Morrissey Bleats About America

Oy vey. I’m going to dissect an interview given by British singer Morrissey about Obama and America. Morrissey was the lead singer for band called “The Smiths” who were EMO before EMO was a thing. These days he advocates suicide, but lacks the courage to do it himself. Morrissey it typical of the ignorant left, which is why I'm doing this. I will present his comments in italics and then bitch-slap his idiocy below each set. Note the utter disregard of facts and logic.

And away we go!!!
Attacking Obama’s “whiteness”: Obama, is he white inside?
No, he’s red inside. I believe the exact crayon color is “Little Red Book.”
That’s a very logical question—but I think he probably is.
No, that’s called a “racist” question to question his ethnicity just because you don't like his politics. Of course, it's racist too to divide people by race, so again Morrissey is a racist. No surprise.
I can’t see him doing anything at all for the black community except warning them that they must respect the security forces.
First, you should always respect the cops. That's how you keep from getting shot. Is this news to leftists? Is that the problem? Seriously, don't piss off the guy with the gun. Secondly, what do you expect him to do? Take away the cops? That didn't work so well for the murder rate in Baltimore. Perhaps he should send in the national guard because I'm sure black people will looooove that. Or is this meant more in the idiotic sense of "why won't somebody do something.... though I have no idea what it could possibly be because I'm just whining about a problem I can't even conceive of an answer for because I only barely get what is really going on?" That? Thought so.
...the so-called security forces are the Ku Klux Klan to most black Americans.
Uh, who calls our police “security forces”? You must have mistaken us for China or Russia or Venezuela. That explains a lot.
It seems evident to me that black males are being deliberately murdered throughout America as a closing message to Obama, telling him that his presidency has meant nothing and that the division of color is now bigger than ever.
Name them. I'll bet your list stops at a handful and none of those was "deliberately" murdered. Moreover, the idea of some vast white conspiracy is ridiculous. First, if there was a conspiracy, a lot more than a couple black males would have died. There would be a leader too, but you can't name one. And if this was meant as a message to Obama, why has none of the killers given us a manifesto saying so? Not one of these people has even mentioned Obama. Further, you know nothing about race in America if you think race is a bigger issue today than it was during, say, the Civil War, Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Movement, the imposition of Affirmative Action, the LA riots. Race today is a dead issue outside of a few dozen activists and talk radio... and self-righteous foreigners. Finally, does that mean that the vast numbers of blacks who kill other blacks are sending some similar message to Obama?
Obama doesn’t see this, but if a white cop shot one of his daughters I don’t imagine he’d be willing to accept the exoneration of that white cop.
Of course he wouldn't because families never accept the exoneration of someone who has hurt a family member. That's how families are. That's why they can't serve on juries against people accused of hurting other family members... because they are irrational because they are blinded by emotion. And do you know what? I'll bet Obama would be just as outraged if the cop was... black.
I am wryly amused by all of these tough cop reality programs on American TV because it’s always white cops arresting the black or Hispanic poor, yet you don’t ever see the cops frisking a crooked lawyer or chasing a middle-class accountant who’s robbed millions from clients.
I am wryly amused by your ignorance. I can’t think of the last black or Hispanic poor person who was arrested on one of these shows. Starting in the 1980s, TV became PC and all the crime stories became about arresting crooked white lawyers and middle-class white accountants who’ve robbed (or raped) their clients. That's an easy fact to check, Suicide Boy.
The final point about Obama is that he doesn’t look overly African black. He’s as close to soft, whiteness as someone who isn’t white could get, and I often wonder if he would have been elected if he had a stronger, more African-black face? It’s a point.
Yes, it is a point. That's why Harry Reid (a Democrat) liked him so much -- that and his lack of a "Negro dialect." So I guess Harry was racist after all. You know, now that I think about it, some Republican favorites (Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Dr. Ben Carson, Herman Caine) are all rather dark with strong African features, and Harry Reid and the Democrats don't like them at all. So maybe Morrissey is right... Democrats are racists!!
