Bloc Party's Kele Slams Florence Welch For 'No Light, No Light' Video

Bloc Party singer Kele Okereke has criticised Florence Welch for the the band's latest video 'No Light, No Light'.

The video was yesterday (November 22) slammed by fans for its apparent racist subtext, which features Florence Welch hanging off a city skyscraper while a man stabs a voodoo doll that resembles her and then is rescued by all-white Christian boys choir.

On his blog, Kele wrote a post about the video entitled 'people i dont like… florence welch'.

He continued: ''now i dont know if this girl is a “white supremacist” as this article claims but in this day and age a video like this seems pretty stupid. thoughts?''

A number of fans on YouTube also posted their thoughts on underlying theme for the video.

One fan, chinklicious posted: "Art can be offensive too. The black man as a mysterious voodoo artist, a bag over his head so he is dehumanized...t he black man chasing the white woman who falls into the safe hands of a gaggle of white school children while the black offender is shrouded in dark shadows.

"If this isn't subtle (or not so subtle) racism then I don't know what is. This is the kind of stuff that people watch and subconsciously internalize, and is ultimately projected as outwards racism."
