"Life is hard enough when you belong here" one of my fav moz lines.

Could somebody please explain to me how this is racist? When I first heard it I thought it was about the show made of Bengali Tigers in zoos/ circuses etc. The conventional wisdom is entirely different but I still don't see how it's racist?

@Xcorgi Dude, dont tell me I dunno racism muthafu%$a! Do you know what its like being a 24 year old black man done 3 tours a duty in fu%$in Baghdad?

@RideMyF150 Youre completely fucked in the head if you think Morrissey is a racist. In his song America Is Not the World he complains about the U.S not having a president who is not black, female or gay. This was before Obama got into office. Hell, Morrissey is either gay or bi himself so no, he's not a basher regarding race or otherwise.

@Xcorgi dunno dude, mighta been the fu$#in disgustin coffee here at the office...put me in a sh%$ mood
Morrisey writes songs about esoteric subjects others don't touch on. The assumption that he is racist just because the song has lines that racists will gravitate to is simplistic and imho false. It reminds me about the flack that carole king gets for writing "it felt like a kiss" You have to look beyond the obvious and use the mind you are blessed with to fuly appreciate any work of art, be it a song, a poem, a novel, a painting etc.
