Surf/ Skate Nazis

Real Nazis or just die hards? OK to dabble in such imagery for 'shock value?'

Dora, Stecyk, Jay Adams, Christian Fletcher, all dabbled with the swastika but it was cool right? Times are different. Times are very black and white.

Jason Jessee is currently getting a tonne of sh*t for it but Cons, SC, Indy all have his back. Keyboard warriors are calling for his blood.

Did JJ recently use the swastika for an image or something? Open apologies on social media
are all the rage right now and I'm sure JJ needs a pat on the back in these polarizing times.

Understood it, but never quite got it. But then again it is just a symbol and from what I understand adopted and not created by Hitler. Part of me wants to disagree the other tired of the hypersensitivity and era of overly PC-ness wants to agree. Either way never been one to test the waters and prefer to fly under the radar no matter what my personal opinions are unless in involves the harming of someone.

JJ was punched out by Ned Peanut Brown in the 80s after dropping the N bomb.

Then he had some interview in Iron Horse (Biker Mag) about wanting to kill the N>>>>> who f*cked his mother in the 1990s.

But I think the bigger issue is he continued to flash the swastika in his art/ clothing until very recently. I know its a punk rock/ biker thing to do but he could explain all that I suppose.

JJ is experiecinging a huge renaissance, especially after the new Converse Vid and then someone on Slap Mag called it out and started asking his sponsors what they thought of JJ's past and continued flirtation with Nazi imagery.

Meanwhile he's got crew of mixed race/ sexuality homies...

Who knows the truth but its 2018 and shite will haunt you and people don't like fence-walkers...

Just watched the Cons Purple vid so I now understand. All the Nazi/racism/homophobe stuff
aside it was good to see JJ skate. I don't really give a shite about his brand or image. He did
have a nice shape with the SC neptune deck and I rode one when I first moved to Pdx in '93.
