Neighbors protest family’s message

A small brigade of people went door-to-door in a south Kalispell neighborhood Thursday evening, telling others about a family of avowed racists who have moved in.

Their concern is the daughters of Lamb and Lynx Gaede, twin 13-year-old girls who perform music as the group Prussian Blue.

The girls have been featured on national TV news programs such as ABC’s “Primetime” for what that program called “a message of hate.”

One song they recorded, called “Sacrifice,” praises Nazi leader Rudolf Hess and white supremacist Robert Matthews. The girls have performed at rallies for white nationalist causes.

On their Web site, they say, “Today, if you are White, and proud to be White, it is considered politically incorrect by the media. The music that Prussian Blue performs is intended for White people. They hope to help fellow Whites come to understand that love for one’s race is a beautiful gift that we should celebrate.”

The Gaede girls, their mother, April, and stepfather, Mark Harrington, moved to Kalispell from Bakersfield, Calif., which April Gaedes said on “Primetime” is “not white enough.”

I have no problem being proud of one's cultural heritage. But then most of my heritage comes from the countries of Western Civilization - you know - those places that developed self-rule, those places that developed the belief that all men are created equal - in other words, those places that influenced America in its path toward greatness.

But pride based on a person's skin color, musculature, bone structure - no thanks.

I tried to figure out from the posts on this thread, whether these girls really are racists, or if it's just overblown hype from the media. I couldn't tell from the posts. It seems everybody has an opinion, and many of them are knee-jerk, uninformed opinions.

Thanks for posting that video. The girls themselves answered all my questions. And the comments about them being just mediocre singers were so wrong. A sick cat would sound better.

Watch the video in post 129. The girls disgust their views.

Should I correct my spelling? No, I think "disgust" sums it up pretty well.

Also try this interesting article which, in turn contains several interesting links.

The problem with racism was that it fostered the attitude that others were animals, therefore their lives didn't matter.

Racists claim some people are lower because of their race, not because of anything they do. If these people choose to descend to the level of animals, what's wrong with recognizing it?

Here is the response I got for my email. Deep in denial:

You need an elementary logic course, love of one's own
people in no way implies hate for any other. Thinking,
you should try it sometime.

If you hate someone for hating others, you indulge in the same attitude you hate. It's called hypocrisy.

Racism is about judging people by their appearance rather than by their character. To racists, there is no humanity, there is them and their is us. In their world, there's no such thing as individuals. And when you get used to judging people you don't even know based on the way they are, its rarely like who they actually are. People who are racists have issues with themselves that lead them to project all their negative qualities onto others. But that doesn't make what they're doing right.

These girls should be allowed to sing whatever they choose.

No one suggested different. But they do not have a right to an audience.

[stands2reason]

I think they are both racist.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

This thread is turning my stomach.

It's actually considered PC by some to condemn white racism without mentioning, "well, they get away with it, it's not fair!"

As if two wrongs now make a right.

[stands2reason]

Lots of "but" monkeys here on this thread...

[BykrBayb]

Their mother should be arrested for child abuse. I doubt they will ever overcome what she's done to them. Hopefully they will learn at least some of the truth.

I've emailed my congressman and senator asking them to introduce a bill to remove all race questions from government documents. No response yet.

You know, if I saw a black person complain about white racism when shown an example of black racism, I'd say they were FOS.

And considering I'm an equal opportunity $#it caller, I say you are as well.

[stands2reason]

What's the problem?

Two wrongs don't make a right.

[stands2reason]

Wah.

It upsets you that people make a big deal about white supremacism.

What a stand to take.

[EveningStar]

It might be time to stand up and say I am proud to be white instead of apologizing for it.

How about doing neither. Check out post #182.
