Access of Evil
Hello, I'm Tamara Palmer -- my friends call me Teemoney. I'm a writer/editor/DJ from the San Francisco Yay Area. Mr. Smooth has kindly asked me to be a guest blogger here, which is an honor, and I can assure dear readers that he's given me a tough set of standards and practices to adopt in my posts. . .
Thought I'd start off today with something that really makes my bile boil, especially after the recent KKKramer drama. Two 13-year-old twin girls who call themselves Prussian Blue are at number four in the Billboard charts this week for selling 91K copies of an album called End of a Black World.
(thanks to stic.man of dead prez for pointing this out, as well as this background story that follows)
Young Singers Spread Racist Hate
Duo considered the Olsen Twins of the White Nationalist Movement
(abcnews.com)
They may remind you of another famous pair of singers, the Olsen Twins, and the girls say they like that. But unlike the Olsens, who built a media empire on their fun-loving, squeaky-clean image, Lamb and Lynx are cultivating a much darker personna. They are white nationalists and use their talents to preach a message of hate. . .
[EDIT: Turns out this is a hoax, and I am so glad! I had a nagging voice in the back of my head that said to check the actual charts, but I didn't. But let me just say that I'd rather look silly for falling for this than to actually have it be true. My faith in humanity remains.]

I'd bet they are grads of Jesus Camp.
It's a shame what they put in kids.

An expository piece about a few white people that have extremely prejudiced attitudes does not give merit to the statement that "85 percent of white people [are] savages...." In reality, ignorant backwoods bible thumpers like these people are the minority, as outspoken as they are. These peoples' beliefs do not in any way represent all, or even 85%, of white people.

Interesting: I can't find any mention in this week's charts at billboard.biz of prussian blue, nor are they on any billboard chart period.
I think this is a hoax.

look we all have our own opinions . and i would like to believe that its the hicks that are the only ones that believe in this garbage, but that simply isnt true . how do you think they get the money to distribute this shit? rich white folks.
im sure there are nice non hateing white folks out there in america ( 15 percent of you. maybe even a little more who knows ) but for the most part this is how i see it and im positive a lot of other people feel the same way. (world wide)

Come on Tamara, "number four in the Billboard charts this week"? You must really have a distorted view of level of racism in this country to believe that. That info came from a phony story. Go to billboard.com and check for yourself- they're not on the charts at all.

Wait. Prussian Blue is real, it's the chart placement that's the hoax.
