I'll ask you please not to mention your fellow journalists in your argument, as I imagine a 40 year old who gets a nose bleed when his Lionel Richie LP is played too loud has no place at a punk show. No one commenting here is part of the band, and this is a criticism of your work, so please, accept the crit and move on. Topic over, I have other old wheelbarrows to mend.

How can you call a group like this racist for directing sentiment at political figures and not at a particular race group. if they had spat hatred at George Bush would you consider them racist then? i think not. listen to the words to the song please, infact could someone post them. secondly I AM GROSSLY INSULTED BY YOUR STATEMENT: "ANOTHER SPOILT WHITE BOY RANT" YOU ARE MAKING THIS A RACE ISSUE. just because you may be white yoursef (im not sure) does not make you exempt from critisism for statements like this. i am offended and your comment is truly disgracefull. just for the record i do not share the sentiment of hatred towards julius, jacob or the ANC, please dont assume that just because i am a "spoilt white boy". i have to agree with matthew.

I really think you have accused people of being a racist unfairly, which is something we much less need in our current political climate, there are too many people pulling that card to get noticed and I think it’s a shame to see it filter down to this level, especially in the alternative community.
