  1. Sister I'm a Poet

    The Guardian: "‘An astounding rush of real-time creativity’: 40 years of the Smiths’ Peel Sessions" by Michael Hann (May 31, 2023)

    Practicing racism is of course worse. But from the replies on this thread, the message is clear: it is worse to point out a racist statement than to make a racist statement. And that's the crux of the problem.

    He could have easily said "China is incredibly inhumane in how they treat animals". Instead, he said "The Chinese are a subspecies", language that is incredibly offensive and explicitly racist. Bigmouth strikes again indeed. Y'all are tying yourself in knots trying to defend the indefensible.

    "that can be ranked as inferior or superior" is the part that you are choosing to ignore. Do you believe that some racial groups are superior or inferior? And how do you think a Chinese person would feel about Morrissey's comment? I work with Chinese immigrants on a daily basis, so I am...

    You're missing a key element of racism throughout history. From the first paragraph of the Wikipedia entry on racism, "The ideology underlying racist practices often assumes that humans can be subdivided into distinct groups that are different in their social behavior and innate capacities and...

    The context doesn't change anything. His statement was the textbook definition of a racist statement. If you don't see that, you have a problem.

    Isn't it possible to be offended by the cruel treatment of animals in China and other countries (it's not like factory farming in the West is an ethical model), and also be offended by Morrissey’s remark, which simply came off as incredibly racist however you try to spin it. It was only about...

    Thanks for sharing. I hadn't read the article and agree that it is lousy criticism (NOTE: I haven't read Morrissey's novel). But I don't read this as slagging Morrissey for being gay, just for being creepy. I disagree with him here. Also, he doesn't slag Morrissey for hating Britain, but for...

    Please share the article(s) in which "Michael Hann previously slagged Morrissey off in the Guardian for being gay & hating Britain". I'd love to read it.

    There quotes stand for themselves. I've read the whole context of them and, there's no defending them without tying yourself in knots.

    It's amazing to me that folks take such offense at people who write Morrissey off as someone with unfortunate views, but take no offense when Morrissey writes off reggae as "vile", the Chinese as a "subspecies" and Berlin as "the rape capital of the world". I'm still a massive fan of Moz, but I...

    Beautiful article. Much better than that sycophantic pap by Fiona Dodwell.
