Old news, but this bugs me still: Why did everyone give Phil Anselmo so much shit over this when a.) they kiss Dimebag's ass despite him being the same way when he was alive and b.) Phil has been yelling "white power" stuff onstage literally as long as he's been famous.

Wasn't it at a memorial thing for Dimebag? Probably because of that desu. I could imagine people seeing it as being a bit disrespectful, and then I suppose others were just offended because of the whole Nazi thing in general. It was all quite blown out of proportion though.

Darnell was a nazi too. If anything it honored his memory

I could see that, but they must just not realize that Dimebag basically held the same beliefs, the whole band did.

Probably, but I'd imagine that most people complaining about it weren't long-time Pantera fans so much as chancers who happened to have glimpsed it and ran with it.
>members of Pantera were all nazis
WTF I love Pantera now

Not nazis I think or maybe not even white "supremacists" in their own minds. But it was like a "white pride" thing. They hung around black musicians and would probably never say any of this shit around them, but they were proud of being white.

>being proud of being white
That is textbook white supremacy, how far up your ass are you in that you're denying what is or is not an obvious image of that symbol.

That's why I said in their own minds. Never implied that I agree with any of it. Was just around them quite a bit in the 90s.

Before you two risk going back and forth on an obnoxious /pol/esque conversation, it's probably worth mentioning that Phil is not a smart man and his worldview is probably self-contradictory and makes little sense.
So if y'all want to parse the intentions and motivations of someone who is basically a very successful 13 year-old boy, have at it.

"i am proud of my race" != "my race is superior to all others"
