Danzig is at the moment taking part in a handful of West Coast reveals and for no matter purpose, his merch line is kinda racist.
Quite a few Danzig followers have identified Danzig’s use of the Sonnenrad – or Sunwheel, or Black Solar – on t-shirts and posters out there at his reveals. To cite the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) concerning the image, it is “one in all a lot of historical European symbols appropriated by the Nazis of their try and invent an idealized ‘Aryan/Norse’ heritage.”
And yeah I do know, the Sunwheel pre-dates the Nazis and was appropriated for a shitty use. However it’s the identical factor as sporting a swastika and attempting to say it is really an historical non secular image – everyone knows what you are attempting to do right here.
Danzig hasn’t commented on the problem but, and perhaps he did not know? Who is aware of who authorised this, however nonetheless – it is not precisely a superb look, and apparently the intense proper wing racists are already welcoming him as one in all their very own. So if Danzig really did not imply this, he may wanna get on commenting concerning the state of affairs like… now. And if he really did imply it, then that is a complete separate article with some very stronly worded language.