Can you imagine the international stage announcing the arrival of President Trump? On the basis of his name alone he can’t be allowed to represent America.
So we should ban people named Donald or people named Trump? I do like the way you think though! Let's ban people named Hillary, Bernie and Obama too! I'll give you a list of unallowable names.
Republican states in America have higher crime rates than Democratic states...
Nope. The top ten is actually evenly split, with Democratic Washington DC holding the top spot. By and large, Democratic states have slightly higher crime rates as a group.
... and you only need watch one airing of Fox News to see the crackpot fraternity wielding their utter nonsense. They give an air of not believing it themselves, yet just yattering non-stop with the hope of sounding informed.
Hello, Pot. Meet Kettle.
I don’t think Clinton has even begun to dig into the race yet, and when she does she will gain massive support.
LOL! Ok. How many restarts count as digging in? Does 2008 count as a warm-up now? Oh and how do you explain her crashing poll numbers? Bernie Sanders passing her? The flirtation with Jo fricken Biden? Yeah, Hillary is ready to roar. (rolls eyes)
Just to be able to say or hear the words ‘the president, she’ will be a new age of enlightenment for America...
Really? Didn't you just say that white America sent out an army of cops to kill black men just to send a message to Obama that we will forever be racist. If you believe that, why do you think we'll suddenly become “enlighten” by the election of someone without a penis?
Margaret Thatcher was so abysmal that she became the first and last female prime minister. British politics will never again trust a woman because of Thatcher.
Hmm. So in Morrissey’s opinion, if one woman fails then all women will forever be presumed to be failures and are automatically disqualified? Does that strike anyone else as the ultimate in stereotyping. "If one of you is bad, then you's all bad." Yep.
As I listen to news of more nuclear weapons, fracking, further airport runways, you can only conclude that the business of politics gets further and further away from what the people want.
These are things the public wants. That's why politicians embrace them... to win votes. See how that works? And when have nuclear weapons been in the news lately? I can’t think of a single mention of nuclear weapons except for the Iranians.
What is the point of nuclear weapons... designed to destroy millions... whilst you also incinerate yourself once you press the button? It’s quite pathetic.
Oh boy. First, even if I accepted what he said, then “pathetic” would not be the word. I would probably use “horrific.” The real question though is does he even know how nuclear weapons work? You don’t incinerate yourself by pushing the button, you incinerate the other guy. And the point to nuclear weapons is to stop people from starting conventional wars, and that seems to have worked pretty well in Europe and Asia for decades.
The British government takes billions of pounds from the taxpayer in order to extend nuclear plans, whilst people die in British hospitals because there’s no money to fund their treatments.
Whoa whoa whoa! I thought the British hospital system was fantastically f**ing amazing?! Do you really mean there's shortage in British hospitals? Sacre bleu! By the way, the reason the British are spending money to extend nuclear plants, which are not weapons by the way – not sure he realizes that, is because people like Morrissey waged such a war against energy in the UK that once the nuclear plants stop, those vaunted yet broke hospitals will be useless because they will have no electricity. Funny how that works, isn't it?
The scientists who devise nuclear weapons are the world’s most evil people...
More evil than singers who advocate suicide? More evil than serial killers? Cannibals? More people have been killed by Islamic terrorists than nuclear bombs. Will you condemn them now?
...yet if I accidentally ran a child over I’d be sent to prison for six years. It’s funny how arbitrary the law is when it comes to killing.
No, that's not arbitrary. To the contrary, that is a measured and logical legal system. What's more, the law is capable of doing multiple things at once so the fact that there might be more evil people than you does not excuse your own crimes. Also, why is it that leftists always want to punish people who create things rather than the person use them to do the evil? Also, why stop at guns (or nuclear weapons) anyway? Maybe we should ask ourselves if song writers or videogame makers contribute to violence.. or say suicide... and then arrest those evil bastards for that violence.

For an EMO with such strong opinions, Morrissey sure doesn’t care about facts and doesn’t he have any ability to employ logic, does he? Welcome to the modern left.

