Danzig is presently enjoying 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 obtainable at his exhibits. To cite the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in regards to the image, it is “considered one of quite a lot of 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. But it surely’s the identical factor as carrying a swastika and making an attempt to say it is really an historic non secular image – everyone knows what you are making an attempt to do right here.
Danzig hasn’t commented on the difficulty but, and perhaps he did not know? Who is aware of who accepted this, however nonetheless – it isn’t precisely look, and apparently the acute proper wing racists are already welcoming him as considered 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.
