BAKERSFIELD - The young twin girls accused of being white supremacists were on the Inga Barks Radio Talk Show Thursday with their mother on Kern Radio to spread the message of their beliefs.
Lamb and Lynx Gaede said their message is not about hate, but pride, and accused the media of portraying them as being brainwashed by an overbearing racist mother.
The city’s TV news stations were present as well as a documentary film crew from London.
The girls received international notoriety after their Prussian Blue songs were accused of having a racist message instilled in them.
The Tehachapi twins have garnered more international attention with a white nationalist website, and two CD’s to push the family’s beliefs through music.
But despite the many forms of media where the two are allowed to express themselves, the family still feels they have been misrepresented.
“We respect what you believe, but you should be the same with our views. You shouldn’t call us haters and Nazis,” Lamb Gaede said.
When the fact the girls wore Hitler t-shirts was mentioned on the show, Lamb Gaede said, “We did but that was a joke. It was one time. It wasn’t serious.”
The two 14-year-olds alongside their mother, April Gaede, spoke on the radio about what is serious about their beliefs.
“We don’t hate people. Obviously it would be pretty retarded to hate someone for the color of their skin,” Lynx Gaede said. “Basically, all we want to do is preserve our heritage.”
“I think there are differences in races,” said April Gaede. “I don’t think that it’s a negative thing. I think it can be a positive thing.”
In 2005 the twins were prohibited from performing at the Kern County Fair, and a short time later they left the area to move to Montana.
“There are a lot of people up there who have very similar ancestry to us,” April Gaede said, “and there are a lot of clubs and organizations and festivals that celebrate our European heritage a lot more than down here.”
“The response I want to have to someone who I think has racist views is I want to hate them, but they’re beautiful young ladies who I really think have been so influenced by their upbringing,” said Barks.
That upbringing leaves the girls facing constant criticism and rejection from even their own race in which they claim pride.
Barks said she thought for weeks about the decision to have the group on her show, and decided that it was important for the community to understand their views and the views of the sub-culture they are a part of before passing judgment.
She does not regret her decision and hopes that the interview was, at the least, educational.

I don't understand, what does this prove. They are marketers of hate pure and simple. The fact that they say they wore the Hitler t-shirts as joke was maybe funny to them and their ilk but I believe that the 6+ million jews killed by that lunatic don't find it funny.
Package these losers any way you like, their view are abhorent.
Nothing like more information to give ALL sides, thanks. My ten pin bowling sessions call (laughs). I hope this lively and sometimes a little acerbic give and take continues. I will access again at about 1pm PST.
I have just got time to say that there are more pressing things in this old world, than a long dead dictator. He is a bit of an old red herring, since he ain't coming back.
