Boycott MySpace for homophobic cRAP music

My MySpace.com account was deleted when I questioned their sponsorship of homophobic rap "music". It's outrageous that these so called musicians can get away with their vicious attacks on the gay community with impunity. I guess MySpace will tolerate just about anything except criticizm. I'm new at this organizing business. I'd appreciate any help in getting the word out on MySpace censorship and sponsorship of bigotry. Let's organize a boycott.

My e-mail to MySpace:
Excuse me but why is My Space sponsoring homophobic, hate mongering cRAP music? My buddy Tom has not responded to my e-mail about this subject. It is not acceptable for these viscious, loud mouth, no talent, hate mongers to profit from out pain. There is a large gay presence on myspace. Blog, e-mail, bulletin as many friends as you can. Maybe Tom will get the message.

    Ok, enough of the rap bashing (even if it's the phobic stuff)

    MySpace, on the other hand, you can dog out ANYTIME you damn well please.

      I don't understand why your account was deleted (that's very odd - did they send an explanation to you via e mail???) BUT, I think you should have backed up your message with specific URL's of specific material that you found offensive. I think it's asking alot of a free host to review every piece of audio that is uploaded and listen for lyrics that might offend someone - or, to research the backgrounds of certain artists to find out if they've publicly said something that was offensive, and therefor ban their music.

      Also, I think you're in a difficult place by specifically mentioning rap music (or cRAP) as you call it - obviously you also hate the music (as you stated above) and that kind of diminishes your argument - there are alot of rockers out there that could just as easily piss me off...

      just my two cents
