WTF the people in Sublime are White?

[CrazyLazy]

So I just found out after listening to Sublime for years that the people in the band are white. I am not racist or anything but I guess from their lyrics I always assumed they were black. This total misrepresentation has me in awe. Was I the only one in the dark or were other people here swindled as well?

You didn't get any of the hubbub when Bradley died? It was all over. I guess some of you probably weren't born yet...nevermind.

On the other hand, did you know Kanye West is black??

Did you know the lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish is black!?

I believe they were just poor young and in a city. Usually have the same problems. Makes you a little color blind.

You know, I couldn't tell if Michael Jackson is black or white. But, according to him it doesn't matter.

 

[Vehemence]

Yuck!

If you like Sublime, check out the Long Beach dub All Stars.

Also go check out skunk records and their bands.

Snow is also a white guy!

Who?

Snow's "Informer" has been recorded twice in the Guinness Book of World Records as the best selling reggae single in U.S. history, as well as the highest charting reggae single in history.

Is that not enough? OK, he is also Canadian!

Not sure about the other bands, but the boldfaced ones are worth checking out indeed.


Many members of Sublime were in LBDA:

EDIT: Apparently that is also true for Long Beach shortbus. Alot of interesting info at wikipedia link above.

You can't tell they're not black just by hearing their voices?

Seriously. I just assumed they were white, or maybe Latino. But certainly not Black.
