THE HUTCHINSON REPORT: Music to Hate By and Rebuttal and Challenge From Prussian Blue

     Last October ABC News profiled 14 year-old twin sisters Lamb and Lynx Gaede and their white supremacist band Prussian Blue. It branded them the new musical spokes kids for white supremacy.

     That ignited rage and disgust in their hometown of Bakersfield, California. The pair’s mother said she wanted a whiter place to live and moved to Kalispell, Montana.

     That didn’t quiet the furor. A group of enraged townspeople are now circulating flyers headed, “No Hate Here” and demand that the family pack up and leave.

     That may or may not be a good thing. After all as odious as their hate message is, the twins and their mom have the right to say and sing what they want.

     But even if they were given the swift boot from town, their music and the influence they may have over some impressionable, and naïve white 13 to 19 year-old teens, which is their target audience, can’t easily be booted away. Prussian Blue pumps their music through a 24 hour Internet Radio White, and other Internet sites.

     The sites feature more than 5000 youth oriented white supremacist songs on their play lists. They market their songs through record labels, and websites.

     The twins cleverly mix personal, introspective, giggly teen chatter in their lyrics, along with patriotic appeals to fight for freedom to a stomp down, toe tapping rock beat. That appeals to the musical tastes of many youth. The songs can easily be slipped into an MP3 player and listened to away from the prying ears of adults. In “I Will Bleed For You,” for example, they make a plea for pride and dignity: “Have you no pride in your heritage, and no pride in your name I’m glad that I’m not like you. I know my children are proud of me.” Mine will always stay free.”  (Continued HERE.)

    Meanwhile, Oscar Yeager, the moderator for the Official Prussian Blue Discussion Board, angrily told The Hutchinson Report that neither Prussian Blue or their philosophy of white separatism is racist. He challenged Hutchinson Report Readers to dialogue on the issue on the Prussian Blue Discussion Board. (Continued HERE.)
