[IamAWeedPlant]

rix iam addin fishbone to ur little list

[acwealde]

There are too many white people in this band.

[wolverine37x]

give us a break man - the whole two tone thing was about it not mattering whether you were black, white or day-glow purple for that matter.

[acwealde]

I know, haha.

[karamsink]

So, what is the problem man? This what we call SKA

[acwealde]

It's just not the same. You can lie to yourselves as much as you want - I think they were better when they had proper black geezers in it. Perhaps you think it wouldn't matter if the Wailers were all white bank clerks either.

[kingsloco]

If it's all black geezers you want may I introduce you to Hip Hop.

[acwealde]

I think you are missing the point yet again.

[muzpunk]

What fucking point? you stupid cunt.

[acwealde]

Two tone and ska had a point 28 years ago. It was black music that was embraced by white youths of similar social standing, and made harder and more relevant. Now all the black people have moved on, leaving middle class whites to drag its corpse from one decade to another smug with the knowledge that it doesnt matter what colour

[madmacska]

sorry my friend maybe i missed something there,the music still has a point now!!!ska music is black music yes,two tone music explains to me that it is black and white loving this music together!! why do you say black people have moved on!!! that is disturbing mate,and im white and im not middle class,and i realy dont get ya at all.

[gocheekga]

@acwealde rue politically has no relevance but ,Music is for the masses my friend , IE Bob Marley loved by all colours and nations and many other artists its good music that brings people together.I was a Rude boy and many of my friends where white and not into the same music of cause racists touched ska and many skins ware far right but not all if you lived it you would know.Its about the music and the look just like you had mods and rockers and punk. We lived music !

[muzpunk]

'What fucking point? you stupid cunt'.This is a reply to acwealde! The idiot is racist, look at his comments.

[acwealde]

Oh for fucks sake muzpunk.

[JustinG1988]

acwealde is right, only it doesn't got anything to do with the fact the ''old'' guys are black. there just better, nothing racist about that

[kingsloco]

There is one too many of you in this world

[acwealde]

You are somewhat over reacting I think.

[ss180jay]

Lol

[StNige]

absolutely

[rixta50]

never stop

not even for a minute just a blast to the whole Ska (the joy of my life in the early 80's) is getting x-posure to a whole new audience if you like Selecter - then you are on the road to some of the most vibrant music ever made Specials,Madness, the BEAT etc etc
