Also this, which made chuckle several times. I have conveniently bolded the most amusing parts...Erika Snyder(wife of the leader of the racist National Alliance wrote:“A lot of people get into racism for the wrong reasons.”
article wrote:Homeschooled through the sixth grade, Lamb and Lynx enrolled at a local public school, Beardsley Junior High, last year. After a brief adjustment period, they joined the ranks of the “popular, snotty girls,” says former classmate Elizabeth Belsky, a brainiac type whose musical tastes run more toward show tunes than German war anthems. By her reckoning, the girls have “had a lot of boyfriends”; she recalls quite a bit of hands-in-back- pockets action. “They had everyone in that school wrapped around their fingers.”
Word of the twins’ band eventually got around, although the nuances of their songs eluded most kids. While the majority of students were enthusiastic about knowing bona fide celebrities, Belsky thought that they were “weird babes” and Googled them. “I was like, ‘Oh, my God…’ ” recalls Belsky, whose experience with Nazis up to that point was limited to seeing The Producers.
At first she kept the information to herself. Summer came, and Lamb and Lynx withdrew from Beardsley to resume homeschooling, in anticipation of the move. But when Belsky saw a flyer promoting their show at the Kern County Fair in September that described the band as a “variety act,” she dashed off a letter of protest to the local paper, The Bakersfield Californian. “I didn’t think it would be right for a white-nationalist band to play for people who had no idea what they’d be listening to,” she says. “Whatever they stand for, it’s certainly not variety.”
After the paper assigned a story on the subject, the fair’s chief executive, Bill Blair, cut the girls from the bill “for the safety of the performers,” he explained.
As word of the cancellation buzzed through Beardsley, the twins’ supporters targeted Belsky, who says she was “assaulted with a volleyball twice, called names, and screamed at.” The girls’ biggest defender? “The mulatto girl stood up for us!” Lamb says, but according to Belsky the girl didn’t know they were racists. Before long the storm blew over, though, and Belsky was recently elected secretary of the student council.
