Amy Winehouse's Nursery Rhyme

Leaked this week by the News of the World, a home video of singer Amy Winehouse singing a racist take on a nursey rhyme.
She is a drug addict and a spoilt rock star who has let winning 5 Grammys go to her head, the lyrics:
“Blacks, pakis, gooks and nips are deaf and dumb and blind and gay”.
The thing that bugs me about this is the whole Amy Winehouse media/people obsession. Why is everything she does such as vomit on her beehive or scratch her butt in the NEWS all the time?She has shown by her filthy, drugg-addled, undignified, vulgar behavior that she is not a person to be revered but the press follow her toilet duties all the time.Amy Winehouse partying, scrapping, punching snorting, fainting is not news! But as she seems to be such an important British figurehead and institution my argument it that it does matter if she is spouting drugged up, bigoted racism.
Ofcourse it matters, there are loads of talented musicians but she has a break and wins loads of awards not just for good music but because she embodies the whole ‘package’ of representing our soicety today. Otherwise we wouldn’t have an appetite for the person in our news all the time.She and her music are thought of as original and unique because she is a Jewish laddette songwriter who sings like a black woman and whose tunes sound like jazz and soul and rock. Not a dollybird mouthing the words a man wrote for her but an angry, passionate ETHNIC woman who broke the boundaries of RACE in her music and wrote original music.
So the public laps this up. Her trials and tribulations are updated frequently and fans chant ‘we love you amy get well soon’. She’s the epitomy of the over excess, over-consume, over-ego, over-pitying, over-self-indulgent 21st century demons the multi-cultural western society is wrestling with.The this racist, immature rant of hers is leaked and so many people, other ethnics minorities( like her!!) feel so cheated and sick of this attitude that demeans people.
Apparently some east end jews can be just as racist towards minorities as whites. This is strange, you would think that the mistreatment of minorities by the Nazis would have had an impact.Many people have defended her saying that it’s not an issue. But it is, it means more than just her repulsive and ignorant outlook it tells our society to look in the mirror and see the festering, behind closed doors tension and racism bubbling beneath the surface. It’s the laughing, belittling, humilating and seeing minorities as inferiors that hurts people and causes the rifts that we see today…to the extreme disaffected Muslim asian men turning to terrorism.
To me this home video meant alot, people have commented ‘typical white British attitude’, it is not but it is more quietly common than the political correctness of society allows. In a sense, even worse is the norm for ‘gay’ to be used by nearly everyone as meaning daft or crap. It lost its orginal meaning and now it seems its lost its second meaning, maybe homsexuals need a new name without the constant, childish references.What Amy should realise is that many people sadly would include her in the group ’paki’, paki short for pakistan..is meant to be a name of contempt for any asians, indians, middle-easterns that should happen to think they are really British. Maybe that’s why she was drawn to black people and black music…because they felt more accessible to her, the way she feels. Gooks and Nips, I’d never heard of before. But Nips is for Japanese people and Gooks for the Vietnamese before they were killed in the war. The insult of her singing this rhyme is more than a joke, it actually has roots of racist history.
Has she ever been called a big-nosed Kike, Jude or Yid? And has it hurt her? I expect so. Amy is showing classic bully behavior. I don’t agree with people who say she is ugly. She looks ugly sometimes because she is fucked up on drugs. But when she is scrubbed up she actually has very striking jewish, middle eastern looks. But these features are not accepted by alot of white british people as classic british looks therefore she is ‘ugly’. But i doubt they would even notice her features are different in Israel. Therefore, she faces a kind of racism all the time but her looks have also made her ’special’ and been an element of her fame. I doubt she has looked deeply into it. Her insecurity has meant she jumped at the opportunity to take the mickey out of other ethnics to big herself up. A ‘i’m one of you white people, i’m white, i’m white! This smells of junkie inferiority complex.
She should know better. But she does not care. She made some mumbling babyish apology at her door to the paps nad some damage-control pictures with blacks. It has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media even though thousands of people are debating about it.
It seems apparent that many media outlets apart fromt the news of the world and individuals posting on youtube and bloggers, do not think it is news either.
The BBC did not think it news BUT they think her FAINTING and nothing happened is news. THE BBC!!
Something is screwed up just not right here.
Maybe those Zionist conspiracies have a grain of truth to them after all…
