Non-Black: Criminality, Misogyny, and Violence

This is a short list of songs which feature non-hip hop, non-black artists who we constantly forgive for their sexist, violent, classist, problematic natures. Because they're white and this sort of behavior doesn't fit our stereotypes of who white people who make rock and roll are. Please keep in mind that I listen to a lot of these songs, despite the fact that I consider myself conscious of feminism and intersectional oppression.

Trigger Warning: Slurs, gay bashing, violence, misogyny, racism, ableism, classism eminent.