Thoughts?

Geez, what decade was that interview from? If it weren't for references to.fracking and Donald Trump running for preezy, I'd think you picked up an old copy of LIFE from the dentist's office. Has the man opened a newspaper or looked at a TV in the last 30 years?

Kit said...

Tyranmax,

It was a few days ago.

Rustbelt said...

First, the best evidence against this limey's theory of a vast right-wing conspiracy is the fact that I'm not running anything! (yet) Seriously, if we had that kind of power, I'd probably be boss of the Keystone State. (And then I'd promptly sell it to the highest bidder and move to a warmer climate.)

Second, this bloody twit needs to catch up on 'Cops,' (which can easily be viewed roughly 16 hours out of the day on SpikeTV). Last dozen or so episodes I saw involved America's finest putting white trash in their place. Kind of a theme these days...and not just in West Virginia! (God help us.) Plus, on its the brother show, 'Jail,' I'd bet at least 75% of the suspects being processed are of non-minority variety.

And third, everyone here (OK, not everyone; just self-righteous jerks at Pitt, Penn ,Carlow, and Temple along with legions of union drones), thought the words, 'the attorney general, she' would be a big leap forward. Corruption charges later, not so much. Hell, rumor has it AG Kane got desperate and partook of the Philly tradition of tossing a penny on Ben Franklin's grave for good luck in her trial. If the grapevine is to be believed, Ben rose from his grave, grabbed the penny, threw it back at her and roared "BOOO!!!" (Alleged witnesses say he didn't bother to call out for brains, as Kane has none; although, he may have grabbed a smartphone and just called Domino's, like all other living dead these days.)

FYI: I wonder if girly-man considers it enlightening that Kane is being prosecuted by a- gasp!- FEMALE district attorney from Montco. Ah, probably not. She's GOP, which means she turned in her gender card.

AndrewPrice said...

tryanmax, Isn't that the truth! Pop star who wasn't relevant since the 1980's whines about things that haven't happened since the 1980's. Yep.

tryanmax said...

Kit, I figured as much, but his taking points are as stale as any songs he ever recorded. I had to check while I was reading that I wasn't wearing flannel and sporting a pony tail (we all made mistakes in the 90s).

AndrewPrice said...

Rustbelt, I find this kind of "thinking" to be very common on the left. He bases his views on how he wants them to be to fit his particular pet peeves. Hence, he KNOWS that racist white cops are hunting black men in America so it must be true. And since he hears others with the same delusions repeat the lie, he now knows it as a fact. The conspiracy stuff just slides in there as a natural by product of low-grade paranoia and an inability to tell television from reality. "Heck, it was true on Law and Order, so it must be true in real life!"

As for Cops, you are right. Most of those idiots are white trash who get picked up for domestic crimes or DUI. But if you look at all the scripted shows, you will see wall to wall white male doctors, lawyers, priests, judges and accountants as the villains, whether the crime is rape, murder, petty theft, or white collar crime.

I always find it rather stupid that leftists put minorities on a pedestal when it comes to election. "If only we elected a gay black woman, then the world would be awash in unicorns and they would fart world peace!!" They seem to forget that women are just as rotten as men and minorities are just as rotten as whites. I'm not opposed to a female president at all, but I'm under no delusion that it will make any difference except to give leftists something to masturbate about.

BevfromNYC said...

"...women are just as rotten as men."

Say what??? Only a "maaaaan" would say that. I happen to think women are perfect...okay, not all women...namely Hillary Clinton...but other than tha...no, you are right. Women are just as rotten as men.

Anyway, my, my, my...is Morrissey about the release an album or something? I cannot think of anything that would account for his out and out racist hysteria other than needing the publicity.

AndrewPrice said...

Bev, I have no idea why Morrissey suddenly got this interview. I'm not aware of anything involving him, though I don't really follow his career.

