Singling out a South London born player in a song chosen solely due to his colour would only be wholly justifiable if it were a Jamaican song as that is his heritage. If we must give reference to this, why not Bob Marley, for example?
This samba song has been copied from other clubs, which is in itself simply boring. I imagine the first supporters who sang this did so because they had a Brazilian player.
Btw, samba was invented in Brazil by black slaves from Africa.
2. We have a great academy. Why can’t we show our pride in that by simply singing ’he's one of our own’ as Spurs fans did in unison for Harry Kane for so long?
You can all make singled worded criticism of my opinion as long as you like, or reply ’it’s just a laugh’ or suchlike. That shows that you haven’t thought it through.
I don't think Matty Godden is Spanish, shall we stop singing olé?

Dont get me started on the Allez Allez Allez song either... it shouldn't be "every Saturday we follow", its "Most Saturdays and the occasional Tuesday we follow"

On the topic of that song. What is the Nathan Jones bit? Seems like there is about 10 different lines sung in a mumbled fashion as no one knows what it is meant to be.
I would say the same about you, closing down a reasonable discussion about a possible WW3.
You’re a nice bloke, and you’ve done a great thing making this site, but your authoritative attitude with regards to thread closure (censorship) only reflects the sad way our society has gone.
This chant is currently being sung by almost every team in the country for players from every creed, colour and corner of the globe. I cannot think there is a single other supporter in the country who would have any consideration it is remotely racist. I just think it’s simply bizarre to try and think that.
As for the other non-linked point, we have guidance of topics for discussion. We have them as multiple users have proven on multiple times over multiple years that there are topics that just can’t be maintained as civil conversations without getting silly. It’s what we think is the best approach to maintaining a harmonious, predominantly Charlton based forum across a cross section of people. It’s nothing to do with me doing what I want, I’m about as authoritative as piece of damp cardboard. There are a million places to discuss Russia, US etc outside of this forum.

While we're at it, we'd better stop singing "Valley Floyd Road" - it's cultural appropriation because the Mull of Kintyre is in Scotland, not Southeast London.

It’s taken from an Italian song, L’estate Sta Finendo, so it’s not ’allez’ but ’alé’.

Are you sure about that? Name me a club whose supporters sing it about a white player.
To make myself clear, it’s not just Charlton, and it’s not overtly racist (I think that my use of this word has been misinterpreted) but it is a covert form of racism.
Coventry sing it for Mason Clarke who, like Campbell, is black and born in London.
I do not believe that anyone sings this out of hatred, quite the opposite, I would think that most of our supporters ’love’ TC. However it is a peculiar choice. Let’s put it in a different context. Imagine if we had a black supporter, born in London, who was voted ’Fan of The Year’. At the POTY dinner he collects his award and us other fans (99 per cent white) sing him a samba song. Do you think this would happen if over 50 per cent of the other fans were black?
It’s a form of covert racism. I’m not that bothered about it tbh, but ask a black friend or colleague how he might feel about it.

I bet if you were to ask TC or any members of his family what they think of the song they would tell you they love it. The song shows TC just how much the fans love and appreciate him and nothing more.

yes and since the george floyd thing, people like this are what we now have to treat as the norm for fear of possibly upsetting somebody for some obscure reason - trump is an idiot in many ways but ditching the excessive diversity bollox, he's spot on with - big companies are now following suit now its no longer 'fashionable' to pander to the nonsense. Probably a blow to the HR industry. A return to common sense will be good - as in the sense that is common to most of us being applied as opposed to the most extreme parts of society.
