    God damnit! In my teens I was pretty hard into a drum-n-bass band called “black sun empire”. I feel violated now :(

      The Anti-Defamation League notes that though the symbol is popular with white supremacists, imagery resembling the black sun features in many cultures, and that such imagery should always be analyzed in the context in which it appears, as it may not necessarily be intended to serve as a symbol of white supremacy or racism.

      i just googled it. Apparently they’re just really into star wars, and didn’t realize about the Nazi symbol until it was too late.
