Tell Amazon to Stop Selling Racist Music!

White power bands such as Skrewdriver, Max Resist and The Bully Boys recruit young people into the Neonazi movement with catchy songs promoting their racist beliefs. One of the most popular Skrewdriver songs, a punk selection called "White Power," blames non-whites and diverse societies for riots and muggings, while calling for violence with the lyrics, "they should all be shot."

Whether these hateful, provocative lyrics are protected speech is open for debate. But major retailers have the power to ban white power music from their catalogs, therefore limiting its reach amongst impressionable youths.

Apple recently removed white power bands from iTunes, following criticism from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), but Amazon.com continues to offer their music for download and hard copy purchase. Please sign the petition to urge the online retail giant to stop supporting hate speech and racism, and to pull white power music from their site!

We are concerned with your continued practice of hosting white power music on Amazon.com. As you know, white power bands, such as Skrewdriver, Max Resist and The Bully Boys recruit young people into the Neonazi movement with catchy songs promoting their racist beliefs. One of the most popular Skrewdriver songs, a punk selection called "White Power," blames non-whites and diverse societies for riots and muggings, while calling for violence with the lyrics, "they should all be shot."

Whether these hateful, provocative lyrics are protected speech is open for debate. But major retailers have the power to ban white power music from their catalogs, therefore limiting its reach amongst impressionable youths.

Apple recently removed white power bands from iTunes, following criticism from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). We respectfully urge you to follow suit and pull white power music from your site. Thank you for taking the time to read and consider our petition.
