Metal: Racist Morons? (not ALL)

Dragonforce changed my life - Page 6 - Ultimate Metal Forum
A quick quote:

Zephyrus: There’s a difference between black people and niggers. I respect black people, I hate niggers.
Faith No More: Why on earth would you respect black people, liberal?
Zephyrus: There are a handful of eminent African Americans that I respect, but most of them are useless niggers. Most black people I respect in reference to the innocent starving souls in Africa.

::sigh::… Not only are metalheads homophobic, they’re racist too… And not just the crazy norwegians either (or so it would seem, though I know none of these people personally, and they’d all quickly defend their actions with “can’t you take a joke” or some such BULLLLLSHIIIIIIIT) (Overreaction) I’m comforted by the fact that such people seem to be a minority, and don’t find much support on such a mainstream forum. Other users chime in and call out these two for fouling the air, so to speak. Which is significant. Here’s an unrelated, but relevant quote from later in the discussion that is also reassuring (the fag bit):

Hatebreeder: Pathetic. I’ve heard people bitch about it so many times that it’s just not funny anymore. What’s wrong with Dragonforce?

*WARNING: NO ANSWERS USING THE WORD “FAG” OR RELATED TERMINOLOGY WILL BE REGARDED AND YOU WILL JUST END UP LOOKING LIKE A FUCKTARD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

Anyways, betcha can’t figure out who I am on there… :D
