This happened way back in 1976. Not the actual rant, but here is Clapton talking about it.
I hope a recording survived. This rant is silly and yet filled with truth pills.

Back when you didnt hide your power level.
This is England, this is a white country
It was.
Fucking sweet.
Somebody needs open their fucking mouths and say this shit now, in whatever white country you're in.
FUCK YEAH!!
Brown "people" ARE the problem. Brown "people" HAVE ALWAYS BEEN the problem. Clapton knew this in 1976 for fucksake - spread the word.
We gotta spread this so we can find a recording, one has to exist somewhere.
Why? So you can completely cancel him? Are you a wog?
Going by memory, I don't remember if I read it quoted (in 1976 papers) or if I heard the actual audio, I believe this happened but quote is extremely embellished and was not nearly as long and hard hitting.
He did say wog and he did make an appeal that they should not be there. But this is a radically trumped up version of his statement.
I hope you're wrong but even if you're not my curiosity will be satisfied if I find audio.
Referring to foreigners as 'coons' & 'wogs' was just how it was in every-day conversation back in the '70's, when talking to Brits. There were TV shows such as 'Love Thy Neibour' that played up on this colloquialism. I was working with about a dozen Brits at the time who always talked unabashed in this way as they could see what was happening to their beloved country-
I was at a Van Morrison show in the 90's where Morrison stopped the show to yell at a pack of niggers in the front row. Shit was hilarious. But he kind of stopped touring as much after that.
