Oh hoo, I just think that is sooooo wrong...

Duo Considered the Olsen Twins of the White Nationalist Movement
Oct. 20, 2005 — Thirteen-year-old twins Lamb and Lynx Gaede have one album out, another on the way, a music video, and lots of fans.
They may remind you another famous pair of singers, the Olsen Twins, and the girls say they like that. But unlike the Olsens, who built a media empire on their fun-loving, squeaky-clean image, Lamb and Lynx are cultivating a much darker personna. They are white nationalists and use their talents to preach a message of hate.
Known as "Prussian Blue" — a nod to their German heritage and bright blue eyes — the girls from Bakersfield, Calif., have been performing songs about white nationalism before all-white crowds since they were nine.
"We're proud of being white, we want to keep being white," said Lynx. "We want our people to stay white … we don't want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race."
Lynx and Lamb have been nurtured on racist beliefs since birth by their mother April. "They need to have the background to understand why certain things are happening," said April, a stay-at-home mom who no longer lives with the twins' father. "I'm going to give them, give them my opinion just like any, any parent would."
April home-schools the girls, teaching them her own unique perspective on everything from current to historical events. In addition, April's father surrounds the family with symbols of his beliefs — specifically the Nazi swastika. It appears on his belt buckle, on the side of his pick-up truck and he's even registered it as his cattle brand with the Bureau of Livestock Identification.
"Because it's provocative," explains April of the cattle brand, "to him he thinks it's important as a symbol of freedom of speech that he can use it as his cattle brand."
Teaching Hate
Songs like "Sacrifice" — a tribute to Nazi Rudolf Hess, Hitler's deputy Fuhrer — clearly show the effect of the girls' upbringing. The lyrics praise Hess as a "man of peace who wouldn't give up."
"It really breaks my heart to see those two girls spewing out that kind of garbage," said Ted Shaw, civil rights advocate and president of the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund — though Shaw points out that the girls aren't espousing their own opinions but ones they're being taught.
On that point, April Gaede and Ted Shaw apparently agree.
"Well, all children pretty much espouse their parents' attitudes," she said. "We're white nationalists and of course that's a part of our life and I'm going to share that part of my life with my children."
Since they began singing, the girls have become such a force in the white nationalist movement, that David Duke — the former presidential candidate, one-time Ku-Klux-Klan grand wizard and outspoken white supremacist — uses the twins to draw a crowd.
Prussian Blue supporter Erich Gliebe, operator of one of the nation's most notorious hate music labels, Resistance Records, hopes younger performers like Lynx and Lamb will help expand the base of the White Nationalist cause.
"Eleven and 12 years old," he said, "I think that's the perfect age to start grooming kids and instill in them a strong racial identity."
Gliebe, who targets young, mainstream white rockers at music festivals like this past summer's "Ozzfest," says he uses music to get his message out.
But with names like Blue-Eyed Devils and Angry Aryans, these tunes are far more extreme than the ones sung by Lamb and Lynx.
"We give them a CD, we give them something as simple as a stick, they can go to our Web site and see other music and download some of our music," said Gliebe. "To me, that's the best propaganda tool for our youth."
A Taste for Hate
Gliebe says he hopes that as younger racist listeners mature, so will their tastes for harder, angrier music like that of Shawn Sugg of Max Resist.
One of Sugg's songs is a fantasy piece about a possible future racial war that goes: "Let the cities burn, let the streets run red, if you ain't white you'll be dead."
"I'd like to compare it to gangsta rap," explained Sugg, "where they glorify, you know, shooting n****** and pimping whores."
Sugg shrugs off criticism that music like his should not be handed out to schoolyard children, arguing that "it's just music, it's not like you're handing out AK-47s."
Perhaps not, but Shaw says it's the ideas in the music that are dangerous.
"When you talk about people being dead if they're not white," said Shaw, "I don't think there is much question that that is hateful."
A Place to Call Home
Despite the success of Prussian Blue and bands like Max Resist within the White Nationalism movement, most Americans don't accept their racist message.
Like many children across the country, Lamb and Lynx decided to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina — the white ones.
The girls' donations were handed out by a White Nationalist organization who also left a pamphlet promoting their group and beliefs — some of the intended recipients were more than a little displeased.
After a day of trying, the supplies ended up with few takers, dumped at a local shop that sells Confederate memorabilia.
Last month, the girls were scheduled to perform at the local county fair in their hometown. But when some people in the community protested, Prussian Blue was removed from the line-up.
But even before that, April had decided that Bakersfield was not "white" enough, so she sold her home, and hopes that she and the girls can find an all-white community in the Pacific Northwest.
"I don't agree with their crap but I see no difference from what they do and what alot of black rappers do."
Except the media doesn't call the black rappers "racist." It's ok from the media point of view to be a racist bigot, as long as your skin is not white.
Double standard? Nah. /s
You didn't get the memo. White pride is evil. Black pride is good. Gay pride is even better.
