Default USA Black Academics get angry over British Rugby fans sing Sweet Chariot
Was in the Times
so no link
it's a pay site
Ref: Ch5HD AM Live Paper Review


The Fans mean no harm to sing that old song
and are not going to Stop.


What will the USA Black Academics do?

Maybe they will send in Activists?

No, they play a sissified version of it with lots of padding and helmets. Big Jessies.

The onus isn't on how well travelled the fans are or what sports are played in the US, it's the cultural appropriation of the song.
Is the significance of the song known? I would hope so.
It isn't sung with any malice and I can't see them changing, the academics have educated them as to it's history so they aren't ignorant to it's deeper meaning any longer.

"Cultural appropriation" is the biggest BS term going and it's not anything to do with Americans what British rugby fans sing.We don't moan about American Football or Baseball fans and try dictating what they do.

Is it? Is it up there with the likes of, 'PC' ' virtue signaling' 'loony lefty' 'snowflake'?
It isn't BS, the historical significance of the song is well documented, there's nothing wrong with acknowledging this.

Well, if they were singing songs with strong connotations to slavery then I'm sure we would...

Most songs have a connection to something, most have meaning and history, just like most words.

As long as that song isn't actually committing slavery, then what's the problem?

When you find out that fat white men halfway across the world have been using a slave spiritual sung by your ancestors and inspired by the Underground Railroad, in preparation to throw an egg-shaped ball about whilst having little to no idea about its significance beyond that, I think you'd be allowed to be slightly peeved about it tbh

You probably get a lot of slim women from the town Rugby too, but that's still not what I'm talking about
