I just noticed that, I wrote this when I was a bit tired and I have a habit of switching letters when typing. I'll change it as soon as I get enough posts.

Also, yay, replies!

For racism the three things that come to mind are Nazi Punk, National Socialist Black Metal, and good ol' Johnny Rebel.

I obviously don't agree with it, but they're free to make music about whatever they feel like.

Freedom of speech, and also artistic purposes would have to make me say that it doesn't have a negative impact. I think that everyone should look at Slayer, a band that does songs about the Holocaust and "blasphemous" material. Lombardo is a devout catholic. It's just music, and I think you have to approach it with an open mind.

Slayer's songs about the Holocaust are purely "documentary" in nature, if you would care to look at the lyrics

the only step they took in endorsing it was naming their fanclub "Slatanic Wehrmacht"

as for the Satanism, they sound like "opinions" rather than forcing it down your throat

David Alan Coe, who has done his fair share of racist music, actually has had black musicians, and I believe he has denied being racist.

Yeah he came up in my searches, and doesn't seem to espouse any sort of racist views. I think the ones that are said to be by him, aren't. I know some songs from Johnny Rebel are wrongly attributed to him.

Eh, he has songs where he uses the "n-word". See "****** Lover" & "Rails". Some retards think these songs are serious bsns.

CanwllCorfe · 07-08-2012, 05:44 PM

I assumed Nigger Lover was one that was actually by Johnny Rebel. Mainly because it fits right in with the titles of a few of his other smash hits, like "Nigger, Nigger", "Who Likes a Nigger?", "Move Them Niggers North", and "Some Niggers Never Die (They Just Smell That Way)".

Well, that's a big reason I cannot stand Public Enemy. Why would I ever want to listen to a homophobic act? Even if they are considered "great" by the masses?

Because not listening to a homophobic band does.... what?
