No they didn't. My mother when she was alive was out spoken and got plenty...
of punches on her Irish views back in the day about Ireland and also Working men, ICI and all the rest and was thumped many times but in billingham where her mothers working mans club was all were welcome, black, white etc etc. Clapton played in Billingham once and welcomed all. I can't believe you can hold those values and if anyone did then they would go out hunting people. Why would he be racist when you listen to his songs? It would make lots of them pointless when he had made his money, no point.
