Music... Really? They love finding excuses.

There are connections between the black metal music scene and white supremacist groups... which makes it doubly bizarre that @cnnbrk fails to raise the issue in their article.https://twitter.com/cnnbrk/status/1116369243510124545 …

Black Metal is anti-Christian Pagan metal music. Big in Finland. They advocate burning Churches as revenge for the Swedish Christians Crusade and wholesale slaughter of Finnish Pagans in the 13th Century. USA White Supremacist romanticize Paganism as white “culture” its Total BS

If this is the “master race” I’m gonna take a hard pass. And it isn’t the music, it is a deep disturbance in brain function and it’s called white nationalism.

No clue what black metal music is, but if he is found guilty, he must be prosecuted and punished to the fullest extent of the law. Period.

Thank you. But please don’t spread his name or post his photo. We can talk about the perpetrator without giving him the fame he seeks.

@AnaKasparian You are so fair-minded, heard you mention this possibility. #journalist But of course @cnn is the source, so...

What I the name of heaven is "black metal music"?

White supremacy isn’t just hoods and burning crosses. It also fears its head via obtuse reporting that circles the drain without properly calling out an arson motivated by more specific white supremacy ideals.

This is yet another example of the media failing to simply admit that a white man can be racist and that his motives are based off of purely hate.

Personally, I didn't take this report as an obfuscation of probable racist motives, since this type of anti-Christian heavy metal certainly has a lot of crossover with white supremacy.
