"When they have an anti-social belief, however, and DO act on it, then I judge them by their actions, not by their beliefs."

They are acting on their beliefs LH - they are advocating racism and discrimination and denying the holocaust and the place in society of many of my friends and countrymen.

These people must be shouted down. They weren't in pre-war Germany and that led to the holocaust, they weren't in the US in the middle of last century and they lynched innocent people on the basis of their skin colour.


Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

This is very serious, and we will not allow these people to hijack our music and culture to achieve heir abhorrent ends. This is not happening here.
