Spotify Removes Racist Music In Response To Charlottesville

Spotify and other streaming services have begun removing white supremacist content from their platforms, as websites and musicians alike scramble to distance themselves from the white nationalist movement.
In a statement on Wednesday, Spotify blamed the labels and distributors that supply music to its database but said "material that favors hatred or incites violence against race, religion, sexuality or the like is not tolerated by us. Spotify takes immediate action to remove any such material as soon as it has been brought to our attention."
So....what about rap?

As long as I can still listen to frick Tha Police I'm good.

Has anyone done any digging to figure out how Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and Brahms thought about minorities? Can't be too careful, and if they were racist, their musical contributions must be banned IMO.

There is white supremacist music? Seriously?

I'm sure songs that glorify calling girls bitches and ho's and using the n word is all good though.
Combating bad speech with less speech always ends badly.

You could never tell with Mozart considering he does have at least one piece which translates to English as "Lick me in the arse".

Did they list any specific artists? I don't see it in the article.

If they ban the N word that could backfire

I know Hitler freaking loved Wagner.

75% of rap has racist content. That should be banned, but it makes a lot of money, and no one is bitching so they will allow it. Virtue Signaling wins again.

If Literally Hitler loved him, then there is no choice but to remove all of his works. It's 2017, do you want to be on the Wrong Side of History?

I like how NPR doesn't allow comments on their articles. It's like they know no one agrees with their viewpoints.
Posted on 8/21/17 at 11:50 am to DavidTheGnome
why were they playing this racist music before Charlottesville?
Posted on 8/21/17 at 11:51 am to DavidTheGnome
So.....no more Public Enemy?
