THE TRUTH ABOUT JOHN LENNON; THREAD

Okay, I came here to deny some things they make up about John, like: raped children, battered women, racist, homophobic, etc.
John made many mistakes, but some stories on websites make up many lies about him.

Okay, read the topic.
I have sources, videos, biographies,+

among other things.
Every coin has two sides.
You do not give a chance to a person who died 40 years ago to defend himself.
Just read and draw your conclusions.

There are reports that John Lennon assaulted his wife and that he declared this to be normal.
Lie! In this interview they say that John did not attack them, in fact, he was always very affectionate.

However, in Cynthia's biography, it is reported that John punched him in+

the face when they were dating.

Among other reports, John was always very attentive to his girlfriends and without any case of aggression.

But yes, John was wrong. he was insecure and discounted his frustrations and insecurities at Cyn, as he said!
He was afraid of+

being abandoned or even betrayed, as he betrayed
he was a human being who assumed his mistakes and did not make them again

all he saw were films in which men beat women ", he would remember" That was being tough, it was the right thing to do, slapping the face, working hard on them. Humphrey Bogart and all that wave ... "Cynthia's autobiography, A Twist of Lennon, published in 1977, made no mention+

of having suffered physical abuse from him. About twenty years later, in a BBC documentary, she said that how, on a night she went out with Lennon, she and Phyllis McKenzie had gone to a club out of town and hitchhiked with two guys they had met. The next day at college, she+

mentioned the innocent episode to John, Phyllis then reported that found her in tears after he “slapped her in the face.” Cynthia's second autobiography, published in 2005, tells a tougher story. One night at a party, John “went crazy” after someone told her she was dancing+

with Stu Sutcliffe. They stopped so she said that they saw the look on her face and Cyn ran to appease him. The next day, however, he followed her to the women's bathroom in the basement of"

Yoko:

John has had no other cases of assault with women, although he claims he was physically cruel to Cynthia. Since Cynthia herself said that John punched her in the face when they were teenagers and spent three months apart after that. It was the only case of assault that John+

had, and after that Cyn says that if there was another assault she would not return with him.
"oh but why did John say that?" John sometimes increased things in the interviews, or was under the influence of drugs. so it is very likely that it was, because Julian the son of

John with Cynthia never said anything about the father attacking his mother, or even Sean son of Yoko talked about it. Cynthia didn't lie or be "controlled" about it because the interview was made long after John's death, and Julian would definitely say something about it,+

because he always made it clear how his father was absent due to the Beatles' tours, he he always made his discontent with his father clear at the beginning. But nowadays Julian says he has already forgiven him, and he doesn't like to be used to attack John.
He said he was+

aggressive towards men and women, because in his mind what happened to Cynthia also counted and does count in fact. But there is no other episode about it, and in the end increasing or not the facts he makes it clear that he has improved as a human being.

Many say that John was racist, in reality there were never cases of people who knew him saying that he was.
He didn't show it at any time, so I have no way to attack or defend him.
but it has an explanation by John himself about the music he created with the term n-word.

Beatles against segregation

John was against the racial segregation that existed and the Beatles declared on behalf of the whole band that they sang for people and not because of their skin tone.

As for the song Woman is the N **** r of the World, John had no intention of being racist. The reason John wrote Woman is the N **** r of the World is because he wanted to express his case for women's rights. John thought that the way people treated women was still as bad as+

the way people treated black people, which is why he came up with the idea of ​​writing Woman is the N **** r of the world.

he was not homophobic.
"oh, but he punched Bob because he called him F0g"
at the time, being homosexual was a crime. Imagine if this became a rumor? the band they struggled to build would end, and the Beatles manager was a homosexual.

and on John's official Instagram, this drawing was posted that said: Why is it sad to be gay? It's okay to do what you want. Our bodies are ours So leave us alone Go play with you - today.

John lived in the 60s, where being gay was a crime
John was not homophobic, but as he said, at some point he was very afraid of being homosexual because he knew what was happening to Lgbt + people at the time, and that may have had some consequences in that regard.

But John has matured and we can see that.

But John has matured and we can see that.

John never established a relationship with his biological father and when he was getting closer to his mother, she died in an accident. In other words, the examples he had were not very deep or close. The music of the lyrics of Mother shows this well and all the pains and+

consequences of them

"ah but it doesn't justify" bro, real

parts of Cynthia powell's book about John

"John wrote to me saying: I'm very sad and I'm sorry that I missed the fact that Julian is growing up. But now he's a smallman and I miss him a lot and I've been a bastard because, you know, I didn't give attention to him. "- Cynthia Powell

"What is intriguing is that John always rejected the song when asked about it." Kind of disposable "," I didn't think it was that important "," I never liked it "," I always hated that one "and" it was fake "were the comments that he has done over the years.

Since the lyrics can easily be seen as sexist, his views on feminism in the seventies (evidenced in his song “Woman Is The N- Word Of The World”) may have tarnished his view of the song in retrospect."

word 'Beatles' as a remote thing - · Beatles' as other people see us. I said that they are exerting more influence on the boys and things than anything else, including Jesus, and I said that way, it was the wrong way, blah, blah .. "

John made jokes about people with disabilities when he was a teenager. in his day, people with disabilities were seen as freaks, etc.

sexuality
