Thankfully haven't heard it much recently but it needs to go. An absolute disgrace. Aye was just thinking about that song when club done their post today. Absolutely horrible and anyone singing clearly homophobic. Needs to be drowned out anytime it starts. Heck club should put announcement on PA if sung today to make clear that the club are against this and will remove idiots that are caught singing it. Haven't noticed opponents singing that in about a decade though I don't make every game. No place for biggots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know the meaning of it but no-one else does. The "meaning of it" is also racist. Implying that "black" equals "dirty" is racist. I don't get what people don't understand about that. I have not heard anyone use the term "black" to mean "dirty" outside of the football in about 15 years. No one actually says it anymore. Time to get that racist shite in the bin and lifetime banning orders should be issued to anyone engaging in such behaviour. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 The absolute losers who sing it appear to be emboldened by the fact that it bothers people. Unless the club bothers it’s arse trying to stamp it out it won’t go away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the lyric change right there, change Black to Dirty and we still have our song to sing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not defending the song at all but it’s wrong to say the song is racist. black is commonly used throughout Ayrshire to signify unclean. my mrs is from Killie and will Often use black mocket as a phrase to describe people. There is zero connection to race. In fact the mention of race is the only racist thing. we need to move away from it though. society also needs to move away from association of black and race. Skin colour isn’t relevant in todays society -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin colour should not even be a consideration, those who cling onto it like some kind of weapon are the ones who have the issue. but go f**k yourself, clown.

I agree with what you say, I'm like that with Roxanne and the term is used across Ayrshire as a slang for dirty. Though I also see what @Richey Edwardsis saying, it could possibly be perceived as something it isn't. I used to think it was cool as f**k to sing songs like that at school when I was younger, though it seems we've grown a sensitivity over the years. I wouldn't like to sing the song, knowing there's the possibility of offending someone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
