Was/Is Morrissey Racist?

^^^ BLACK HOLE OF META

Haha.

David Quantick's not a pathetic old hack who helps make the Radio 2 Comedy Hour about as funny as *insert concentration camp of your choice*.

i haven't hearrd that particular thing, but quantick is funny.

Was/Is Tuomas ageist? :)

id respect him more if he just admitted he was a racist. or just knew that he was one.

Yeah, I've got a lot of respect for self-professed racists too.

christ.

"Yeah, I've got a lot of respect for self-professed racists too."

good to see im not alone.

hang on

that picture is something else, though, isn't it? makes me feel freakin' old.

he buys and sells blacks as slaves, but does that make him racist? dunno

Oh goodness. Having conservative views on immigration is not the same as being a racist. It usually means that you're overly attached to romantic notions of when/where you grew up, and that you're not very good at coping with change.

and that youre racist

If Morrissey has a conservative view on immigration, I would say he is a racist. But I cannot quite see he has expressed anything that could undeniably be seen as an attack on immigration from non-Western countries. "Bengali In Platforms" may be interpreted that way, but his way of explaining the lyrics makes sort of sense too.

"Hang The DJ" is surely not racist, as no attack on a particular genre of music could possibly be seen as racist unless the attacker expresses the reason why he does is that it is made by music of another race. Plus most DJs in the UK of the 80s were white anyway.

Made by PEOPLE of another race even.

space race

hoy, morrissey: i think you're a racist cunt. so sue me, you fucking dick.

Singer Morrissey has stepped in to save an anti-racism music festival from possible financial ruin.

The Rock Against Racism concert is taking place in London on Sunday and organisers said it was facing a £75,000 deficit after a main sponsor withdrew.

But the former Smiths singer has made a personal donation and rallied together his management, promoters and booking agency to help make up the shortfall.

The star said it was a "historic event" that "must be allowed to go ahead".

He hailed the free event's "important, anti-racist, message".

'Generous contribution'

"This is something I am committed to and we appreciate everyone coming together so quickly to make it happen," he said.

Organisers Martin Smith and Lee Billingham said they contacted Morrissey and other artists after the sponsorship fell through.

"We're extremely grateful for Morrissey's generous financial contribution," they said.

Headliners at the concert in Victoria Park include The Good The Bad & The Queen, Jay Sean, Hard-Fi, The View and Get Cape Wear Cape Fly.

Morrissey recently won an apology from Word magazine for suggesting he was a racist and a hypocrite.

He is also suing the NME after it quoted him as saying Britain had lost its identity due to high levels of immigration.

I presume this was for the David Quantick review. They didn't print the apology in the latest issue.

Racism RIP

HE CAN'T BE RACIST, HE HAS MONEY

ONLY POOR SKINHEADS ARE RACIST

^^^ pre-emptive strike

La Mozza adds his two quid:

"This is a historic event spreading an important, anti-racist message so it must be allowed to go ahead. Love Music Hate Racism got in touch and explained that the NME had pulled its support, possibly as a result of their association with me, and asked if I could help as they had not been able to replace them. This is something I am committed to and we appreciate everyone coming together so quickly to make it happen."

Well now.

A historic event.

With Get Cape Wear Cape Fly.

Fuck off you Irish cunt.

I hope Mike Joyce turns up on stage demanding his share of the money.

Racism RIP

Come on, there's a black drummer in The Good The Bad & The Queen, barriers will be broken down.

That means nowt. A Certain Ratio had a black drummer but they were Nazis with that name, right?

So I broke into the palace
With a sponge and a rusty Rohaldino bottle opener
She said "I know you and you cannot sing"
I said "thats nothing, you should see the reaction this got on ILX"

^ I lolled

hoy, morrissey: i think you're awesome now. i've changed every opinion i ever held of you.

in fairness: at least he's putting his money where his mouth is. it's a gesture, of sorts, innit?

shame it's too little, too late, but hey.

Dom Passantino, pretty much, personifies everything that has gone wrong with immigration in the UK.

OTM, you should see the fucking state he made of my house when I hired him to do the wiring

i don't like morrissey so yes, he is.

So much for history making:

James Illman, a 24-year-old designer from Ilford, said: "I’m here to see Hard-Fi. And because I hate racism, obviously." He did not think music could be as radical as it was in the punk era. "Nothing is original any more,” he said. “And everyone’s more relaxed."

He will vote for "Mr Boris, because he looks like my brother and because I don’t like Labour".

Hmm, this is the sort of story the NME should have coverage of.

Wonder how they covered it?

Morrissey hates the NME more than he hates black people.

Conversely, the NME probably hate black people more than they hate Morrissey.

One of Dirty Pretty Things is a black. FACE.

A number of today's most promising bands teamed up to form a super group in honour of Love Music Hate Racism.

Members of BABYSHAMBLES, REVEREND AND THE MAKERS, THE VIEW and THE NOISETTES and an ex ARCTIC MONKEY all joined forces to perform a live set at the carnival in London's Victoria Park.

According to NME magazine, the collective sand hits including HELINSKI's AMPERSOUND and THE VIEW's SAME JEANS, before closing the set with a rendition of BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN's hit DANCING IN THE DARK.

THAT'LL show the BNP who's boss.

As Tony Benn, the former Labour MP, took to the stage, Rain’s pal, a DJ called FX, asked: "Who’s that? A politician or something?"
