Racism & Music Part 10: Why Sham 69 Split Up

[@EdgyZapatista]

'Nazi Punks Fuck Off' sprung to my mind after watching this. :3 Nice video. :)

I was worried that this was going to be about how Sham 69 broke up because some of the members turned racist and I was like "fuck, I liked that band" but I'm glad to see it was not the case at all. Good video Andy!

Why would any of the band members being racist be the deciding factor in disowning the band. They can have their views as they please. That black and white mentality is cancer. If I didn't listen to bands who I didn't agree with politically or had racist members, I would not listen to a lot of the music that I do, as most people would, oi/punk related or not.

[@SundaysEnd]

Because I'm not comfortable with listening to white supremacists. I listen to artists who have different political and religious views than me (like I listen to a lot of Christian bands despite being an atheist) and I listen to artists that are just flat out terrible people (John Lennon for instance) but I am simply not comfortable listening to artists that have Neo-Nazi or otherwise white supremacist views and if you don't like that you can fuck off. .

[@PunkandDrunk7782]

Idiot, no ones trying to force any type of views on you. Just trying to get you to see different perspectives and opinions, your opinion is your own as mine is to myself.

Oxblood Skin lol no.... white supremacists are not “just trying to show a different perspective”. that’s objectionably false.