...except rap/hip hop is softening. It's turning into something else.
That's an ignorant and completely clueless load of bull. Plus, it is giving these twisted little freaks too much of a free ride -they're RACIST. Outright racist, Hitler-loving, Anti-American scumbags.
Sure, there are no doubt a couple or three acts in Rap that are probably as hideous as these worthless sacks of stupid, but the fact that they aren't being slammed DOESN'T excuse the fecal matter these little Nazi proto-murderesses are spreading.
As soon as one idiot is identified, the fact that some other may have not been DOESN'T excuse the first. These two garbage-spewing evil punks should be castigated, not given a free ride because you "heard about this one song eleven years ago that wasn't very nice".
Call evil, evil, don't give these neo-Nazi subhumans a "pass" because some other person some time earlier wasn't criticized enough by the main media. Their failure doesn't mean that WE should give anti-American, pro-fascist dirtbags a pass ANY time we encounter them.
There are only 3% of difference in genes between a human and an ape......so.....1% is quite significant.
I AM NOT A RACIST, just pointing out how figures can be twisted a bit to mean something else.
On the other hand,if you think genes play no role in the behavior of ALL animals, you should buy a Doberman to herd cattle and take a Beagle on your duck hunt.
Bite me...
they can be racists all they want unless you want to regulate us all.
Besides your making excuses for the same beliefs when blacks hold em.
I didn't hear about one song 11 years ago, I've listened to blacks like kayne west....the instructor in NC...to name a couple in recent history.
I say if you don't like what their singing don't buy their music. I'm not firing up my torch and pitchfork over these little girls, ignorant and clueless as I may be.
O.K., and by that rule, we should all start calling Farrakhan evil (he says "white people" are "devils"), and all the rest?
The point here is that most people have long since deemed Hitler and all that to be evil (he was, what he ordered and inspired was, all except Wagner, whose music I quite admire), BUT, that there are equal to far more awful evils alive and speaking today.
There's a trend involved to denigrate "white nationalism" as if it represents all "white people" and yet what denigrates it has now become as bad, as evil, to my view. Sometimes worse. Calling for people to be exterminated based upon the skin pigmentation is as evil, the same evil, as was Hitler's. AND what has taken place in Central Europe in recent history. AND what has taken place in areas of Africa in recent history (although that was interracial, it was still an extermination of a people by another).
There is a lot of media today that is just egging on this sort of one-note-hatred about 'white people', and that includes various Christian peoples given that "all of us white people" are SUPPOSED to be "white nationalists" according to most media and to the racists of other races on this earth, as I write this. Hitler had nothing on them, to my view.
Or perhaps a whippet to to do snow rescues.
I am just saying that is is wrong, regardless of whether you are black or white. Myself, I grew up in Hawaii as a white kid. I am telling you, I was the minority there. I got discriminated against in countless ways. The worst was from the teachers in my school. Either of Japanese decent, Phillipino, or Hawaiian, there were few if any white teachers. All of the above didn't see the point of teaching a stupid Haole kid. By third grade, I was below first grade in every area. I know discrimination, from the inside. It is wrong Period.
You know it's a tough crowd when you can't even bad mouth Hitler without catching flak.
I just have to add the redundant issue here and that is that German Nationalism with Hitler as their messiah was founded in liberal socialism, and the very origins of that politic as a social movement began with homosexual activists in "gay, Golden Age Berlin."
It was a social movement born out of liberalism, rooted in the liberal excess conceived by (ha) homosexual activists. Who originally received Hitler's gratitude, although he later decided they, too, were not worthy...but they actually gave birth to the movement itself, of German Nationalism, the liberal, mostly theatrical, community of Berlin.
So, think about that today when you read Maureen Dowd, Michael Moore and the evil Cindy Sheehan, along with Johh Kerry, Farrakah, Jessie Jackson's and Clinton's phoney spiritualism, the whole lot of them, marching toward...well, it looks like Hitler's ghost.
Yeah, I can witness to those experiences, for sure. Although not a child there, certainly have known enough parents of children in Hawaii schools who, as white children, have very cruel experiences trying to just attend school, and stay in them.
I don't think history is repeating itself. Hitler et al were hybrids who knew how to accessorize. I think what we're seeing with the rise in white nationalism, black nationalism etc is the last stand of tribalism in developed countries.
The old Kingfish should know. He laid the populist (read fascist) direction of the Democrat party, H. Ross Perot, Pat Buchannan, well I guess I'll stop right there.
The story isn't the girls..there will always be a few nuts, but just who are the audiences and how big are they, that's the truly frightening part.
There are no "degrees" of hatred.
Black rappers are denounced fairly regularly, most famously by Stanley Crouch (a jazz head). But mostly the market is taking care of the hateful rap lyrics. The music industry is discovering (yet again) people listen to music to have a good time, not for a political agenda.
