It's up to you to decide whether a musicians worldview impacts your enjoyment of the music, I for myself don't really care (although I have a jewish background), as long as he doesn't scream racist bull**** in my ear.
An ex-girlfriend of mine, who is black, was also a big fan.
I wouldn't buy his albums though, wouldn't want to finance such people.
Yeah, that's the thing, the music itself is not racist, so I might listen to it, but it's still gives me a weird feeling. An uncomfortable feeling.
