In the comments section of a recent post on Lazy-i, a user by the name of "Omaha Music guy" wrote the following racist remark about a dear friend of mine, Roger Lewis:
"#2. Connor’s house boy’s band won best indie? Sorry but everybody knows that they begged for every opening slot in and out of town and now they must be begging Marq as well."
Omaha Music guy, I'd like to talk to you in person at your earliest convenience. Are you are prepared to stand behind your statement with your actual identity?
If you'd prefer to not make your identity known to the internet public at large, feel free to email me at bsbrodin[at]gmail[dot]com. I'll keep it between us.
As someone else mentioned, you should be ashamed of yourself. Anyone who knows me understands I'm a huge proponent of debates about these kinds of things (awards, artist-pay, etc.), but your racist swing at one of the kindest dudes in town is downright disgusting. I'd like the opportunity to explain why, in person.
Regards,
Ben Brodin
