| I think Ddadutta means caucasian, not aryan. And... I think I agree that people are more often grouped according to colour. Just because I don't think it is right, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. | |

| Actually, from what I understand, Ian MacKaye wrote this from a very, very, sarcastic point of view. Ian MacKaye is MAKING FUN of caucasians who think that they "are guilty of being white". Look at this stanza, it makes it obvious: I'm convicted Of a racist crime I've only served 19 years of my life The caucasian is guilty of racist crime and ONLY SERVES 19 YEARS OF HIS LIFE. This is obviously a comment on how caucasians get treated much better in the judicial system than others. Really, some of you people need to do your homework or just not make such ridiculuous claims that Slayer is racist without proper evidence. They may actually be racist, who knows, but this song was originally written to criticize caucasians who think they are treated unfairly when it's people of other ethnicities who are unfortunately treated worse most of the time. Do you guys think that Slayer actually commits all the acts of violence and satanism that they seem to "condone" in their songs? Of course not, I believe Tom Araya even said himself once that they primarily comment on the stupidity of humanity through their lyrics. Seriously people... | |

| The lyrics are true. What ever happens to 'minorities' here is the white mans fault, as far as they're concerned...And that last verse is accurate. Just like if someone said 'White Pride World Wide', you'll call them a racist, but if they said 'Gay Pride World Wide' you wouldn't say a word..........And what do you mean people aren't 'colours'?? Show me a black Aryan, and i'll leave boot marks on his face...... | |

| Ddadutta why do you use the term Aryan? You're seriously not half-hispanic if you're using that term. THe correct term is GERMAN, not Aryan. That's Hitler's term. I don't hate Hitler, I'm just saying. I'm Asian, but I don't care if I'm treated like shit from anyone, because I am shit. I bet you're a white boy. You're not Hispanic. "Aryan...Aryan..." Only people with extremist pride use that. I'd love to lick your white vanilla-flavored penis, you soft-ballsacked douchebag. | |

| Now... I'm fully aware that Slayer aren't a racist band, and neither were Minor Threat, but... uhh... maybe (to the last two commentors especially), if you don't want Slayer to be called a racist band... you should be just that little bit more careful of what you say? I'm not saying you had any racist intent behind what you said, but surely you can see that people are going to interpret it that way? Whatever, fuck it. | |
