PHIL ANSELMO APOLOGY FOR RACIST ACTIONS, ANTHRAX SCOTT IAN SAYS BEHAVIOR "VILE"

Former Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo has sincerely apologized for his racist actions, which Scott Ian, a Jew, called "vile" and asked Phil to show how much he "loves everybody" with him putting his money where his mouth is.

[@andytoon11]

a Jewish person will only accept an apology if he gives a Jewish charity money. not helping the stereotype Scott

[@crm321]

+andy holtby My thoughts exactly.

[@worldwarwrestling8142]

+andy holtby I agree with Scott. Hell black folks can learn something from these jews. Hell we're talking about a man who used to record with Public Enemy. I say not only should Phil donate some $$ to that charity Scott mentioned he should also donate to Dr Umar Johnson's school or Tariq Nasheed's Hidden colors 4 movie.

***** real Jews? What does that mean? Ok blacks in America have been subjected to hate for hundreds of years where as Jews for at least over a thousand but saying that so have gypsies gays disabled Christians Catholics hey even the mongolians treated the Chinese like shit at the end if the day every race and religion gets hate even today but in today's world there is not mass killings like before and certain people keep grudges from the past which means there can't be a peaceful future

Jew or not, who the fuck really cares? Too many goddamn labels in this world, that's the problem.

[@jayt7178]

Phantom Lord it’s called context buddy. It also is an explanation for his recommended donation. They mention it because Phil literally threw a seig heil. A Nazi salute, and then did the three finger wave, a symbol of oath for the SS. Of course they’re gonna explain why Scott took particular issue with Phil’s actions. He’s a Jew, Anselmo engaged in Nazi symbolism. It’s really common sense but of course someone had to whine about how “identity” was brought into on a video about someone literally saying white power.

[@jayt7178]

Phantom Lord the problem is not the labels, the problem is unearned and ignorant reverence for an inalienable and arbitrary measure of self worth. Racism is the problem, choosing how to identify is not.

I'm not saying what Phil is right but I don't understand how Scott Ian can call him racist when he's done the same and evenworse with SOD.

[@Gregbaltzer]

+Maximiliano Dan Lilker said the lyrics weren't serious and they were just trying to piss people off. Dan has also said he regrets writing those lyrics, same as he regrets writing the lyrics for "Lesbians" for Nuclear Assault, which has been since removed from Game Over. The big difference is that Speak English or Die was also written 30 years ago when they were really young, and that's what young people do....they like to piss people off. Now they're adults, and when you're an adult you're suppose to have grown up, have a different world view, and know better than to say that kind of shit.

At the same time it has made most of us live our lives through computer screens. Now 90% of the BS said on youtube, I honestly believe, would never be said to a person face 40 years ago. It is so easy to curse a computer screen, but very few would have the balls to curse Phil to his face. Matter of fact many would be trying to get his autograph on their copy of Far Beyond Driven lol. These screens have really turned the world cold. People are no longer human to commentors, They are just gigs and ram that that can be called anything or treated any way. It's scary too because once a nation starts to dehumanize any group of people and make them something other than an actually human with feelings and needs...destruction always follows.

Scott saying that he he has "zero tolerance.... No matter what the context" in my opinion is a bad way to look at the situation. Realistically, it will be very very long before racism is abolished. And the idea of wanting racism completely out of anyone reach, understanding, and acknowledgement so to speak, is only showing the public, that racism is something to fear and is something powerful. All I'm saying, is that approach is what gives racist actions, and racism in general its power. Don't get me wrong, if 100 percent of people complied to neglecting racism, it wouldn't be there, but also if 100 percent of people who were not racist ignored it, you would also get the same result. Also I would like to point out this. This may not be directly racist, but i guarantee some people will see it as racist. Scott Ian released an album with S.O.D called "Speak English Or Die". So his "no matter what the context" argue ment is kind of a contradiction. I mean of course Phils was much more direct, but none the less in the end he was being sarcastic, and hey Scott wasnt doing much different with this album. Though it wasn't direct poke at a race of people, nobody can deny that some people will see racism in that album name.

[@kellidanielle5862]

I understand why he did it. But the optics were bad. There were some idiots in the crowd doing that and taunting Phil. So in his own words, "You wanna see ugly, I'll show you ugly!" and threw it back at them. The context got lost in the uproar. Bad optics, but he was tying to make a point at the hecklers. Scott Ian has known them forever. He knows P hil isn't a racist.

