It is wrong, but these are the times we live in, where if Johnny were to make one racial comment directed at one person, then suddenly that means his hatred is directed at an entire group of people!. I'm guessing he didn't have issues with Jews as both Joey and Tommy were Jewish and Tommy's parents were both holocaust survivors and even after leaving the band, Tommy continued his friendship with his fellow Ramones and continued producing their albums!. This is merely one video and one man's commentary and since Johnny is not here to defend himself, it's one-sided!..

Full of try-hard social climbers and hysteria seekers who think shouting "racist" at others immediately alleviates them from any wrongdoing. They're typically just people overcompensating to hide their own problematic pasts.

Johnny was also friends with Joe Strummer, on the opposite side of the political spectrum. Johnny Ramone was a very strange person, admirer of both Hitler and Charles Manson but also a Disney and a Baseball fan; racist to the bone, a woman beater, a former juvenile delinquent who claimed for televised public executions for thieves; and an Elvis fan who alleged that blues wasn't all that important in the development of rock 'n' roll (?). He was also a proud bully who bragged about having beat Malcolm McLaren just because he didn't like him talking to his girlfriend, among other things.

It's hard to say whether he was some abject racist, but regardless people need to stop shitting on Marky. He was simply holding his tongue there. What we know for sure was that Joey was your run-of-the-mill hippie liberal while Johnny was mister big-time conservative.

You said he was a "Far right republican Reagan fan." Anyone truly on the right does not identify as a Republican, and wouldn't consider themselves a big Reagan fan. I have a feeling that, to you, being a Republican puts you on the far right, and that "far" right is the only type of "right" you think exists. I'm pretty far right, many of my friends are too, and I can legitimately say that none of us are racists or fascists. And definitely don't consider ourselves Republicans.

Johnny Ramone was based

It's been said before by people that really knew him. Part of it was real and part of it was an act. Like the fact the Johnny carried a KKK member card in his wallet. Which is a fact. I saw Johnny kick the shit out a young girl at a show because she reached up and touched his guitar while he was playing. I was standing right behind her. He kicked hard in the head 3 times and then motioned to security and had her and her boyfriend thrown out of the show. It was a really shocking thing to witness and I've seen a lot of fucked up things happen at concerts. Happened at the Brooklyn Zoo in the early to mid 80's. It was totally uncalled for. I felt so bad for that girl.

I'm not defending anybody but being just a few years younger than the Ramones, I can tell you growing up in the 60s and 70s as a white kid you were very much surrounded by prejudiced thinking and language towards most minorities. Particularly in a lower middle class setting probably. But it was pretty much all just talk, and certainly as the times wore on began to fade (as they are still fading). I'm sure in the black community there was a lot of salty racial stereotyping. I think it's all sad and wrong, but in these days of painting with the broadest brush possible it may be helpful to add some context and reality.

johnny despised a lot of people lol loved the dude he was so NY

Here's A breakdown... Johnny was a Staunch Conservative with a dark sense of Humor. Joey was a Hardcore Liberal...... And Conservative's LOVE to get Liberals in a Panic. It makes their Day. And i think, especially after the problem with Linda transpired, that Johnny REALLY became a Fascist in Joey's eyes. Joey wrote THE KKK TOOK MY BABY AWAY.... even poor Monte Melnick has said on record..."read the lyrics, listen to the song...". ( Johnny was also reputed to carry a KKK membership card in his wallet, but i think it was just something to freak people out with, though if so... It's a pretty lame way to do so.) What Marky doesn't seem to answer is the direct question... Did Johnny collect Nazi stuff? Johnny doesn't seem the type, as he was more interested in Horror movie posters and baseball cards. I honestly think Racism was MAYBE there, but not something he dwelled on too Seriously. The person who DID collect Nazi stuff WAS Dee Dee. He grew up in Germany and has said on record that that was just something kids did back in the days when you could scour areas of battle and find and trade things. But i don't think that this made Dee Dee a racist. Dee Dee's Major concern was getting through a full day of being Dee Dee. At the end of the day? I think the Fascist card was just something played out between Joey and Johnny for WHATEVER reason only known to them. I think Johnny viewed a Black RAMONES Fan no different than a Latino Fan ...or a Jewish Fan ...or an Asian Fan ...or a White Fan. A RAMONES Fan is a RAMONES Fan. .....unless you were a Commie.

