lol, me and I try to get my friends to listen. I've known others who listen to their music, but I must make them fans.
[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Dear Friends wrote: [/QUOTENAME]I just found out that Brian May associates with known KKK member Axl Rose. Axl has been known to spit at his black listeners in the fron row and refuse to sign their albums. In one bootleg when Brian was playing with GnR you can see Axl spit at one of them and Brian laughing.

And I remember a video interview I got off of KaZAa with Freddie where he was asked if black culture and their funk music had any influence on Hot Spce and Freddie replied something like "Let me tell you, the only thing n****rs are good for is shining my shoes darling (laughter)"

Also, on GVHI, when Roger is talking about AOBTD he talks about these two black guys that came up to them and told them there music was bad. Except if you listen carefully, he say "Two young ni-- black, African Americans"

John was too shy to do it more publicly so he did it in his songs. Like AOBTD which talks about exterminating minorities one by one. I Want to Break Free (From black on white oppression that is) And even Under Pressure talking about the white man's struggle to get every last minority off the streets.

In fact, I've heard a lot of Queen songs have secret hate messages in them.

You Take My Breath Away - Jim Crow and Lynching blacks

March of the Black Queen - The million man march being a stupid idea and MLK is somehow a "Queen" for fighting for his rights.

Soul Brother - Freddie mocks black music by pretending to be a black stereotype

One Vision - ONE RACE, ONE GOD, etc. lyric putting down non whites (and jews/muslims/etc. too) and Roger said it was a hate sog against MLK that Freddie mucked up by making it against every non white.

Great King Rat - More MLK bashing

Ogre Battle - One day whites and blacks will fight and only the white race can come out on top.

The Hitman & Dead on Time - Promotes execution of minorities

The Videos too.
Radio Ga Ga with the whole Nazi references in the video

Body Language where Freddie dance next to three portly black women suggesting that you can't be black and beautiful at the same time.

It's a Hard Life where the only to black guys in the seen are slaves while everyone else is rich.

And the fact that everybody in their audiences is white. No minorities in the bunch. Did they hang a sign outside or something or was it just implied?

How can people continue to support a band that promotes such bigotry? Hopefully, you won't because I can't[/QUOTE]

Actually asshole, they said Queen 'are BAAD" as in a good way. Because the song was very popular in the black community, and Freddie had black friends.
"Please buy my upcoming album... I need the money"
I know he meant bad as in good you stupid bitch. It didn't say bad as in crappy or anything. Develop some reading comprehension skills. That's what make what Roger said that much worse. Because all those two gents were doing was complementing his music and he STILL used a slur to describe them. And I can't believe I forgot to mention White Man as another racist song. It's always the most obvious ones that are overlooked by the human brain, eh?
Anyway the wind blows...
As a black male I can not believe all of the self-righteous people who actually took the time to respond to this idiotic thread. What are you trying to prove? The guy who started the thread doesn't even have his facts straight. The million man march took place in 1995, how could March of the Black Queen be about that? C'mon, it's obvious the guy is just posting to get attention so why respond with passionate replies to such B.S>

i dont have to be told i live in NYC i know what its like.
One should ANALize the Poetry on page 43, when Oedipus is rollin' in his benzo and he has to bust a cap on some flagrants in the under city http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/image/essay/1
Racist, nah. Never our boys. What was that Roger said on Wembley disc two about all the barriers going down or something? Queen were never racist and never would be anyway.

If they were would Brian be thanking all the Japanese fans? Don't think so.

Just look at the pictures from the band line-up over the years. Do you see one black guy in them? Well, do you?

Taylor is an all-out Arian blonde, May has the black curls but his skin is very white and Deacon drinks tea. Mercury of course was gay, which released him from the obligation of any further bigotry.
How much more racist can you get?
Told you so!

Still not convinced? Two words: Spike Edney. They all played Scrabble, which everyone knows is a very racist game. Besides, they call him The Duke, a fascist name if you ask me. It's only a small step from The Duke to Il Duce.

Can we now please move on to more sensible things?[/QUOTE]

So because none of them was black they are racists? Come on, then the majority of all bands are racists.[/QUOTE]

Oh, I'm afraid you didn't catch my cynism
there. Of course Queen were no racists, there's hardly anyone around with a more colourful ethnic background than Freddie. Actually, all the reasons I summed up are sheer nonsense, and that's exactly how they were meant.

I hope you don't really believe I think Scrabble is a racist game?
what's really funny is people are still angrily replying to this post. good work 'dear friends' love it.
I'm personally sick and tired of this utter shit. First we have homophobic maniacs putting our very beloved Freddie down for being gay. Then we have the old 'Brian and Roger are betraying Freddie' rubbish. And now, Queen are suddenly racists? Freddie himself was Parsee Indian as was mentioned earlier. If that doesn't say everything then I give up.

Cut out this crap people and let's get down to the real business of discussing our favourite band properly, with respectfulness.
I said that so others can know not you....(to person who replied to me)
this thread is so funny, all the hate and threats...it's a bit scary. So we all know 99% they weren't racist.

Not everyone in their audience is white..I think. I think all this is a coincidence....I hope. :)
