Morrissey saves anti-racism gig
edonline
Singer Morrissey has stepped in to save an anti-racism music festival from
possible financial ruin.
The Rock Against Racism concert is taking place in London on Sunday and
organisers said it was facing a £75,000 deficit after a main sponsor
withdrew.
But the former Smiths singer has made a personal donation and rallied
together his management, promoters and booking agency to help make up the
shortfall.
The star said it was a "historic event" that "must be allowed to go ahead".
He hailed the free event's "important, anti-racist, message".
'Generous contribution'
"This is something I am committed to and we appreciate everyone coming
together so quickly to make it happen," he said.
Organisers Martin Smith and Lee Billingham said they contacted Morrissey and
other artists after the sponsorship fell through.
"We're extremely grateful for Morrissey's generous financial contribution,"
they said.
Headliners at the concert in Victoria Park include The Good The Bad & The
Queen, Jay Sean, Hard-Fi, The View and Get Cape Wear Cape Fly.
Morrissey recently won an apology from Word magazine for suggesting he was a
racist and a hypocrite.
He is also suing the NME after it quoted him as saying Britain had lost its
identity due to high levels of immigration.

Again, it shows that these so called "good White people" are few and
far between.
Kudos to Alanis for being a high tone Caucasian.

So what? That's the standard accusation the 90% of Caucasians make
when someone points out the evilness of their behavior. MOST white
people are totally brain damaged. Just move on fellow and don't let
these Satanic monsters break your stride. :-)
SATAN HAS PLANS FOR THESE TYPES OF WHITE FOLKS, AND CAUCASIANS aren't
going to be happy when they see what those plans are!

Thanks for the correction. :-) It's good to see someone come forward
with the facts for a change.

"[W]hen you start bringing up things that have nothing to do with the
candidate
and nothing to do with the issues, that's race baiting, and that's exactly
what it is, just like Willie Horton was race baiting so many years ago... I
tell you, you know, there's a lot of difference between the Republicans and
the Democrats on issues, but the biggest issue of all is we don't use this
kind of stuff. We never have used this kind of stuff, and we're not going
to start now." ---DNC Chief Howard Dean on Obama and Wright
