How Racist is Your Record Collection?
 

I listened to an MF Doom album earlier and didn't flinch once. Does this mean I'm not racist?

i have a muslimgauze record, does that count against me?

I've got Four Tops, Eddie Murphy, and Prince in there. I do need some rap records though.

Geto Boys


'nuff said.

Well, I've got lots of records by groups of different ethnicities, mainly stuff from the middle East and Japan, but I also do have an Arghoslent record, and they are most definitely racist but their music is an awesome power/black metal hybrid. I don't agree with what they're probably singing about, but the lyrics are unintelligable anyway.

Arghoslent rule \m/

I don't own any NSBM.

So I'm kind of a huge racist.

Yeah, NSBM is weird though. I got a friend to translate the lyrics to a Burzum record once, thinking it was gonna be full on 'Birth of a Nation' stuff, and they just said it was all about goblins and trees. The same with Graveland from Poland. Really racist in interviews but their songs all seem to be about mist. Gabber can be really racist - or at least a lot of people into it can be.



I don't think listening to records by black people counts either way though. I mean, look at Eric Clapton.

I own this album and it fucking HATES my cracker ass.

Let's just say I disowned Metallica when they released the black album, and I've still got the Beatles' white album in my collection.

Lots of white. Some black. Some asian. That covers everything right?


Edit: Does Yo La Tengo count as hispanic?

I think they prefer to be referred to as a 'latino' band.

Not racist at all because I'm too disorganized to arrange by category and do instead by most played artists. So I don't have a "jazz section", which would inevitably lead to dividing things by race. Instead my two most played artists, Sonic Youth and Sun Ra are side by side, just like the keys on Stevie Wonder's piano (which you have to assume he always judged by height rather than color)...

Geto Boys is black?

I could really use some hip hop records, but my record store only carries new releases (AKA 808s and Heartbreak, Common's new album, and a fuckload of others I have no interest in purchasing.)

I have a pretty healthy supply of jazz, though.

Ah. I'll keep that in mind.

i think atleast 90% of my vinyl is black artists, my collection is so unracist that it's actually kinda racist

There's Jews up in that band, so you're OK.

My record collection is BOXXY-approved.

I won't lie....it's mostly a lotta white people in my record collection. But I've got nearly a complete collection of records from the Tien an Men 89 label which includes "punk rock" from places like Iran, Madagascar, Nepal, many of the -istan nations, etc.
