Thanks for listening! We concur: it was terribly racist of the record store management.

God forbid some wadge salve put the NIN album in the rap section. Not only was this ”racist,” it was incredibly so. Can’t listen to one thing these days without some pathetic white guilt emanating from some middle class white woman
