Danzig is presently taking part in a handful of West Coast exhibits 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 accessible at his exhibits. To cite the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in regards to the image, it is “certainly one of quite a few historic European symbols appropriated by the Nazis of their try to invent an idealized ‘Aryan/Norse’ heritage.”
And yeah I do know, the Sunwheel pre-dates the Nazis and was appropriated for a shitty use. Nevertheless it’s the identical factor as sporting a swastika and attempting to say it is really an historic non secular image – everyone knows what you are attempting to do right here.
Danzig hasn’t commented on the problem but, and possibly he did not know? Who is aware of who accredited this, however nonetheless – it is not precisely a great look, and apparently the intense proper wing racists are already welcoming him as certainly one of their very own. So if Danzig actually did not imply this, he would possibly wanna get on commenting in regards to the state of affairs like… now. And if he actually did imply it, then that is a complete separate article with some very stronly worded language.
