[@GodsonLXV]

Doug Pinnick plays bass and sings in King’s X. He was at Dimebash. He’s also black. And came out as gay back in 1998. We called him to ask about the interaction he had with Anselmo before Phil went onstage: “Yeah, Phil kissed me,” Pinnick laughs. “I hadn’t seen him since Dime was killed, but I walked backstage and he got up, hugged me as hard as he could and whispered in my ear, ‘You are the greatest human being I’ve ever known.’ That’s just how he is. He’s over the top about everything. I love that guy.” Not that Pinnick condones Anselmo’s actions onstage that night. “He shouldn’t have done it. I can’t stick up for what he said. I think he was trying to be funny and controversial, but he doesn’t have a racist bone in his body. I know people say, ‘How can you do something like that as a joke?’ But you gotta know Phil and his sarcasm. He got shit on for it, and rightfully so, but the backlash he got was a little bit over the top, I think. These people that are saying all these horrible things about him, they don’t know him. He’s branded a racist forever now, probably. That’ll be part of his résumé. But I hope he can recover from it and continue making music.”

I'm black and I love metal and rock! I appreciate this video so much.

It really sucked!

How much racism did you encounter? I am your age and have similar experience. But apart from tossing Manowar out of my collection I never had any issues.

I'm non white and I've been on many concerts and festivals, not at least Sweden Rock Festival several times. It has never been a problem. Although, I don't know how metal community looks like overseas but over here in Europe (at least in Sweden) I've never stumbled upon any racism at all at these events.. not even from those who are kinda racist. But that might be because the racism over here is more towards culture rather than skin colour. The only time I get problem with racism are from racist people who also hates metal and rock music. :P

[@BipolarGods666999]

Well were looking at if from two different perspectives. There are still people in power who don't give people of color the same opportunities. I don't know your story and you don't know mine but I know that my life experiences would've been different if I were born white. If you watch the news, when a person of color does something, they are identified by that race. So its harder for us to do something and be judged individually. I know I always take responsibility for my actions. I cant even tell you how much racism I've seen on the internet. I'm not expecting you to understand because you'll never see it that way. This stuff builds up and you see patterns, but there's always going to be someone on the other side to say "well no its not..." All I want is for the racist crap to stop on all sides. But if you're a good person and not racist, I have nothing against you.

[@evilbastard2357]

Metallic Death honestly the mainstream media is one of the biggest problems they twist stories to try to turn everybody against one another , you're right you don't know my story and I don't know yours but a lot of people jump to the conclusion that I'm White just because I speak out against stuff like this when in fact I'm actually Native American so being white does not factor into the equation for me I simply speak out against stupidity, And what I mean about speaking out against stupidity has nothing to do with racism itself but has everything to do with people who like to label other people and try to claim that someone who listens to metal is inherently racist all that metal itself has a racial undertone but yet they do not speak out against all the problems that American citizens are actually facing, Just like Morgan Freeman was asked in an interview by Mike Wallace I believe it was what was his solution to racism and his answer was stop talking about it he's going to ask people to stop calling him a black man and in return He will stop calling other people a white man I'm not saying racism does not exist because it does but it's not just one nationality that is racist it goes across the board there's equal blame to go around , If we as a people want to see a change in what's going on then we need to be that change we need to set the example for other people in the hopes that they will actually follow that example, I'm not going to refer to you as a black girl I'm simply going to refer to you as a person and as a individual I don't judge , A entire race on based on the actions of a small minority of that nationality but unfortunately what's actually been going on lately is every white person is being called guilty of racism based on the actions of a small group of people can you honestly say that's fair ? People like to hold on to the Past and try to use what happened hundreds of years ago as an excuse for their actions today like they are actually being oppressed but in my opinion if you look around that's just a false statement because like I said everybody is presented with equal opportunity no matter what gender or race you are it's up to you as an individual what you do with that opportunity if you do not make something of yourself if you do not better your situation then that blame falls on you as an individual no one else, And you talk about the news anytime I have cut the TV on all I see it's a bunch of people who claim blacklivesmatter while attacking other people solely based on the color of their skin they attack and murder cops why was screaming out the names of criminals , But yet you do not see those people protesting all the murder and crime that actually takes place in their neighborhood that is committed by people of their own nationality no they'd much rather protect those people but drug dealers and the criminals and the wannabe gangsters they'd much rather hold up hip-hop stars like there's some kind of Idol, Instead of actually striving to be something more than that everybody is always so quick to blame somebody else for the decisions they decide to make in their life they do not want to accept responsibility and be held accountable for their actions so they tried to place their problems on to a different race and accuse them of being racist, And then in the same breath claim that black people cannot be racist but anybody who has common sense and does not live in denial knows that statement to be a lie as I stated previously and this post every nationality has racist in it but to judge that an entire race of people by the actions of very few , Is deplorable nobody can justify racism nobody can justify what happened to the African American people hundreds of years ago, Just like nobody can justify what happened to my people but I do not go around pissed off at the world I do not go around hating every single white person what happened to my ancestors at the hands of their ancestors it would be stupid for me to do something like that that would make me a racist in the end everybody has their own opinion and they have their own beliefs I'm just one person I'm not going to change the world by myself and I'll probably have it changed your view on the world or how it works and I really don't know what else to say other than have a nice day and I hope one day people in this world will stop hating each other and realize we all have to live on the same planet so it's best if we just accept each other for Who We Are as a person and try to make the best out of the time that we actually have here because life is too short to be angry all the time

+redandblackrevolutionary Fancy running into you here.

[@EricJh21690]

It's one thing to not be into a band because you're just not into their sound.. But to say it's solidified by the stupid action of one member, 15 years after the band split? For 1, he is only 1 band members, none of the others have ever done anything that seemed racist; Dime especially was known as one of the friendliest, most down to earth musicians/person you'd ever meet... didn't matter who you were or where you were from. Phil has had his douche moments, but I don't think he's truly racist.. he usually treated fans in other countries around the world pretty much like American fans, and he's probably performed with some musicians that weren't white. At the same time some people, especially from the south, can seem somewhat racist due to the environment they grew up in and how their parents were. I don't think it was right that he did that, but he also was drunk and people do dumb shit. The fact he says he'll never play another Pantera song because of something the former singer did, I think is absolutely ridiculous and stupid. It'd be one thing if the whole band encouraged racism.

[@AdamRainStopper]

EricJh21690 I've been playing with a band for many years, still officially a "band" now, even though we rarely play anymore unless someone contacts us and asks us to play a "reunion" show. We're a 3 member band with a strong political message. If one of the other members turned out to be a racist, there would cease to be a band. Being in a band is a friendship, but it goes even beyond typical friendships. You don't have to always agree on *everything* ... but you can't have a band consisting of a communist, a nazi, a muslim and a guy from the john birch society. You have to be relatively like-minded, and you have to decide what your band stands for as a whole. When one member of the band is saying things publicly (for YEARS on end, this was NOT the first time Anselmo made racist remarks, just the first time he shouted "WHITE POWER!!!" on stage in front of cameras) that are against what you (the other members) believe and want your band to stand for, you tell that member to fuck off. If you DO NOT get rid of the member who is publicly making statements like these, people will rightly assume that he is just saying what the whole band thinks, and when you continue to play in a band with this person, you are implicitly endorsing the things he says. He isn't some guy named Phil, he is "Phil Anselmo of the band Pantera." It's the company you keep, and yes, it is fair-game.
