Music is music, and it doesnt matter what race you are, you can listen to whatever pleases you! Just because you listen to Hardcore Music doesnt mean that your full of hate. I am the Happiest, positive person i know, and i happen to make others positive as well. Those people dont judge me by my music, they judge me on the type of person i am. So i say, Black, White,Yellow, Purple, Polka dots listen to what you want to and dont let others tell you otherwise. :]</p> I happen to be one of those kids that listen to Hardcore, Metal music, and alot of different types of music.

I think one reason anti-christianity hasn't garnered much attention (at least from me) is that is isn't really in the same league as the other *isms, since it is animosity directed against the <em>dominant</em> group, rather than the opposite. All of these forms of prejudice have a complicated definition (sociologically) that take into account more than simply "judging" someone based on a certain factor. Using racism as an example (from the <a href="http://www.racismnoway.com.au/library/understanding/index-Referenc.html#hreoc98" rel="nofollow">Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission</a>, emphasis added):</p> <blockquote> <p>Racism is an ideology that gives expression to myths about other racial and ethnic groups, that devalues and renders inferior those groups, that <em>reflects and is perpetuated by deeply rooted historical, social, cultural and power inequalities in society.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>Does this help clarify things? I'm not advocating hatred, or animosity towards <em>any</em> group, but I believe the effects of these power dynamics are often (erroneously) ignored.</p> <p>Oliver: Could you clarify what you mean by "commie-liberal slant"? That term is thrown around a lot, but is usually just a gloss for poorly articulated reactionism... And I think the whole opposing-racism-in-metal thing is not so much to change the <em>racists</em>, but rather to make it clear that the vast majority of the metal community doesn't support or endorse this behavior, and despite the music's individualism, it is NOT inherently racist or even hateful.</p> Perpetuum Mobile: I appreciate your raising this important issue.

First, if the guy who runs the site knows what attracts people to Anus.com and other racist websites, then he'll know what's wrong with his site. Plus I'm turned off by Metalheads Against Racism's commie-liberal slant. If people wish to truly fight bigotry and online slander, then metal's message of egoism and individualism should take the forefront in their message boards, not this rehashed Marxist nonesense.</p> Metalheads Against Racism isn’t actually an effective site to combat online racism.

]]> Comment on A National Socialist Rejection of Black Metal by mjolnir http://blog.writenothing.com/2008/01/17/a-national-socialist-rejection-of-black-metal/#comment-2494 mjolnir Tue, 22 Apr 2008 20:37:45 +0000 http://writing.yulebomb.net/2008/01/17/a-national-socialist-rejection-of-black-metal/#comment-2494 <p>This write up is quite unintelligent, as you can tell it seems to be the guys first impression, and maybe he did not fit in so he felt uncomfortable with his surroundings. NSBM is way more artful then the skrewdriver clones with lyrics focused on a single age-old platform, racism and WWII. Seems like he is picking a fight with fellow warriors, therefore doing the dirty work of the Global Elitist and keeping us separated. Shame on you for downing white warriors of different genres.</p> This write up is quite unintelligent, as you can tell it seems to be the guys first impression, and maybe he did not fit in so he felt uncomfortable with his surroundings.
