Amy Winehouse apologizes for racist rant song
http://www.nme.com/news/amy-winehouse/37210


Amy Winehouse apologised today (June 9) for singing a racist slur-filled song, which was captured on video by her husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

The singer reportedly told paparazzi outside her London home today that she was sorry, reports the Associated Press. She also denied that her singing of the song made her a racist.

"I don't want to play anything down, but I'm the least racist person going," Winehouse said.

The video, which appears to have been filmed quite some time ago, appeared on The News Of The World this weekend. It also shows the singer in a drug den surrounded by drug-taking paraphernalia.

Meanwhile, the troubled singer's husband admitted committing assault and perverting the course of justice in London today (June 9), as previously reported.

1. Well, you know what they say...
"Well-behaved women rarely make history."

7. You have Jiffy Pop in your sig line.
Is there a reason you have the worst popcorn ever created in your sig line?

Is it possible to make Jiffy Pop without burning it?

12. Winehouse is scarcely making history, though...
The music industry has seen plenty of drug-addled, marginally talented skanks come and go.

Even if she was making history, it would be for all of the wrong reasons, and hardly anything to admire.

2. She seriously needs help
and so does her husband. I watched a home video of them and all I could think was "Oh my god! I'm watching a trainwreck!"


Khash.

4. Whether she's truly a racist person or not, this would seem to be the least of her worries.
She's got "crack/meth casualty" written all over her.

6. I wasted the time necessary to read the lyrics to some of her songs.
Ban the anti-society vermin with good hair from everywhere else too.

9. Bump

15. It's a stupid kid's song
being hammered out on crack and put up to it doesn't make her a racist in my books.
