Till Deaf Do Us Part
Die Südstaatenflagge zig Jahre nach dem das damals passierte zu benutzen ist auf jeden Fall in meinen Augen eklig und schon als klares Statement zu verstehen. Denn wofür steht diese denn ? Und nein Naziband sage ich deshalb jetzt trotzdem nicht.
Dazu gab es auch mal ein Statement in einem Interview: https://www.loudersound.com/news/pantera-s-rex-regrets-use-of-confederate-flag
Ob einem das als Begründung langt, muss jeder selbst entscheiden.
Rex:
“The Confederate flag is on the back cover of The Great Southern Trendkill. That was the ‘Southern’ part of it.
“There were still states that had that on their state flags. Nowadays it’s forbidden to use it. It’s not so politically correct. But it had nothing to do with racism. None of us were like that.
“It was just a tie-in to the artwork on the back cover. Lynyrd Skynyrd used one for years and still do. Now people confuse it with racism and hatred. That’s not what this band is about at all, quite the opposite.
But it’s the only thing I would say in the ‘PC’ days that I have any regrets about.”
Phil:
“I don’t give a shit, because no matter what I say, I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t – but the truth of it all is, it was about as innocent as innocent could be.
“We weren’t confessing to any clandestine power of structure or however you assholes wanna put it these days. I think we used the Confederate flag merely because of Lynyrd Skynyrd. We had learned from people before us. And it was never about anything other than that.”
