I'm gettin really sick of the level of racism i've been encountering recently.
Some retarded TWAT has just signed my bands guestbook sayin we sound like "niggers" and that we should "go live in the ghetto with all the other niggers".

I've hadit with these mongoloid, slack-jawed wannabe's...they should keep their backward opinions to themselves.
No-one has the right to say which race is better!!!

I'm on line quite a lot, playin xbox live and talkin in lnternet chat rooms, and the only people that have been racist so far, are American.
What is the problem across there?
Do none of you realise that we're in the 21st century and that the days of slave labour are long behind you??
Is America not supposed to be the land of the free, where everyone has an equal oppertunity in life?
Obviously, some people think not.

I am NOT racist. Never have been. Never will be. And neither my band or myself will tolerate this level of backward behavour,especialy on our UBW webpage.

So if your racist,GET A LIFE!!!

This world is meant for EVERYONE!!!!!!

I dont mean to lable all Americans racist.That was not my intention. Obviously not everyone is racist, and yes racism is everywhere, but, most of the racism i have encountered has unfortunatly been from Americans. And the person who left the racist comments on our page claimed he was speaking for "white america" and that "white people should wake up".
Obviously these racist people are in the minority, but i do find it annoying that these people are expressing their immature views in areas where it doesn't belong.

The UBW is a place for people to share their music, make friends and to recieve constructive criticism on their projects, not for small minded comments.

As i have stated, im on-line a lot, and i speak to many Americans who are really cool people and who are not in the least bit racist. So if i have offended anyone,please accept my apologies as it was not my intent to tar everyone with the same brush.
My rant was aimed at the guilty parties, NOT at America as a whole.

wow . . . that sucks that some asswipe contaminated your guestbook, you sound extremely pissed and I don't blame you, but try and chill a bit before you put it into words and make a topic out of it.
you're coming across very hateful and I'm sure you're not.
racism is terrible, hate is terrible . . . a famous quote from Rodney King who was the victim of a racist's attack by the L.A. cops said "can't we all just get along" sums it up.

I'm sorry for what happened, I'm an american and I'm not offended by your remarks because I know they weren't directed at the innocent. Unfortunetly there are fu_ked up people everywhere.

The big problem over here is the Bush administration, but that's a whole other story that I won't go into. . . . anyway, contact the admin of this site and I'm sure he can delete the remark in your guestbook and I think I'll go and listen to some of your music........

Peace,
Erick . . .

Hey Erick, thanks for the response. I'm really glad that you as an American are not pissed off!! Smile
You are totaly right, hate and anger are a bad thing, and at the time of writing the previous posts i was pretty pissed off. I just couldn't believe such crap had been left in our page! It's like you say,"why cant we all just get along?"
I am aware that racism exists everywhere, and it's a terrible thing. And untill now, i hadn't experienced such levels of animosity towards another race.
The last few weeks,I have been hearing so much racist bull from people it's rediculous. I have been trying not to let it get to me, but to have found someone soiling our guestbook with such retarded dribble........well, that kinda sent me over the edge. Evil or Very Mad
Anyway,thanks for understanding hopefully i havn't made any enemie's!!
I'll take your advice, and think before i type in future!!!!
Peace!!!!!

Hey man. Another American here... I, as well, am not racist, nor' am I offended by your comments. At first, I was pretty much thinking, "Wait... Did he just really say that?" I basically thought whoever posted that in your guestbook stained your views on Americans. But now, since you posted that apology, and the explanation that began that post, I understand that it was just the built up anger.

There are some really f*cked up morons in the U.S., and they piss me off for two reasons: They give others whom they ignorantly see as being, "below them," a bunch of undeserved bull-shit, and by doing so, they give many Americans who aren't racist a bad name. I hear the term, "White America," and I wonder if those people are aware that Hitler is dead, and that, while alive, he did cocaine to "enhance" his lunatic rants...

All I've got left to say, is don't let people like that get to you. In the end, they've limited they're social interaction to consist of a group of hateful idiots, while excluding many, interesting individuals. I don't see any difference in race, because to me, a person is a person, whether or not they're a part of a specific, ethnic group. So, kudos to racists, for accomplishing nothing of any great importance (-just to specify, that was sarcasm)! Later, everyone!

Personally "racism" is taught and it goes hand and hand with ignorance and that infortunately impermiates the entire planet, for example, remember Hitler, he was the king of racism, and I don't believe that he was American. I personally do not view people by color or ethnicity, in fact, Diversity is what makes this world a better place, and if you want to break down people by groups there are only 2 kinds of people in the world, ones who are Assholes and ones who are not. I'm really sorry that someone has offended you obviously but please remember that he/she/they only represent themselves and their "small grouping" that they have associated themselves with and they are not representative of the entire population in America.

I agree whole heartedly.
Like I later said though, I wasn't meaning to lable everyone in America racist. It was not my intention at all. The only reason I used Americans as an example was because all of the racist abuse i had been hearing had been coming from there. And believe me, it's far more than i have ever thought i'd hear.
Once again, my apologies if you are offended. It was never my intent to offend the decent folk of America, only the ones with the tainted veiws.

Very Happy Thanks Erick!
I thought i should change the topic title as it was rather ebrasive. I'd rather not get across the wrong point.

I checked out some of your songs aswell, reminds me of pink floyd in some aspects, i think it was "I believe" i dug the most. Love the production. Do you record and mix yourself?
Anyway, thanks to all you guys for being so cool! Cool
If only the world had more like minded people like yourselves!!

Thanks again!

Laughing

Peace,
Erick.........
