WE ARE NOT A RACIST BAND!!!
The recent articles about us in the rock band Ultima Thule have been revolving around upsetting observations of the fact that very many, and a growing amount of grown-ups listen to and enjoy music with patriotic lyrics. They are now trying to (hide?) the progress through indoctrination, through tactical silencing of uncomfortable facts. Expo is one of many who use lies and rumors as a weapon against us members of Ultima Thule. Expo believes that as long as their perception is the right one, the people who knows the absolute truth are all racists who don't share their views. They often use the compromising method of McCharthyism, "Guilt by association"
We are judged as a racist band. Everyone makes the same mistake, they condemn racism without defining this word, and they condemn all who listen to Ultima Thule. Calling them racists and nazis is a mockery of our fans. Mass media doesn't settle with condemning us as the "racists", but even provoke to a battle against a type of vermin in a mass media campaign, thus breaking the democratic rights to freedom, which they use themselves.
We in Ultima Thule are not a racist or nazi band. We don't look at ourselves as any better than other people. Therefore, these judgements have nothing to do with us. We would have the courage to stand for racism is we were... and do not use the word "racism" to flame people. We ask ourselves how the mental health is in our country when patriotic lyrics about Sweden, when lyrics of our history, is compared to racism. This is just like a witch hunt against all who dare to stand up for Sweden. This is just as ridiculus as when scoolkids are not allowed to sing the national anthem because of fears of growing racism. We're living in a more and more shrinking and barrier braking world, and it is important for people to feel that they belong to their own country, and that people know their national origin. If us Swedish are not allowed to be proud of our our countries without being called racists, it's difficult to show respect for people's identity and abilities. Only someone who fear themselves can be afraid other people.
We practice the right to be proud of our own country, and we do not accept that obscure professional writers compare our music to racism and nazism.
The members of Ultima Thule
