Comments on: Is Morrissey a racist? http://www.wfpk.org/2007/12/10/is-morrissey-a-racist/ Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:05:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: CJB http://www.wfpk.org/2007/12/10/is-morrissey-a-racist/comment-page-1/#comment-3 CJB Tue, 11 Dec 2007 15:36:18 +0000 http://www.wfpk.org/?p=85#comment-3 I don't even see how this is an issue. Morrissey has openly opposed racism for more than two decades, and his position is obviously reflected in his statements, his actions (see Love Music Hate Racism campaign), and especially his art--if anyone pays attention. Morrissey and NME have long been adversarial because of his denunciation of the mainstream music industry and press, including the irresponsibility of journalists pushing a marketing agenda. It is more irresponsible journalism to use the highly inflammatory word "racism" in the context of an assertion on cultural identity... or what might be construed a nationalist statement, not racist. In addition, while it's an easy issue to target, sexuality has nothing to do with this article. I don’t even see how this is an issue.
