People who think Morrissey is racist are always thick as fuck

but not too thick to read his history of saying racist stuff

Smart ppl know that calling the Chinese a "subspecies" cannot possibly be racist if the person saying it has written some songs

Eh he's a horrible person and his apologists are some of the worst ppl alive, I'm not a fan of serious illness ftr even if it stops morrissey saying things which is unequivocally a positive

outta like 7 billion or w/e there's gotta be 3, 4bn we could do without. Morrissey fans could slot in there without a hitch.

But who would buy the albums?
And who would make the non-cover versions?
― Mark G, Tuesday, 24 June 2014 14:40 (twelve years ago)
Yeah that was meant as morrissey-style hyperbole without the genuine bigotry that makes him so lovable, obv there are worse ppl in the world but I'm still gonna say ugh those guys are the worst
― Knob Dicks (wins), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 15:09 (twelve years ago)
i still like himi dunnobut i get why ppl hate himhis personality has been so terrible for decadesi like the songs though, or the old onesbut yeah a lot of the stuff he's done in recent years is indefensible
― sinister porpoise (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 15:16 (twelve years ago)
As someone who dislikes Strangeways, the vast majority of Morrissey's solo career was already unpalatable to me musically; the indefensible shit he's said on the side is piss icing on the shit cake.
― Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 15:20 (twelve years ago)
Xp Yeah I know some of his stuff means a lot to some ppl, I wasn't gonna add to x's kool-aid man itt cause it's hardly my concern if ppl are bummed out by a racist singer being unwell be it morrissey or clapton, assertions that he's a misunderstood victim deserve mockery tho
― Knob Dicks (wins), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 15:28 (twelve years ago)
nah he never cops to anything that's the frustrating thing
feel like he was always that way then that dumb lawsuit just made him completely ridiculous about everything and bitter
― sinister porpoise (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 15:47 (twelve years ago)
the indefensible shit he's said
"All The Indefensible Shit You've Said" was a pretty good b-side i thought
― sinister porpoise (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 15:48 (twelve years ago)
“England is a memory now,” the singer remarked, “The gates are flooded and anybody can have access to England and join in.”
just need to get my "titan of intellect" PaulTMA head on to wheedle out the non-racist meaning of a quote like this. Obviously it is very nuanced and all but hidden from the "thick as fuck" types who take this as a typical Mosleyite/UKIP/BNP type statement.

"Bengali In Platforms" goes back to 1988, so

apparently this all started in 1985

He said reggae was vile in the 80's and later tried to dismiss it as a joke as he signed to Attack records, suddenly he was a massive Trojan fan.

it's really hard for me to gauge how racist the statement "reggae is vile" was coming from Morrissey in 1985, especially considering how easy it is to loathe any popular genre of music, but I feel content labeling Morrissey a racist based on other things he's said & done

I don't think he's some far-right crank some seem eager to make him out to be. The "sub-species" comment seems the most indefensible, everything else seems to have been driven by NME which makes things sort of questionable. I understand reading "Bengali in Platforms" as racist but it's open to interpretation imho (is the narrator being patronizing, or admonishing, etc. it isn't really obvious), it's hardly "One in a Million". At any rate vilifying him only feeds into his persecution complex so keep it up guys

I don't think he's some seriously ill crank some seem eager to make him out to be. The "feeling very sick and ill today" comments seems the most indefensible, everything else seems to have been driven by NME which makes things sort of questionable.

it's okay to enjoy some of his music and still accept that he's really really racist, kids

Of course it is, but because he hasn't made a good album since the Clinton administration it's easy not to enjoy it.

> Fans on Reddit noted that after playing ‘Hand in Glove’, taken from The Smiths’ 1984 debut album, he “instantly went into talking about enemies”. In a video shared by fans on Instagram, Morrissey is seen launching into a tirade about having enemies he described as “extremely weak”.
