Re: Black Lives Matter
Quote:
Quote from The Sun: England rugby fans could be banned from singing Swing Low, Sweet Chariot at games over the song’s associations with slavery.
Fans can usually be heard bellowing out the song from the stands at Twickenham but it's now being examined after the Rugby Football Union launched a review into racism.
The review was started after Black Lives Matter supporters called for a review of Britain’s cultural past and its links to the slave trade.
Protests flared up following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis while he was in police custody.
The traditional song was written by a black slave in southern America during the 19th century
