Danzig is at present 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) concerning the image, it is “certainly one of quite a few 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. Nevertheless it’s the identical factor as carrying a swastika and making an attempt to say it is really an historical spiritual 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 accredited this, however nonetheless – it isn’t precisely an excellent look, and apparently the acute proper wing racists are already welcoming him as certainly one of their very own. So if Danzig actually did not imply this, he may wanna get on commenting concerning the scenario like… now. And if he actually did imply it, then that is an entire separate article with some very stronly worded language.
