Was/Is Morrissey Racist?

lol @ the 'Similar Threads' at the bottom

a variation

Morrissey may or may not be a racist, but here's final proof (if it were needed) that he's a total fucking idiot:

The Mirror reports that last night a spokesperson for the singer said: "Morrissey has decided not to comment any further as he believes his statement speaks for itself."

It certainly does, Mozza

I am not making light of the attacks in Norway but I laughed out loud.

I mean I have friends in the animal rights movement, but I see this ludicrous crap on Facebook all of the time.

Don't know for sure, but certainly wouldn't be surprised to find Anders Breivik in agreement with the sentiments expressed by Mozza here

Hitler was a vegan... COINCIDENCE?

but facetiousness aside, Tom D on the money.

I don't think they had vegans in those days

Breivik has nothing to do with animal rights, wasn't he some sort of hunting enthusiast?

I don't look to Morrissey for enlightening commentary about terrorism.

that's lucky.

... or anything else you care to mention (xp)

My friend Mel died last year; she was a massive Morrissey fan and he wrote what remains one of the kindest in memoriam notes I've read, as well as being a very well-observed take on the fan dynamic from someone who is a fan himself. She was a cool soul and I still miss her. But some part of me is glad she never had to deal with everything since then, including this, the Morrissey-solo flap and the comments about China (which, since her background was Chinese, would likely have really hurt her badly).

I'm a Lou Reed fan, so who am I to talk?

Yeah the morrissey-solo stuff is shameful, esp considering how worshipful that sure was in general

On top of it all...what's with the shirt?

"Can I smell flaming pork scratchings or what?"

I corresponded w/David back when he was publishing the Sing Your Life fanzine, and I'm hard put to think of a bigger Morrissey fan than him. To see Morrissey treat him so poorly was very disappointing. On the other hand, Morrissey does little else other than disappoint these days.

as soon as I saw this thread bumped, I knew Morrissey had said something stupid about the Oslo attacks...

"Yeah the morrissey-solo stuff is shameful, esp considering how worshipful that sure was in general"

what is this referring to?

Oh God, I hadn't heard about that M-solo stuff. I met David T. once in L.A.; he was so nice and appeared uncharacteristically reasonable and sane for a Morrissey devotee. I wonder if he has some sort of masochistic streak though to put up with so much shit from Morrissey. Is it legal to bar someone from attending your concert just because you're unhappy with the website they run?

Queue the Associates "Stephen, You're Really Something".

I hadn't heard about that Morrissey-solo thing either, atrocious.

its cool bro he's not being racist this time (except to the norwegians)

Meanwhile, brilliant timing.

That whole Morrissey-solo thing is a hilarious trainwreck. Any points that La Mozza has towards the aspie rubes on there is wiped out by his shameful attacks on David T, but what would you expect from what is basically now a self-sabotaging figure of fun?

Alright, not just "now".

holy shit @ the morrissey-solo incident

it's really difficult for me not to link Moz's treatment of that dude to his comment about the Chinese

^^^ someone had to say it

don't let Morrissey see this thread

he might confiscate your cds

(assuming you have any of his)

I have Smiths CDs that I am considering ditching

really hope that dude puts all of his effort into a Fuck Morrissey website

I've got a shit load of Morrissey stuff on vinyl but I won't put up a fight... according to the Mozzapedia he has been known to sink up to ten pints of Stella in a session and I'm not fighting anyone who is on the combat lager.

37 new posts?

oh great

what did he do now?

he killed somebody

lol

he didn't, right?

he didn't, McDonald's did

I don't find the Morrissey quote about Norway offensive. He's not condoning the attacks in any way, just denouncing what ,in his mind, is equally reprehensible. He's still a twat for of other things he's said though.

Yeah, and it's not like he didn't wait until all those children were buried before harnessing his bizarre claims on to the back of Norway's biggest mass murder in recorded history... oh, hang on. He didn't.

I'd say, statistically there's a relatively 'good' chance that a distraught parent in Norway is taking down a Morrissey poster from a bedroom wall as we speak...

And speaking as a vegetarian of 27 years, what he is claiming is fucking derranged.

All about that last sentence of yours tbh. It's not offensive, it's just ridiculously stupid and basically troll-behaviour to say a thing like this.

And I, too, say that as a vegetarian.

It is not offensive if you believe that he is as truly hurt by the killing of animals as he is by the killing of people. He's not saying: "Oh that Norway thing is as irrelevant as chickens dying every day" It's the other way around. Not that I agree with his views.