I don’t think he was out to get Joeys goat as much as it annoyed him that Joey was into what he was. they relied on each other for their living and I assume the animosity has way more to do with Johnny marrying Linda than anything else. But being prejudiced isn’t really surprising or something that needs defending. He lived unapologetically, and we don’t need to apologize or make excuses for it. He just was what he was.

Ask any band, they'll tell you about being cooped up with each other for hours and hours, day after day, just eventually are at each other's throats, until they learn to deal with each other and get through it. It's part of growing up. It's part of anyone's life to learn to deal with different personalities. And yes, tuna fish will stink up a tight space like inside a van, lol. They toured in vans back then.

I know you don´t mean to be disrespectful, but please be more carefull with your words, not a ´cool´ thing to say.

War is not punk rock.

Lots of people collect military memorabilia... Joey was a big lib and Johnny was a conservative.. Marky blocked my Instagram after years of chat that even included personal texts because I slipped up and accidentally called him a rock star ! It was jokes ! Marky is a bit thin skinned. Dee Dee was my favorite Ramone. Period. Douglas Colvin was my punk rock spirit animal. I grew up in the Midwest and I saw the Ramones 27 times before Dee Dee left the band.

He certainly has reservations on pinning the tail on the donkey.

Easy to talk shit about a dead guy....why doesn't he talk about how Johnny gave him a career?

He does in his book talk about that. He talks about it quite a bit, actually. I enjoyed the book. It was well rounded and not the least bit sensationalized, like this snippet of interview in the video here.

Thats awesome Mr. Lynch, Mr. Cummings was my most favorite Ramone. My other favorites are C.J., Dee Dee, and Richie.

August 30, 2016 In a world filled with perfect people, everyone would get along. But we dont live in such a world (at the current moment), and people are not perfect and all have prejudices. Its human nature to discriminate in general (ie types of people or things, that one likes or doesnt like). So what if Johnny was a "racist", murder and theft are worse behaviors than racial slurs or "racist" thinking-- yet in todays world many are far more shocked by differing views and opinions, than by theft or murder. I dont agree with everything that Johnny believed, but I actually admire the fact that he was "politically incorrect" (so few are in today's world). And it actually makes me like Johnny even more.

Racism and Naziism as "Conservative politics"?? wth are you talking about??

Both Dee Dee and Johnny had their political views on certain matters and you see the uncomfortably of Mark's views but it shouldn't be taken away at any case in terms of their music and legacy. Joey was the left Johnny was the right But those were of different times. Let's not go "sensitive" on this....

@Brandywine6969

3 жыл бұрын

I usually hate it when someone says that about not being sensitive about things, but you do have a point in this case. It was what it was. They still made great music and from most of the songs, the left won out lyrically most of the time, even if some songs went the other way too. It gave us the great music we have now, even if Johnny was a Republican. He definitely WAS a Republican. He made no bones about that, said it himself. So, the other stuff often does come with the territory politically.

Don't believe everything Mark says. He talked shit about everyone. I heard first hand the shit he said about the other guys. After they retired, I met him and asked him to sign my jacket. CJ had already signed it. And Mark told me I shouldn't have CJ on my jacket because he wasn't a Ramone. At another time, me and a friend of mine were talking to him about what all the other Ramones were up to. He said Joey is just getting fat and can't sing any more. He just doesn't have good things to say about anyone. He just wants to build himself up. Even talked shit about Jerry Only and the MIsfits after he played with them. I'm a big Ramones fan but that shit just sucks. By the way, CJ and Richie are cool as shit.

I'm here because I saw a dude in insta with a poster saying Johnny was a racist I front of his grave for black history month

I lost a little respect for Mark here why would you say Johnny is a racist after he's dead wtf man he can't defend himself

From what I understand from a documentary about the Ramones they were Jewish, Marky was gentile, this interviewer is very uneducated about the Ramones.

The only racist is this interviewer.

The biggest question here is why Marky still insists on wearing a wig, wheras CJ has embraced baldness lol. That being said, at least his is more convincing than the one Gary Numan wears

That wig could be a book in itself. Best seller i bet

Joey was right on what he said !! "People drift towards liberalism at a young age, and I always hope they change when they see how the world really is."

I think the most interesting thing about The Ramones is that although they inspired so many of The British punk bands in 1976 they themselves wanted what they perceived to be the exposure and success of The Bay City Rollers in 1976 Fact... They used to complain to their management about not getting this...
