Dhoni's English Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 So Morrissey USED to be your musical hero, but now you think he's an idiot! Furthermore, what Morrissey said is not offensive or "racist." It is an opinion. Folks are allowed to have one without it being sensationalized and called "racist." First of all everybody in at NME and Question Time needs to take your head out of those PC clouds, wake up and realize that what Morrissey said is not a racist comment! I have no idea what kind of a world you folks must live in - I am starting to think it must be a whole lot of rainbows and butterflies. How can you use the word RACIST regarding what Morrissey said? How is that about race? WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH RACE? Is anybody paying attention? Perhaps Tim Jonze and Conor McNicholas need to be shipped off to SUDAN to do some journalism on the situation there... then perhaps they could use their beloved word RACISM. WAKE UP NME!!!! REAL RACISM HAPPENS AND PEOPLE are sometimes even MURDERED when it happens... and here you go throwing that word so freely about. You abuse the word and to me THAT IS DISRESPECTFUL OF BLACK SUDANESE and what they are facing right now... go to SUDAN for a few years and cover the situation there, then come back and interview Morrissey and try to tell me he is racist. You are acting like spoiled brats who know nothing about the situations that happen in the world. And since you think that immigration is a race issue, I will also apply the comparison to cultures that are abused (not race, culture - those are two different things folks;) why don't you go to TIBET and cover the Chinese government mowing down entire monasteries with machine guns? Why don't you go to India and cover the Hindu's and Muslims setting one another's trains on fire? I was walking on the shores of the Ganges in Haridwar one morning and the Muslims had taken the hooves of cows and other slaughtered animals and littered the Ganges riverside with them on the dawn of Kumba Mela, the holiday when the vegetarian Hindu's bathe in that sacred river for spiritual cleansing... Have you ever seen that? Have you seen their faces in the morning when they come to bathe? Apparently not or else you would never be tossing that word around so lightly! Why don't you do something about the situation I saw in the airports of Dhaka in Bangladesh, where thousands line up to board airplanes to work as slaves for Saudi Arabian oil families because their lands have been flooded due to the cutting down of all the trees in the Nepalese Himalayas after they were bought by the Russians? What do you really know about people suffering because of where they were born, what religion they are, what colour their skin is, what their countries economic conditions are? Apparently not much or else you would not be throwing such accusations around so lightly. Kanye West had a good reason to say "George Bush does not care about black people." NME just sound like a bunch of spoiled brats who are throwing around a very serious word - it appears to me you folks live in LA LA land and you are bunch of spoiled twerps trying to look and sound cool and heroic if you think what Morrissey said is RACIST. UTTERLY pathetic, political, apparently sheltered BRATS. I believe that certain people should learn the definition of Racism and I think they are the ones who owe an apology to both Morrissey and to the oppressed in this world... for they have managed to abuse and disrespect both of them in an attempt at popularity and political significance (which is an oxy moron by the way.) __________________ LOVE MORRISSEY HATE NME Rant over Maggot brain.
maggot_brain Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 I'd write a reply if I could be bothered. The fact is I just don't care what Morrissey says or does anymore and the 'racism' allegation was flippant and based entirely on a Yahoo News post. His time has been and gone.
maggot_brain Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 I agree with you that the NME is an absolute joke now. Look how much coverage it gives to a drug-addled Indie Kid with a supermodel ex-girlfriend. This is all I'm going to say on the matter.
Dhoni's English Posted December 1, 2007 Author Posted December 1, 2007 Fair enough. But when you say his time has been and gone. Let's see how many venues have empty seats when he tours the UK (hopefully next year). I wonder if he'll sing 'Roy's Keen' at the Sunderland gig? He's actually suing the NME for this article, so I wouldn't believe all (or if anything) that we read anymore.
