Shout them down in every space, make them embarrased to think the stupid shit they think.

If we don't embarrass and correct them now we will have to kill them later when they come for our friends and families.

I can believe that.

I've a afroamerican mate here in Sweden, kinda mad lad.

He's from NY. Once he told me at every gig he was the only black guy in the crowd (90s), Punk, metal, he always was alone.

Anyway it seems he had a good time, but I guess NY it's diffent from many other places in the Us.

Depends on the band, I guess. Been to some punk stuff and it was really mixed. Metallica was the biggest metal show I’ve been to, there were different ethnicities in the crowd, but I would have felt kinda uncomfortable were I them. E: TBC I felt uncomfortable by what I saw.

Depends on the band and part of NY. People tend to forget that NY state is huge and has a lot of rural areas. I lived in the Hudson Valley for a long time and went to a ton of punk and metal shows in that area and can say that the crowds were 99% white. That being said, we didn't give a fuck if you weren't white; people in the pit only cared of you were an asshole who was out to hurt people.
