your opinion on bands with hateful messages

[AchrisK]

I know 2 other fellow african americans into metal, one is in a pretty cool band.

African Americans? I never really liked that term. Most black people (in America) have been Americans for their whole lives, and even for generations. I know black people are not black, but neither am I white. It's just a way to communicate.

If some on was born outside of the country I just consider them that. I work with a guy that moved here from Africa 10 years ago, he is African to me, but Im of African decent and was born here so I consider myself African American. Africans in America and "black" people are very different in alot of ways. I know a Russian guy and a few Swedish guys, they weren't born here, I don't really consider them white. It doesn't really matter though, my great grandfater was Italian, I could call myself Italian but Im still just a my pals to some people, but thats just a whole different topic.

How is that? You mean black is black, regardless of nationality?

 

[BlackMetalTyrant]

No, that there is difference between an African American and someone from Africa that relocates here.

I'll pass, but thanks anyway.

OK... you said you hadn't encountered any racist music of any musical value. Well there's one should you ever be interested enough to investigate.

I don't really care

Comments like what some of you have written in reply is exactly why me and the rest of the world think many of you Americans are so fucking stupid.

EDIT: I will stop here though - I'm not going to go off like I did last time.

I'm pretty sure Napalm Death is against hate and negative aspects that come with humanity. I have no problem with hateful messages in music aslong as the band has good approach and reason.

Napalm Death are one of the most openly anti-fascist metal bands around luls.

Reading back on the comments here:

Lets see, just thinking of a few people who constitute my real metal friends:

1 Italian person, 2 Jewish people, 2 Scottish people, 1 Norwegian person, and other metal acqaintances are from practically every race I can think of.
