My first reaction was that he should be booted from school - but after reading the article I agree this could be a teachable moment.

Hard to believe that this woman is a racist!

Re: No, No, Don't Worry. Racism is Pretty Much Over.
The secretary of our department when we lived in NC was a wonderful old woman originally from Georgia. Very sweet and remarkably kind to the Boss and I (she actually sold us a car cheap when ours died). But she told a faculty member that "swans and crows don't belong in each other's nests."oliver wrote: ↑07 May 2019, 4:30pmAnd a definitely not racist follow-up from councilman Jim Cleveland:BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑07 May 2019, 3:05pmHard to believe that this woman is a racist!

That statement is most likely true being Swans and Crows are different species of Birds. However all Humans are the same species.

Morrissey is just an embarrassing clown. For a man who wrote some beautiful songs, he doesn't half talk a load of shit.

Re: No, No, Don't Worry. Racism is Pretty Much Over.
The curiosity is what happened. It seems more likely than not that he's always held these views, but they were either less developed or held back. Has he been swept up in the fascist and xenophobic wave or is his openness the result of something personal (e.g., his health scare from a few years back). But he's out and proud now and stands with the bullies and bigots we all thought he opposed back in the 80s.WestwayKid wrote: ↑25 Jun 2019, 1:25pmYup.
