Afro-Punk: The Documentary

We need more afro punks. I'm honestly tired of loving a genre that champions racial and gender equality but is made up of 85% straight white males. Rap and hip hop aren't bad things, but I think there needs to be more blurring of the lines of what's considered "black" and "white" music. I think black and white people should be able to keep and be proud of their heritage and culture, but if we're ever going to be truly equal, we need to have more things culturally in common.

@invadercheeze i hate the fact that modern blacks say they like rock and roll but still they listen to hip hop not saying anything is wrong with it but i always felt that it was more to it then hip hop i would get criticized for listening to white music i mean dude its more to it than listening to somebody getting killed or you get purp by the pound and goose by the 5th or fuckin a bitch or getting money come on we get it black ppl dont do too much but im just saying come with a new topic

well, im a punk, im white, and im dating a black girl, cant label that girl, but i do know i love her dearly, she knows who i am and how i am and what i believe, shes even came to my bands practice, she said she likes us, probably being nice but to some degree she likes punk, maybe one day she might join the movement, either way i love her...idk exactly what im getting at here but i kinda wish there were more afropunk bands and just people, or just more bands and people in general :)

im black and i listened to punk since my early childhood. to me, punk is more than just "anarchy" or "anti-establishment," it a way of life. i have and will forever be part of the culture and what pisses me off the most is the fact that people would prefer that i should listen to rap and r&b or eat kfc, drink grape soda or follow any other black stereotype. you know what

FUCK YOU!!

PUNK'S NOT DEAD

OI OI OI!!!
