In a new article on Cracked.com titled 5 Beloved Celebrities Everyone Forgets Did Terrible Things,
the celebrity that allegedly did the number one most terrible thing
(WARNING: SPOILER ALERT) was perpetrated by guitar God Eric Clapton.
According to the Cracked article;
Eric Clapton is an unapologetic follower of first-class douche Enoch
Powell, a member of the British Conservative Party and full-blown
racist. His 1968 "Rivers of Blood"
speech, which basically foretold of an England in tatters if
(non-white) immigration was allowed to run rampant, was ridiculously
controversial and seriously damaged his political career. But Clapton
stood by him.
In 1974, six years after Enoch was drummed out of political life by
his remarks, a drunken Clapton was performing at a concert in
Birmingham, and apparently saw an Arab man leering at his wife. This was
too much for Clapton, who began a diatribe lambasting "wogs," "blacks,"
"Jamaicans," and anyone else who lived in England and wasn't white. No
official recording exists of the speech, but some choice quotes that
witnesses agree on include Clapton saying, "I think Enoch's right ... we should send them all back. Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!" and that Britain was on its way to becoming "a black colony."
