Racist music

An advertisement for a late 19th century minstrel show featuring racist songs

Racist music is music that expresses racism. Throughout history, music has been used as a propaganda tool to promote a variety of political ideologies and ideas, including racism.[1]

Since the worldwide civil rights movements of the 1960s, the commercial production of racist music has largely ended. Today, the production and distribution of racist music is illegal or it is strictly regulated in many countries and jurisdictions.[2] However, various hate groups continue to compose music expressing racist themes and imagery on a smaller scale.[3]
