Comments on youtube are deactivated,
because racists have their fun with this guy.

And Axl Rose wore the Exile Shirt with the
3 balls guy in the AC ´89 broadcast. He could
have chosen any other picture of the album
sleeve - but chose this, as he is a racist, too.

Is this another?

Charlie's a racist?

Well known for it. He played truant from school in the 1950's to take part in the Notting Hill Riots.

Forget about the three balls trick - I like this better. Nice 6 pack!

So you really ignore the relation Charlie has to black
culture - and the way Axl has it?

"Police and niggers, get out of my way".
That´s evidence enough.
Also about "immigrants and faggots"

Oh Christ. Mark Knopfler got in the same trouble for the "Money For Nothing" lyrics about "the little faggot with the earring and makeup." That line is still taken out of some broadcasts. He had to explain to the press that the person singing those lines is an ignoramus, of course he's going to say stuff like that. The Axl lines sound in the same vein. Unless there's evidence that "One in a Million" is Axl preaching from the heart, he gets a pass from me, and I don't even like the song. And no, the shirt isn't evidence.

From Wikipedia regarding "Money for Nothing": "The first-person narrating character in the lyrics refers to a musician "banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee" and another female musician "stickin' in the camera" (adding that "we could have some fun"), describes a singer as "that little faggot with the earring and the make-up," and bemoans that these artists get "money for nothing and chicks for free." These lyrics were criticised as being sexist, racist, and homophobic."

"In a late 1984 interview in Rolling Stone magazine, Knopfler expressed mixed feelings on the controversy:
"I got an objection from the editor of a gay newspaper in London - he actually said it was below the belt. Apart from the fact that there are stupid gay people as well as stupid other people, it suggests that maybe you can't let it have so many meanings - you have to be direct. In fact, I'm still in two minds as to whether it's a good idea to write songs that aren't in the first person, to take on other characters. The singer in "Money for Nothing" is a real ignoramus, hard hat mentality"[4] Sound familiar?
