Danzig<\/strong> is currently playing a handful of West Coast shows and for whatever reason, his merch line is kinda racist.<\/p>\n

Numerous Danzig fans have pointed out Danzig<\/strong>‘s use of the Sonnenrad \u2013 or Sunwheel, or Black Sun \u2013 on t-shirts and posters available at his shows. To quote the Anti-Defamation League (ADL)<\/a> about the symbol, it’s “one of a number of ancient European symbols appropriated by the Nazis in their attempt to invent an idealized ‘Aryan\/Norse’ heritage.”<\/p>\n

And yeah I know, the Sunwheel pre-dates the Nazis and was appropriated for a shitty use. But it’s the same thing as wearing a swastika and trying to say it’s actually an ancient religious symbol \u2013 we all know what you’re trying to do here.<\/p>\n

Danzig<\/strong> hasn’t commented on the issue yet, and maybe he didn’t know? Who knows who approved this, but still \u2013 it’s not exactly a good look, and apparently the extreme right wing racists are already welcoming him as one of their own<\/a>. So if Danzig<\/strong> truly didn’t mean this, he might wanna get on commenting about the situation like\u2026 now. And if he truly did mean it, then that’s a whole separate article with some very stronly worded language.<\/p>\n
