A flawed human being, sure, definitely had his issues with anger and definitely has a few incidents of violence. But he certainly wasn't racist.

 

[Booters]

in public anyway

 

[Deezy]

Only wrote the most offensive song of all time

 

[Deezy]

LMAO John Lennon did African Child before Russell Brand in Get em To The Greek

 

[Booters]

i'm listening...

 

[Barry Poppins]

Well, the only incident I can think of was the one song he wrote and released in the mid-70s that used the N-word.

 

[Booters]

yellow submarine?

 

[Sha-J Lee]

Now we’re fighting whether John Lennon is racist

 

[Barry Poppins]

"Women is the N- of the World"

 

[Deezy]

yellow submarine?

That was a ballad for Yoko

 

[Sha-J Lee]

yellow submarine?

Is that racist against the Chinese?

 

[Barry Poppins]

The song, while titled tastelessly, isn't a song about race, though. It's a song about sexism.

 

[Booters]

"Women is the N- of the World"

holy shit, that's a real song?

 

[O-Blaze]

Now we’re fighting whether John Lennon is racist

My job here is done. Goodnight everyone

 

[Deezy]

I like how a guy who wrote about sexism.....would slap around his women.
