Do these bands play white power chords?

Come to think of it, the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean played “racist” music, didn’t they?

Islamic snuff videos where they brutally kill the kufir are ALSO available for easy download on the internet.

Wonder how many racist rap songs are sold by major retailers.

This music isn’t even new. This crud has been available since the 1990s if not the 1980s.

The timing of this news item is suspicious.

When we're dancing on the lawn
Pink flamingos on the lawn
White music in the street
White music in the street
When we're swimming in the pool
Pink flamingo barbeque
White music before dark
White music before dark


Take it like it is
No blues, no beat
Take it like it is
No roots, it's just neat
To play white music in the street

When the band plays at the club
Pink flamingos country club
White music for dessert
White music after work

Take it like it is
No blues, no beat
Take it like it is
No roots, it's just neat
To play white music in the street

I see this attempt to shut down music downloading sites as a vieled attempt at political censorship.

Perhaps it isn't even about the politics. Perhaps it is about shutting down access to internet sales for artists who aren't on Big Media labels under the guise that the worst examples of "music" justify restricting it to the major corporate players only.

Big Media itself was racist in the 1940s, back when music by black artists who weren't named Nat King Cole recorded what was offically called by the industry "race music" and music by rural artists was called "hillbilly" (now called country-western).

ASCAP refused to grant publishing rights to race or hillbilly music.

When BMI filled the void and hit the charts, ASCAP alleged that it was because of payola, not because something different was being brought to a public bored by the “hit parade”. BMI published the offshoot of rhythm & blues (Atlantic’s term for race music) and country... rock and roll. ASCAP didn’t.

The NAACP considered Screamin’ Jay Hawkins racist too.

Turn yourself in for re-education if you manage to find Bernie Turner & The Armorettes’ “Ching Ching Wong” online (60s dance soul).

I heard a talk radio ad for some company that was offering math tables set to the tune of some popular rap songs (to encourage kids to do rote memorization and have a mnemonic device to remember them).

What would you call a bus driver who buys an $800,000 home on credit and then moans that she can’t make the payments when it drops in value to $675,000?

No. I’m making the point that Gansta Rap has been spewing hate for years and it got barely a blip on the ‘social conscience’ meter. So, what am I supposed to be so outraged that a white band is spewing hate? WEveryone is late to the party on this. If society would have nipped it in the bud yeears ago, it would be long gone by now.

Do you remember ICE-T? He sang ‘Cop Killer’ and now he plays a cop on TV. Boy, he must be working through some guilt issues there.

This isn’t even anything new. The Dead Kennedys’ recording “Nazi Punks F*** Off” back around 1984 because of the idiots they saw on the scene.

Meanwhile the agitprop of Communism loving bands is never called a “bad” influence.
