Deep Thoughts

[Interviewer/surveyer]

Would you listen to and promote a really talented, great band if they were openly KKK members and hated not only black people but Muslims and Latinos?

I would.

[willfellmarsy]

I'd promote them even if they weren't talented...just joshing but it depends on what their music incorporated. If the lyrics are all about killing Muslims, Latinos, Jews, etc, I probably wouldn't because it's boring. But if they were openly that way but their music seperated itself from that i would.

[Ghoul Hustler]

I definitely would.

[kattunlover69]

i promote arghoslent...and im black..so yes i would....

[repcak]

nope, i won't.

[Kage]

Chances are anyone who joins the KKK isn't going to be making music I'm interested in.

Yes.

But I'd download all their albums to make up for promoting them

[PIGS(1 different one)]

[UmphreysHead]

Oh god yes, if not for the music then just for the pure comical aspect of it.

[RiceMonster]

I refuse to listen to bands that are not affiliated with the KKK

[FatalEnergy]

Ditto.


Slave Whipping Blasphemy should be the new Kiss. We need action figures.

what are some other good racist bands?

[1338 h4x0r]

Geimhre, definitely

[McP3000]

Burzum and most black metal

[1338 h4x0r]

Ancient Rites are kind of racist sometimes, what with lyrics like


Azure eyed and golden haired
Forth the knights templar fared
While above troops devoted
Heraldic banners floated



I think they chickened out on becoming full-blown racists

[FreeSmells]

Probably not, racism isn't that funny to me.

[1338 h4x0r]

Racism is INCREDIBLY funny

[Det_Nosnip]

Hmm...tough call. A similar dilemma is often made over Herbert von Karajan (guy in my avatar). He is considered to be one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century, but he grew up in Nazi Germany and was an active member of the Nazi Party. Many argue that he joined the party just to advance his career, but...still. Orff was a White Rose, after all...which makes him alot easier to respect.

[Vokills]

I dont think that a persons views has much to do with their music. Sure maybe their music will have a lot of eneral hate in it but a lot of music does, i love deathmetal. The only way i can see their beliefs even being part of anyones concern is in their lyrics, and to be honest, i would still represent them bc if i didnt just because of their beliefs, then in a way, im doing the same thing they are by being biased.

[Det_Nosnip]

Yeah, but being biased against biased people is ok.

[FreeSmells]

Yeah, but being biased against biased people is ok.

That's quite a conundrum.

[Interviewer/surveyer]

racism to me is funny and okay to joke about, but you have to be aware that there are people who have to deal with the wrong end of racism everyday and for them, it's serious stuff.

It's hard to say, if someone calls me a whop, I laugh it off, I guess it's all about how you say it.

[132WalrusesInMexico]

I would not listen to them...

[Aakon_Keetreh]

I would not listen to them...

[132WalrusesInMexico]

[Stevie II]

KKK? no. because they're a retarded bunch of Christians.

[Eliminator]

[Mr. Ron]

Well, I listen to arghoslent

[Stevie II]

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Varg Vikernes is racist and whilst Burzum is not overtly racist in its lyrics it still is racist. The same is true at least for early Absurd. I don't know much about later Absurd where they seem to have gone to being another skinhead band.

[Mr. Ron]

Just read what Varg posts on his website lol.

[Stevie II]

In an early interview 1993 or something he said that the holocaust was a lie but he wishes that it did happen because he'd love to see 6 million jews die.

Also just because you listen to a band that doesn't mean you agree with everything they believe in. Listening to the Beatles doesn't make you a hippie. Listening to Wagner doesn't make you antisemetic.

[Kage]

Then again, that guy from that one Curb Your Enthusiasm episode might say otherwise.

[peopleeverywhere]

I think when it comes to issues like racism in music it's a complex and fragile topic. I for one, don't think racism should be promoted in any sense, whether its against any group of people. Yes, you should be open minded and base your interest in a band on their music, but when that music incorporates a hateful message with real intent to spread that viewpoint, then you must question your own morals and principles if you accept it.

I think religion seems to be a softer target, on the surface bands like slayer and such like promote anti-christian messages, but really its more of a persona than the bandmates personal beliefs. I read that Tom Araya is actually a catholic, which is hard to believe, and vindicated slayer by claiming it was just an artistic image. Conversely, there's black metal bands who go out and burn churches and kill priests.

With racism in music, It's sometimes hard to judge what's truly racist and what's just poking fun. I think that bands who openly promote these negative views and encourage violence against their targetted groups shouldn't be supported.

I thought we were starting to progress on from these backward mentalities which have plagued society for too long.

I respect the fact that you're giving well thought out posts, but I'm really not willing to get into another one of these debates. They always get ugly and people usually stick to their guns anyway.

[peopleeverywhere]

Yeah I agree. Sadly it's one of those things which looks like will never truly go away.

[Vokills]

!!!
talk about an obscure referrence
i doubt many people other than me will recognize this but yeah i love that episode
he called him a self-hating jew! rofl, i love that episode

<----(loves all episodes)


speaking of sticking to guns,

"Stick To Your Guns" is a terrible, terrible band.
