Racist Boyd Rice video interview causes controversy

UlyssesLazarus,

Sorry mate, but there is no way young Boyd could have anticipated the kind of media archiving and community forum the Internet would provide 20 years after this interview.

This went out on an obscure Far Right discussion show. The people who would have seen this interview at the time would have been... um, well they would have been Nazis wouldn't they? Appearing on a Nazi channel, talking about being a Nazi is a great way to appear be a Nazi, it's also a good way to increase industrial music's regrettable Nazi fan-base, but it's not a terribly effective way of pissing off the liberal majority, since they simply won't know it happened (and they didn't know about it until it surfaced on youtube two decades later).

Boyd Rice isn't the first insecure white Geek with a Hitler fixation and he's not particularly dangerous, but let's not pretend this is some kind of nuanced counter-cultural stance. Kissing up to the Grand Dragon in relative obscurity ain't much of a prank.

Um. Has anyone ever actually SEEN this? The editing is highly suspicious, and the whole thing reads like a young Boyd Rice pulling a prank and getting in WAY over his head.

This was like 20 years ago and I find it a little rich that people are digging it out now to come down on an artist that has done a lot since being 21 or whatever.

And anticipating all the liberal "anti-racist" platitudes- you are the biggest victim of the prank. You are exactly who Boyd is trying to piss off and it's epic lulz.
