…eh? who is the apologist? Certainly not the author of this piece

Unbroken1 Mr C probably shouldn’t have used the C word, but “DJ Chloe Harris” does sound like an utter loon of a leftist:

"The altercation began on June 20 when Harris (aka Raica) accused West of being a racist. As Harris describes it, West wrote a Facebook post asking for more funding for the UK police. She replied, “Fuck the police” mainly in jest, but also with a degree of seriousness. “Then he said only uneducated people or wannabe bad boys say ‘fuck the police,’ which seemed like dog-whistle racism to me,” Harris says in an email interview. “So I told him so and said that the police are murdering racism scum and anyone who supports them is, too. Then he said he has a cousin in the police and I’m a stupid vile cunt, and it all kicked off from there.”

      I always thought Chloe came across as a decent person. Great DJ as well.

      hugopal Thanks for the context. Yet another mentally retarded dj

        …as it happens I recall the spat, and the whole episode was pretty embarrassing, the degree to which it was specifically directed to her because she is a woman is perhaps questionable, (to be honest I thought the ‘fuck the police’ comment was unnecessarily flippant and provocative), but he did repeatedly call her a cunt, questioned her musical ability despite knowing nothing about her, and encouraged all of his followers to pile-on.

        In short, he’s a bit of a prick who is probably not best poised to lecture other people on how to behave (despite his own unfortunate experiences).

          I still buy records off of her. She’s appears to have had an atrocious year, not that that matters. She’s easy to deal with and seems totally normal to me. I’m inclined to trust her take.

            …she was out of order (IMO), but his reaction was worse.

            zackster I’m inclined to trust her take

            Okay, you believe how she portrayed what happened.

            So then how can you claim she “seems totally normal” despite her proudly admitting to spouting trash like this :

            “the police are murdering racism scum and anyone who supports them is, too”

            ?

                …this isn’t really about her though Hugo is it?

                  Unbroken1 and encouraged all of his followers to pile-on.

                  Not condoning that either, but as a separate question what do you think he should have done when she tried to publicly create a smear campaign claiming he was “racist” despite there seeming to be no valid grounds for the accusation?

                    zackster I still buy records off of her.

                    Zackster, you know the drill.

                    KLANG it up brother!

                        …read my previous post. His reaction was disproportionate irregardless of what was said, ergo, he’s a bit of a prick that shouldn’t be taking the moral high ground.

                          hugopal well, as you well know, that is a sentiment I whole heartedly agree with, so…

                              Millsy she was on GU and used to post mini mixes on progsounds

                                Ah yes. Was going out with Cul. Was always sound in my book.

                                  zackster the police in the UK are shall we say a little less aggressive. They don’t even carry guns unless they are anti terrorism. Pretty sure Mr C’s cousin would be British
