Ian suggests that Anselmo make a donation
Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian posted a message on his official Facebook page commenting on Phil Anselmo's actions at the last Dimebash concert, where the vocalist made a Nazi salute and shouted 'white power' .
Because Phil Anselmo's white power outburst cannot be ignored
Ian comments that Anselmo's behavior was vile and suggests that, as an apology, the vocalist make a donation to the Simon Wiesenthal Foundation, an NGO that confronts antisemitism, racism, and hate.
Here is Scott Ian's message:
Friends,
Hate speech. Racism. Inflammatory rhetoric.
They are all dangerous, no matter the context. I have ZERO TOLERANCE for these things, and not speaking about it is as dangerous as the act itself.
Phil's actions were vile, and that should be the focus here; everything else is just noise.
Philip apologized , and I would like to offer him the opportunity to truly show how much he loves everyone by making a donation to the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
Peace, Scott
