This is reflected and enshrined in Don Black’s slogan “WHITE PRIDE WORLD WIDE” which has been used by Resistance Records as a title for their compilation albums of white power music. Racist rock fans belong to distinct national settings, yet they can all position themselves within a shared translocal racial lineage. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 2568 (
