Re: Pantera - A New Level (Live)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahrpT48ptZIbleurgh had to delete the link to my response here because he's determined to remain neutral on the subject and people kept harrassing him for an opinion. I asked him if I could link his video here, and he said he was cool with it, so if you're lost on the subject of my rant, go see bleurgh's video first.600 views and one guy says I'm wrong 'cause I dont know what I'm talking about."A closed mind playing the part of prison cells..."Apparently, the sarcasm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm) and hyperbole (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole) is not getting through. I've edited the transcript below to help.I apologize for the inadequacies of my american high school education, even though I seem to be suffering under the inadequacies of yours.RE: Pantera - A New Level (Live) posted by bleurgh.Anybody that's spent any time reading any of the lyrics that Pantera has in their songs knows how incongruent it would be for Phil Anselmo to be touting "white power". In front of a Korean audience, no doubt!But he's a white, tattooed metalhead from the American South, so we expect him to be a racist, and after a decade and a half of slinging lyrics about how skin color is not a factor, heart and soul is all that counts, and that we who are strong have an obligation to protect the weak, the coincidental conspiring circumstances of his gutteral grunting vocals, the Heavy Metal Mike Grip (TM), and a sub-standard tech on the mixboard (seriously, that snare!), [SARCASM][HYPERBOLE] we hear finally what we've always suspected about all those devil-worshipping, redneck metal scum[/HYPERBOLE][/SARCASM]."White power" indeed.There is no real white power. There are fearful little huddles of pale, inbred christians scattered about a continent or two. I'm speaking to you as one of them. [HYPERBOLE] We can't sing, we can't dance, and it seems to me that the only real talent we have is spreading fear and death among the other 90% of the planet's population [/HYPERBOLE].If there was any real white power, you white supremecists wouldn't be so fucking desperate for a figure to rally around that you would grab onto Phil Anselmo maybe saying "white power" once (at a concert in Asia, no less!) after a career of making it clear that he believes in equality and diversity.
