Neo-Nazi propaganda--horrible!

Bastet · Kate Spade

I've heard about those girls before. That's just sick. I feel bad for them, their mother should be ashamed of herself. Can we say brainwashed? Sometimes homeschooling isn't the best thing.

theotherjess · Chanel

That is disgusting. The whole bit about how they were the perfect age for "grooming" is so disturbing. I can't believe that there are still people like this today.

atlgirl · Gucci

Oh fer cryin' out loud - WHY don't we have people take a test before they can procreate?!

Hopefully they'll manage to grow up and become enlightened despite their parents, but this is horrifying.

Cricket · Gucci

That disgusts me. My sister was telling me about these girls. They went to the Elem/ Jr. High that my sister and I went to, and she now teaches at. The "White Pride" racists have been prevalent in the community we grew up in, and I hoped it went away, but I guess not. I remember the KKK wanted to do a march in front the other Jr. High in our community (about 15 years ago), and it was fought and fought, but the KKK won the court battle and did it anyway. Looking for new recruits, I guess.

OOOH, just saw that the city that our suburb is next too is "not white enough" for these girls' mother, so she sold her house and is moving to an all-white community in the NW. Good riddance.

That is just so sick.

halleybird · Hermes

that is disgusting. What's sad is that since these girls are homeschooled, they are probably getting zero information from the world outside their parents and their parents' friends. Their popularity just reinforces their beliefs. Gross.

Christine · Coach

I agree, this is totally sick. It just makes me shake my head in disbelief.

How can that guy think that because they're "just songs", that they're not doing any real harm? I don't care if you're not handing out guns! What an awful message.

Lilykind · Hermes

Wow...those girls really are very cute. So sad.

But oh man...I have a Latino friend who is from Bakersfield and who is one of the most awesome people I have ever met. How dare they say he (or anyone else of any color/race/creed/religion/etc ec.) is not worthy.

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

the entire article is horrifying but this actually made me gasp out loud:

"Eleven and 12 years old," he said, "I think that's the perfect age to start grooming kids and instill in them a strong racial identity."

remind me again why free speech is a good thing?

dixiegirl · BCBG

i read a really interesting article on this the other day...i can't remember where it's from. it basically talked about how other races work to keep their racial identities but as soon as white people do it is suddenly a horrible, racist act. i'm not saying that i support this AT ALL...i personally think it's disgusting...the article just opened a very interesting perspective for me. i'll try to find it.

calichic · Dooney & Bourke

OMG, I was going to post this. I think it is totally scary that this type of thought still exists and that they have a market! I can't believe that they are trying to say that it is *just* music. It plays into people's psyches and evokes feelings, music is VERY powerful. Just makes me ill.

I understand what you're saying, but I think it *is* worse when white people do it b/c they seem to be subtly or not so subtly promoting hate & bigotry towards people of other ethnic or racial backgrounds in order to preserve their own (and I am white, BTW). I find it interesting that these people call themselves "white nationalists." To me that term is simply a euphamism for the way they really see and portray themselves, as "white supremacists." I could be totally wrong, but I'm not aware of many other cultural/racial groups trying to preserve or celebrate their identities by preaching violence & denigrating people of other races.

so frightening. i feel really bad for those girls--they are too young to know better if that's all their parents have been teaching them all along. gross.

and "lamb" and "lynx"--these are their real names?

also, MK and ashley olsen are many things, but i didn't think they were "singers"--am i wrong?

They were singers...I kid you not. They even had a Greatest Hits!

bumblebee · Coach

hm, i stand corrected. lol

tina242 · Kate Spade

I saw these girls on Bill Maher. I am shocked at this.

atl girl: Oh fer cryin' out loud - WHY don't we have people take a test before they can procreate?!

Thank you! I've been saying that for years!! I know $$ would for sure be the biggest concern, but I think it's worth it!

alb wrote: "...I'm not aware of many other cultural/racial groups trying to preserve or celebrate their identities by preaching violence & denigrating people of other races."

That's so true, and so sad. These kids are just so gullible and easily influenced...why? We have racism here and there in my family, but I know better! I wish we could find a way to "fix" racists. I really do. It's completely irrational - it stems from ignorance and fear. Can't these nutjobs just focus on trying to make the world a better place??

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

The first thing I thought, when I opened the article.. Wow, those girls are really adorable..

It is a shame that their hearts and brains are so, so ugly.

I blame the parents fully. These girls are just too young to even know better. Lamb and Linx are just IGNORANT. It is the best way to describe them. I hope they grow up to learn another viewpoint before they get into some serious trouble, in the "real world".

tina242 · Kate Spade

You know what? I don't care that they're adorable....in fact, we act like how they look matters at all! I mean what if they were ugly? The fact of the matter is they're spreading hate...I mean sure they're young and easily influenced, but it's pretty sad that their message is getting put out there in the press just b/c they're freaking' cute. Ick.

Sorry and not to attack I just hate hate.

NCshopper · Hermes

OMG!!! I just read the article and that is HORRIBLE!!!

Part of me really can't help but feel terribly sorry for these two poor girls. They obviously don't know any better and their parents are the ones that have brainwashed them into this whole thing. Those poor girls are going to grow up and one day either a) be extremely regrettful and extremely embarrassed or b) procreate and feed this same garbage to their kids. I HOPE HOPE HOPE that at some point in their lives they understand that their parents had seriously misled them and grow up to be accepting human beings.