In terms of women and men, I find it funny whenever people try to assume that some other group would be better humans. All humans are subject to the same flaws, the same negative emotions and traits, etc. Of course, we can also rise above those and do great things, but again, that's all because of the individual person not the gender or race.

AndrewPrice said...

P.S. How was the US Open? Did you win? :D

BevfromNYC said...

Sadly, I was disqualified from playing in the tournament when I forgot to take my racquet (or "racket" if you prefer) to the stadium. But the US Open people were very gracious and allowed me watch from the stands! ;-D

AndrewPrice said...

That was nice of them, Bev! Better luck next year! ;-D

BevfromNYC said...

Oh, and yeah...Morrissey is on tour right now and probably not selling enough tickets...

EPorvaznik said...

Russell Brand’s touring and pontificating as Morrissey these days?

If he’s unwilling to follow through with suicide, assisted or otherwise, I’m OK with girlfriend being in a coma. Was that homophobic of me? Oh, well …

Critch said...

Who is he again? (and I mean it, who the Hell is he?)

AndrewPrice said...

Eric, Excellent comparison! Morrissey and Brand are almost identical in terms of politics and noxiousness.

I almost called this article Morrissey In A Coma. LOL!

AndrewPrice said...

Critch, He's a minor new wave pop star from the 1980s as the lead singer of a band named "The Smiths" (big hit - Girlfriend In A Coma) Since then, he's gone solo, faded away, and spent his time protesting everything. But for our purposes, he's your typical, uninformed liberal moron who doesn't care about facts or logic but loves to attack us from a position of extreme ignorance.

BevfromNYC said...

EP - I think Russell Brand was shocked that he didn't really change the course of the UK elections And in his delusional mind, it was the evil establishment media that marginalized his message as the conservatives pick up more government seats.

AndrewPrice said...

Bev, I think Brand really did think he was going to win the UK elections for the left. He did seem utterly shocked when they lost. Didn't he even declare that he was done with politics?

Rustbelt said...

"Didn't he even declare that he was done with politics?"

Andrew, we can only hope that- for once- he told the truth.

AndrewPrice said...

Rustbelt, I wish, but I doubt it. Just like none of the leftists here actually moved to Canada after Bush got re-elected, I suspect Brand's tantrum was just for show.

Oh, and he DID say it! LOL! LINK

Rustbelt said...

"We're gonna talk about what we feel!"

Ah, libs substituting feelings for logic and intelligence. Gotta admire the consistency- not!
And would it kill him to not film himself in the bedroom? While not as terrible a thought as Hill- [censored], still, please, no more!

Kit said...

"Didn't he even declare that he was done with politics?"

He seemed to. He posted a youtube video where, from what I heard, he looked shell-shocked.

BevfromNYC said...

In the longer version, Brand says that he'll be fine because he's rich and actually will benefit from the tax breaks...yeah, well, he should take all that extra money and give it to the poor people.

Kit said...

Also, re Russell Brand, a bit of a flashback from The Guardian: "Russell Brand has endorsed Labour —And Tories Should be Worried."

And how did that end?

EPorvaznik said...

"How Soon Is Now?" another big alt-rock hit ... and featured on the Wedding Singer soundtrack.

EPorvaznik said...

Be thankful that's all we're seeing from the room of a sex addict.

Rustbelt said...

Still more than I needed to see, EP. Gonna dunk my head in some ice water now. And maybe vomit afterwards.

Critch said...

Hmm, in the 80s I was wearing 3 piece suits and day trading commodities,,,,I was still listening to AC/DC and the Ramones however..the New Wave stuff didn't do too much for me.

AndrewPrice said...

Critch, I liked almost anything in the 1980s musically speaking, but Morrissey's depressing songs I did not.

AC/DC is awesome!

AndrewPrice said...

Eric, A lot of kids were into them, that was for sure. I wasn't.

EPorvaznik said...

I dig Johnny Marr's guitar playing and maybe three songs on the greatest hits. Was too busy otherwise enjoying life in the 80s, and had The Cure if I wanted to feel mopey.
