The Ten Million Dollar Question

The National Vanguard Tampa Unit held the Tampa Bay Solstice Festival in Florida back in June and Prussian Blue were the star attraction. A rather paltry total of 90 people showed up (including a Swedish tourist).

The event, including Lamb and Lynx’s performance, was filmed and between sets, the girls, in the words of the narrator, “showed their resolve when responding to a challenging hypothetical question”:

Interviewer: Okay, here’s the question: You’re offered $10 million to cut a record and make a music video. The only problem is your boyfriends in the video are not white boys. How do you respond?

Lamb: Ten million dollars is a lot of money, but I think our gene [I think the word is gene, though it doesn’t really make sense in the context] and our beliefs are a lot more important than that.

Lynx: Yeah, it is a lot of money. But if they’re just promoting another thing that we’d have to fix … you know, we’re trying to fix that. We don’t want to promote it. So I wouldn’t do it even if we did get money.

Lamb: Plus there would be a lot of little girls looking and watching the movie, and then they’d be like: “Oh, that’s okay then to do that.” So… [nods decisively].

I wonder what Lynx had in mind when she referred to fixing the problem of interracial dating?
