Yeah, like a bunch of idiots who probably don’t even know what NYHC means are going to scare this band by trolling them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Worldwide hardcore legends Sick of it All<\/strong> have never been a band to shy away from standing up for causes they believe in. Vocalist Lou Koller (as does the rest of the band) keeps himself connected to happenings not only within his, quite troubled, country, but also due to the relationships the band has fostered all over the planet over their 35 years of traveling the world, is very cued in to what\u2019s going on well beyond America\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n

Yesterday the band put up our post about an amazing event taking place in New York City on March 3 called NYC Migra Punk Fest<\/strong> (https:\/\/uniteasia.org\/new-york-city-host-immigrant-focused-punk-fest-march-3-back-hard\/<\/a>) featuring various American punk bands with immigrant members. The organizers of the fest were incredibly touched to get such recognition from a hardcore band of their stature. As we dove into the comments sections however, a whole war of the most racist, nationalistic rhetoric was being waged on their page which left us shocked.<\/p>\n

Here are some choice responses by absolute buffoons who have no clue what Sick of it All is about as they attack the band for supporting various causes such as immigration, race, transgender issues, amongst others:<\/p>\n

Attacking immigration:<\/p>\n

\u201cWTF is this \u201cimmigrant\u201d thing?? Nobody has a problem with them, it\u2019s the ILLEGALS that people have a problem with\u2026Don\u2019t get brainwashed and political, your [sic] better then that SOIA.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m calling ICE and all you criminals are getting deported!!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Attacking \u201cleftist liberals\u201d and religion:<\/p>\n

\u201cIllegals! Wtf are you just as crazy now as the lefty snow flake Political bullshit artist? 7 countries known to harbor and train terrorists out of 51 other Islamic country\u2019s and You got a fucking problem with keeping my Country and Culture safe !!then Fuck you and Fuck off!!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Attacking transgender issues:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s next, a show to support poor snowflakes that can\u2019t figure out which bathroom to shit in?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Disavowing to ever support Sick of it All again:<\/p>\n

\u201cFuck lame\u2026 You\u2019ll never get a dime from me again SOIA.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

What blows us away is that Sick of it All is a band with lyrical content that has always touched upon social\/political issues and have never sugar coated content to sell themselves out in order to gain a larger fanbase. They say it like it is and wear their heart on their sleeves and have been doing exactly that since1986! Are you only JUST finding this out? The band was born and raised in the diverse streets of New York City \u2013 you think these guys wouldn\u2019t understand the plight of those people who are ridiculed for their race, color, creed, sexual orientation, gender or religion? Have you been to NYC? You think a band with the following lyrics wouldn\u2019t be a band that would support causes\u00a0that empowered the marginalized?<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are those who change the laws
\nFor gain and furthering their needs
\nA small group possess the power
\nA minority dictating what\u2019s good for the majority<\/p>\n

We must fight \u2013 Injustice system
\nHave no rights \u2013 Injustice system
\nWe must fight \u2013 Injustice system
\nHave no rights \u2013 Injustice system\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI see the whites that hate the blacks
\nblacks that hate the jews, brother against brother
\nand they\u2019re all to blind to see\u2026
\nWhy don\u2019t you open up your eyes so you can see
\nopen up your ears so you can hear
\ntake a look around and you will find
\ntake a look around and you will find out why \u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cComfort is what we crave
\nThe truth is disturbing vile and brave
\nChastise the ones who bring it to light<\/strong>
\nWith your head in the sand you wait to die<\/p>\n

THINK WE\u00b4RE SAFE
\nSAFE FROM HARM
\nSTAND UP NOW
\nSOUND THE ALARM\u201d<\/p>\n

From Sick of it All showing support to the downtrodden so they feel emboldened to continue their long torturous battle with racism, sexism, misogyny, anti-gay rights, anti-transgender issues, islamophobia, anti-immigration, etc., all of which is getting worse every day, they\u2019re getting attacked on their own page.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about you but we\u2019ll be blasting Sick of it All loud and proud for the rest of our lives. Hopefully the band will hear our voices as we thank them for providing us with the music and lyrics to scream back into the faces of racist bigoted fools who live in fear of what they don\u2019t know or care to understand.<\/p>\n

Fuck Trump\u2019s slogan \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d \u2013 Sick of it All should put out a hat with this slogan \u201cMake Hardcore About SOMETHING Again\u201d.<\/p>\n
