13 Year Old White Supremicist Pop Singers

In the new GQ (with Lost's Matthew Fox on the cover) there is an article called "Minor Threat" by Aaron Gell. It is about two 13 year old twins who are hitting it big as "pop stars" in the White Nation circuit.

Basically, these girls (who are moving from California because, apparantly, Mexicans live there) are little blonde twins, who have been taught Hitler wasn't bad (he just killed the Jews because he had to), white people should take the Pacific Northwest as their own and other cultures are bad. Very bad.

At first, I was generally pissed off. I mean, really, who the hell is teaching their kids this stuff? And why would people want to listen to music that preaches that white people are morally superior?

Then I was sad for the girls. They're 13, and they have no idea what idiots they are. As they get older, they might realize their mom is a complete moron and has taught them straight out lies. Not only that, but they're so sheltered from other cultures. They won't get to experience (not while their mother has custody anyway) great Chinese food or Spanish Literature. They won't get to befriend exchange students from Nigeria or Australia or Korea. They're missing out on literally a world of culture simply because their mother is a horrible bigot.

Finally, I was actually a little relieved when I stopped to think about what this article means. In a weird way, this article represents that these ideas are so freakish and out of the mainstream, that articles should be written about these people, like circus freaks or something. It shows that America has made some progress. When someone moves out of their neigborhood because a Mexican family moved in, that person is judged outside the national norm. At least, if nothing else, we're making some headway.

Read the article if you get a chance. It is pretty entertaining, and you will have no idea how you should feel after reading it.
