Subject: RE: Are racist, but traditional, songs OK?
"And, yet again, who decides?"
Common sense and humanity - surely
I think it has already been said that nobody is suggesting "banning" anything, though even the rightest of Governments have been forced to recognise that there is line not to be crossed and have introduced 'anti-hate laws to protect the most vulnerable.
It isn't what should be banned but what audiences in out multi-racial, multi-cultural society should have to tolerate
Sre - people don't have to turn up to venues where this shit takes place - on the other hand, there are places like notrious East London pub, 'The Blade Bone' where people who wish to indulge can strut their stuff in the privacy of their own kind
In the light o what' is now taking place on the streets of the world following the US murder, should there be any doubt on this matter?