[@tonyjones1560]

If Phil's not a racist, I'd like to see him apologize by taking better care of himself. Dude is obviously carrying a lot of self-inflicted wounds and (especially if he's not a racist) I'd hate to see him end up like Scott Weiland and so many, many others from the metal community who left this world far too soon. And yeah, this ain't the first time that Phil's said something...inappropriate...and it ain't gonna be the last, chances are. But I recall a piece in the Bible where Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone." No one threw any rocks that day...and the older guys dipped away from the situation first because they KNEW their hands were the dirtiest. I can accept Phil's apology---because, fellow headbangers, I'm gettin' old, old enough to know that some things can neither be washed off or lived down... And if he is a racist? Don't know about now, but once upon a time it was said that the USA's a free country and as such a person is allowed to set his own mark. There's a lot of real estate between making a racist comment onstage and lighting a cross on someone's lawn or shooting a bunch of people at Bible study. I personally have never heard any stories of Phil Anselmo assaulting anybody in a "hate crime." Hey, if George Wallace repudiated his racist ways, someday Phil might too...if he's a racist in the first place. I'm a huge Anthrax fan, and I (still) have crazy respect for Scott Ian...but for him to basically attempt to extract cash from Phil over this? Draw your own conclusions, folks...

I heard that some dude was heckling Phil thru out the concert calling him a racist pig. I think Phil was so pissed at this guy that he went full racist for shock value & as a fuck you to the heckler.

[@19DrumFreak89]

how can so many people dislike this video? it's simply stating a fact that he was wrong and take his apology how you wish. I always personally saw phil as somewhat of a racist. even rob flynn spoke out about this. why couldn't you just play a show honoring a fallen bandmate and leave out the bigotry?

People would be surprised of how many black people, Muslims and Arabs and Asians and a whole lot of other people have grown to love Metal. In this time of social media we are closer connected to each other then we used to be, the love is felt more intensely then it once did but also the hate is felt more strongly, it's a different time and we really have to evolve with it an not stay stuck in our old ways. Politics is doing a good enough job of dividing us let's not do the same with music. METAL UP YOUR *SS!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

This whole thing is ridiculous. Anyone who's been paying attention for all these years knows that Phil Anselmo is no white supremacist. I've seen Phil Anselmo play with Hanukkah dreidels. Phil Anselmo has stated his favorite Jewish man is Rod Serling the creator of the Twilight Zone television series of which Phil Anselmo is a huge fan. If any conclusion can be made from Phil Anselmo's behavior over the years he appears to be pro Jewish. This whole thing is sad, there is so much blatantly acceptable anti-Semitism in France and in the rest of Europe, and somehow people think Phil Anselmo is the problem. It would be so nice if people would get this upset when terrorists attack Israel. This is a joke, a bad joke. I am Phil Anselmo fan, and I plan to be one for the rest of my days.

When you do something stupid the only thing you can do to repent somewhat is to apologize, because it can’t be undone, it’s in the past. Do people ever consider that they might get the same judgement unto them when *they* are the ones in the wrong? When you are, you’re gonna hope that everyone forgives you eventually, that’s just how we work. It’s been 7 years since that dimebash incident. How long do you want Phil to pay for being an idiot? An eternity? Come one man!

Phil doesn't have shit to apologize for. why is it so wrong to be proud to be white? even in metal now everything must be politically correct and fit a certain status quo, everything metal is supposed to be reacting against. being proud to be white doesn't mean that you have to hate other races Phil did not expressed any hatred just a love for white culture ,just like he has in the past because he is white and whether people like it or not metal was founded by whites for whites. it's an expression of our cultural creative abilities to be shared to the world.

This is not the first time Phil did something rascist.. He's been preaching white power shit for years now..even with Pantera he was... so only a apology for this is not enough.. he's past is following him way too much.

[@PDXguitarfreak]

When people get drunk, their inhibitions go down and they let it all out... That appears to be what Phil did. Is he sorry? Sure, after his band gets kicked from a festival. I used to love Pantera back in the Cowboys and Vulgar days, and occasionally I would hear their music and smile and reminisce. Not anymore. Great musicians (RIP Darrell) with a fucked up singer.

[@MLCrow]

He did something like that also in the past, at least a couple of times. Watch for example Pantera's live performance of A New Level (in Seoul, South Korea)...he was sober btw.

At Monsters of Rock '94 at Castle Donnington UK Anselmo shouted Seig Heil. The crowd then chants Seig Heil Pantera.
