I was interested to read that piece - I remember an interview on TV where he made similar remarks about the holocaust.
However, that page seems to have been taken down, or there's some other problem. Anyhow, I found the following snippet
here
Lemmy not a Nazi, just a fan
Motorhead's frontman Lemmy defends his Nazi collectibles in an upcoming issue of Q magazine by stating "I have two black girlfriends in this city [L.A.], so I must be the worst Nazi you ever came across. Half of my Jewish friends and black friends can go in my apartment and not be bothered [by the collection.]." Lemmy was responding to Q reader Stuart Barstow's question regarding Lemmy's Nazi collection. To make matters worse, Lemmy then denied the Holocaust resulted in the death of six million Jewish people. "There are photographs, but anyone can make photographs. You can fake anything. I think half of it's true and half of it isn't," he said.
Hmmmn...:hmph:
I don't suppose Lemmy actually
is a Nazi - an idiot, maybe. I'm sure I read somewhere that a lot of members of the Klu Klux Klan and various jew/nigger-hating 'Christian' movements were found to be very keen on porn involving black women - and also 'interracial' stuff ie. black men with white women and vice versa.
I'm not a psychologist, but there's obviously some seriously f**cked up shit going on there....
Well, Lemmy is one of the nicest persons I have ever met. He played sometime ago at the Hard Rock Cafe in Mexico City and afterwards it was mayhem. He's a very charismatic individual, and doesn't seem all that idiotic to me. Regarding his Nazi memorabilia, that was also a very popular trend in Mexico when I was growing up. You can also see a bunch of Mexican youngsters nowadays with black t-shirts with swasticas. Not really Nazis of course, not particularly racist (mind you, Mexican population is mostly mesoamerican indian), just being stupid perhaps. Nazi symbols are also popular with gangs, because they want to be bad and stuff, but hardly any of those guys would make it into the Hitlerian Youth ranks, for example.
Perhaps I am alone here, but most people have forgotten the origins and original meaning of the swastica, and how universal it is as a symbol, present in ancient cultures in India, China, America and other areas, and also how it was a Christian symbol for the church. Of course, you can never forget the crimes commited by the nazis, but I think the symbol of the swastica must be viewed as more than that. We can think of the Cross as another symbol with bad connotations, and the same can go with the Communist symbol, the yellow star on red background, or the Japanese Imperial Rising Sun. How about the Celtic Cross, the Union Jack, or even the American Eagle?
All I can say is that those symbols mean great things, but more than once they have been used for evil purposses, but that doesn't make them evil themselves.
By the way, I am a multirracial. Basque-arab-mesoamerican from my mother's side, and German-Basque-African from my fathers. My wife is Asian-Mesoamerican-Mediterranean. I guess that makes my kid a mix of everything human that ever walked the Earth. I have had relationships with people from different racial backgrounds and was even engaged to a Afroamerican girl. Races mean nothing to me. I just wanted to point that out before people start thinking I am a tall skinhead with blue eyes and a penchant for burning people with more melanine than me.
Anywaym I hope nobody takes offense on my opinions here.
. I still think his remarks (about fake holocaust photos) were idiotic. It's exactly this kind of stuff that gets picked up by the far right and woven into some truly dangerous ideas and theories.
