Lamb Gaede. They were formed by their mother April Gaede and lamb Lennon Gaede who started the band in 2003. Their songs were those that promoted indirect hate and the group often referred to the Holocaust as being a myth.
So here's a little of their life before and after the band.
The fraternal twins were born on June 30,1992 n Bakersfield California to German American parents. They were homeschooled by their mom, who herself was raised in Nazi ideology by her father, using the very same ideology. They were raised told being that Hitler was an amazing man and denying all nazi wrongdoings. The twins first performed at euro fest 2001, a white nationalist festival where they sang. The following year they learned how to play instruments and in 2003 appeared on a VH1 special hate rock and then on a BBC documentary Louis and the Nazis. The duo released their debut album towards the end of 2004 but after 6 years the twins decided to stop touring altogether. When they decided to stop touring they had a new album coming out that was very different from their first album which spewed hate.When asked about why they stuck with the name Prussian blue they said that it was a nod to their German heritage and later said that it raises the question of the lack of it in the gas chambers which they said should show that the killings within these chambers never happened. In 2011 they publicly said in an interview with The Daily that they no longer were white nationalist and were liberal. Many suspect their change to liberalism was due to the fact that one of the twins started using marijuana to help lower the symptoms of cancer and became active supporters for the legalization of marijuanahttp://yaledailynews.com/blog/2005/10/27/the-bittersweet-melody-of-racist-tunes/

This case to me shows how people minds will not change if they were taught from a young age to hate upon minorities and certain groups. How are they supposed to adapt and to understand people of other races if they have been condition to treat minorities as inferior. For society to change this I think parents need to be more educated and realize that skin color really doesn't matter, what does matter is who they are as a person.
ReplyDeleteI feel like in this kind of situation children do learn from their parents in a very wrong way. I know that the girls learned about hatred and all that from their mother but I they do not seem to understand the information that they received. It's like they are singing about things they have no knowledge about and maybe they do now but in the past they seemed very blank about the situation.
ReplyDeleteI think this raises an interesting question as to how much are parents to blame for children's wrongdoings? As we can see in this instance, the twins renounced their former ways acknowledging it was wrong. So in cases of the court, especially involving minors, should the parents be blamed?
