>On 5 August 1976, Clapton provoked an uproar and lingering controversy when he spoke out against increasing immigration during a concert in Birmingham. Visibly intoxicated, Clapton voiced his support of controversial political candidate Enoch Powell, and announced on stage that Britain was in danger of becoming a "black colony". Among other things, Clapton said "Keep Britain white!"[151] which was at the time a National Front (NF) slogan.[152][153]
Imagine how he feels now
it was just satire, like how /pol/ is

Enoch Powells "rivers of blood" speech ended up being completely right though.
>>70659512
BASED
Really makes one ponder
these past 3 years or so have been really weird, finding out white people are still mostly racist scum. kind of like when your creepy alcoholic uncle falls off the wagon after decades of sobriety. you're genuinely surprised and you feel a vague sense of pity, but mostly you just shrug it off and accept that he'll be dead in a few years

That makes it sound a lot softer than it was desu.
The speech in full:
>Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands. Wogs I mean, I'm looking at you. Where are you? I'm sorry but some fucking wog...Arab grabbed my wife's bum, you know? Surely got to be said, yeah this is what all the fucking foreigners and wogs over here are like, just disgusting, that's just the truth, yeah. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. You fucking (indecipherable). I don't want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch's our man. I think Enoch's right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white. I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans and fucking (indecipherable) don't belong here, we don't want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don't want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don't want fucking wogs living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for fuck's sake? We need to vote for Enoch Powell, he's a great man, speaking truth. Vote for Enoch, he's our man, he's on our side, he'll look after us. I want all of you here to vote for Enoch, support him, he's on our side. Enoch for Prime Minister! Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!

>Visible intoxicated
I think that alone is enough. But, isn't it funny how Buddy Guy considers the supposedly racist Eric Clapton to be one of his best friends?
>Recalls Guy, "Eric Clapton and I are the best of friends
What's with these /pol/ threads disguised as threads about music? Are we getting raided? It's even worse on /g/.
>>70660829
The refugee ban has them excited. Xenophobia is like cocaine to /pol/tards
>>70659512
wtf I hate Clapton now
>>70660706
Not him, but the "Rivers of Blood" was actually "the River Tiber foaming with much blood" and a reference to an epic by the Roman poet Virgil and were not to be taken literally.
>>70660773
>I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism.
The greatest sentence of all time
>>70660706
its a reference to an old poem (Powell was an expert on ancient greek history) and is not about the streets literally flowing with rivers of blood you imbecile. Try doing even 5 min of google research on something
meanwhile, Britain is enjoying this
