Who would have imagined that the sordid saga of ingrained racism in English cricket and its consequences would be laid...

"cricket" is a popular sport among english nationalists by the way, you probably never heard of it, it's a bastardised version of your baseball

for many years it was a yardstick for "bantering" minorities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_test

i mean americas idea of a post-racial utopia is maximum level bourgeois segregation, empower the black and asian middle classes!

whereas over here it's everyone and anyone can be racist, institutions and structures don't exist, a brown geezer on the dole can apparently be racist to George fucking Osbourne.

And Wiley hit back at the criticism with a series of ill-judged posts on the micro-blogging site.
He wrote: “I will throw Bombay potatoes on you”, “Your mum makes a dodgy korma” and “I will slap off your dad's turban”.
And last night he tried to explain his comments to BBC Asian Network DJ BOBBY FRICTION’s.
He said he was engaging in "ethnic banter".
He went on: "What I said on Twitter was me talking back to 400,000 Jay Sean fans who are speaking to me.

Wiley: 'I wasn't being racist'

it's that your mum makes a dodgy korma bit which makes it, in an east end accent. Without that it comes across as really nasty, but when situated in that context, it's hilarious. Gus and Limburger will not get that.

not to side with anything Wiley's done since though.

This is the issue with voice vs written down

sometimes when im wound up and im venting here i try and make it absurdist like that to try and take the sting out of it a bit to try and demonstrate that i havent gone totally round the bend and im not actually literally going to throw you in a hole full of frogs

i mean i do think he should have made a war dub rather than diss jay sean fans on twitter, it does get into cyberbullying territory. But then again thats wiley, he needs a mad woman who will slap him whenever he goes on twitter.

rudeboys don't get MBE's William!

 

[woops]

he needs a mad woman who will slap him whenever he goes on twitter.

yeah and he knows it, there's that song on his first album, "i need a girl who understands life"
