UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread

Ted is as relevant as any of us. Why the anger? Don’t like his point of view on things? He is both relevant and free to have his views.  

@grannyring Anger?  If you find calling an accomplished black man a subhuman mongrel and making threats to kill him(not that he would have, Ted is a coward like all his ilk) just a point of view, no, not anger but disgust and sadness. That man was Barack Obama, who had the audacity to become President. Good old Ted has made his angry hatred and racism quite a platform to remain relevant among the terrible people who hold the same 'views'. And that's just a part of his awfulness. Misogyny and more.... Of course, he is free to have his warped views but that doesn't mean people have to accept it. I imagine I'd get banned from here pretty quick were I to spout the vile garbage Ted does.

This isn't about politics or different opinions, it's about being a good human being. Normalizing such things by saying it's ok is not something any decent person should support. 

@tablejockey I didn't want to drag your thread off topic into such things. I was prompted to respond as ignoring hate as merely opinion is a dangerous thing. It can be an opinion that someone thinks taxes should be spent a certain way, that some music is better than other types, tubes vs. solid state, etc.. But hatred and the rising violence and anger it breeds is not opinion. It's deep-seated mental illness at best, and outright evil at worst. As I said, normalizing it instead of treating it as the toxic disease on society it is will let it grow, rather than be eventually cured.

We only need look to the (yet another) shooting in Buffalo to see the cost, the absolute agony those who's loved ones were murdered simply for being the wrong color are living through.

Thank you for reading, I will not continue to speak on this, as it's not the proper place for a longer discussion of this nature. Have a good day and enjoy music.
