BLACK!?
« on: October 14, 2006, 11:55:22 am »
Let's start by saying: I'm not racist (against black people), but I do recognize that they have different tastes and preferences and cultures than us.  There, I said it.

So anyway, last night I was at a local metal show when a band called Jaw came on.  Their MySpace site. 

The band is about to start, there's a guitar player, bass player, and drummer on stage, and they're just waiting for the vocals guy.  That's fine.  Then suddenly, this big tough shirt-less black guy walks on stage, and starts off with the classic death-growl and goes onto sing death-metal. 

I was amazed!  I've never seen a black guy AT a metal show, or in a metal band, never mind SINGING!  It was so cool!  It's like seeing a female singer -- novel and cool. 

If a black person can do metal, maybe this world has some hope to do away with rap/hip-hop once and for all :)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I know Killswitch Engage does too, but like God Forbid they're metalcore, and I can see black people doing metalcore. 

I've never heard of that other band, so I can't really say much there.

One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Just goes to show you how invalid stereotypes can be!

Yeah, 3 out of hundreds and hundreds of metal bands have black singers.  So the stereotypes fail 1% of the time.  I think I'll stick with my prejudices :)

I didn't say anything about "most of the time" or that you shouldn't have them.  I just said they can be invalid. :P
