Hey guys, Our band is really not feeling what you guys are doing. We
believe that you need to fight racism and sometimes drastic measures need
to be taken but in the case of have the name that you have chosen, I think
you have brought along alot more skepticism and made it seem offensive
to many people. I understand the idea you are trying to put out and I
think it's great that you are trying to make a stand against racism. But
is this really the message that you want to put out? The singer of our
band was appauled at the idea that someone would use this in their name
for their band, and he is a very open guy. He believes in all freedoms
and believes that racism needs to be stopped but he did not understand
how you could do this. It's a really touchy subject to alot of people
and he has made it clear that we won't play the show unless you change
your name or drop off the bill and I could understand you not wanting
to do that. But just think of all the pain that you are giving this man,
and think if one person can feel this strongly about your band name, how
many other people feel the same. It's a strong message that is very hard
to swallow for a lot of people, and maybe you just might want to rethink
your strategy on this one before you give too many people the wrong idea.
I am not trying to be mean or tell you how to run your band, but I believe
in whatever my fellow bandmates believe and I think he has a point, and
if it can upset him this much, I think it's something worth thinking about.
I appreciate your time and I hope you think your plan of action over after
you read this. Thank you
