[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

The video for Florence And The Machine’s new single ‘No Light, No Light’ is at the centre of a race row after its makers were accused of espousing ‘white supremacist’ views.

A piece entitled ‘White Supremacy all dressed up in a pop video is still White Supremacy’, posted on Racialicious.com, has suggested that the video is packed full of “racist imagery”.

Directed by Icelandic duo Arni & Kinski, the video sees Florence Welch pursued by a man in black body paint, practising ‘voodoo’. Racialicious writes that the video is guilty of “glorifying the white female central character as representing goodness, all while vilifying the evil dark skinned heathen Other".

they could have at least put one black kid in the church then they wouldn't have had any of this

i agree with the yt guy who said its just imagery like the dark represents evil and the light represents good and they just used skin color to show it actually that is quite racist lmaonade

[GypsyGoth]

It looks like a chinese man with black paint on him, she's trying to offend everyone

[Locke.]

Lock the witch up

[Novo]

[spitfire]

Who cares. I thought we had freedom of speech.

[Black Dagger]

Some people who 'brand' racist when it's not the case need stabbing in the face.

Beyond annoying.

[Benjamin]

I hate people that look for racism in anything, it winds me up. People pull that card too easily nowadays and get away with doing so.

[Scarlett.]

The fact that the website accusing them of it is called "Racialicious.com" makes me just wanna punch someone in the face
