Morrissey weighs in on U.S. politics, says Barack Obama “seems to be white inside”

‘World Peace is None of Your Business’, but absolutely every other societal and political issue is Morrissey’s game, if he wants to talk about it.

In a new interview with Alternative Nation, he was asked for his opinion on both Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton. With the latter, he once criticised her policies, but he’d previously backed Obama. On this occasion, he came out against the President’s actions post-Ferguson.

“Obama has mystified me because he doesn’t appear to support black people when they need it most… Ferguson being an obvious example. If Michael Brown had instead been one of Obama’s daughters, I don’t think Obama would be insisting that the nation support the so-called security forces,” he said.

“How can they be called security forces if they make the people feel insecure? Obama seems to be white inside. There is an obvious racial division in America and it’s exploding and Obama doesn’t ever support the innocent black people who are murdered by white police officers who are never held accountable. You would expect him to be more understanding of what it means to be black. But so far, he hasn’t been. There’s no point in continually saying that we must support the police when it is obvious to the entire world that the police in America are out of control.”

In contrast to his opinions on Obama, Moz offered his support to Hilary, despite comparing her to other female politicians for no apparent reason. “When you look at other women in or around the American political circuit - Michelle Bachmann, Ann Coutler, Sarah Palin - they are all horrific spikes in the forehead,” he said. “Yet Hillary now seems calm and measured. But a female president won’t necessarily change anything because, as with Margaret Thatcher, if it goes wrong, the people would never again allow a woman to take the lead. Thatcher actually obliterated any hope for women in British politics, as recent history has shown, and of course, she was actually fired from her own position by her own party.”

Thanks for that, Morrissey.
