
