I have noticed the words "NO FEAR" on caps, shirts, bumper stickers and car window decals. I also received an e-mail stating that the phrase "NO FEAR" is the National Organization For a European American Race. The e-mail also stated that this group was supported and backed by former KKK member David Duke. Could someone shed some light on this for me?

It was meant to conjure images of an intrepid adrenaline junkie racing through some thrilling, awe-inspiring personal athletic challenge ... with no fear. Wear the gear, become fearless. Not for couch potatoes. I have seen the logo a lot lately as decals on muscle cars. Same idea: bravado. That someone would ascribe such a sick and twisted acronym to this merchandise is weird.

Name : Cheryl32333, Gender : F, City : New Haven, State : CT Country : United States, NOFEAR (National Organization for European-American Rights) is, in fact, a white supremacist group run by David Duke. However, No Fear (in slightly graffitti-ish text) is a clothing and sportswear company. The No Fear brand is very popular, with shirts, bags, stickers, caps, etc. available with inspiring 'go for it' messages.

However, the clothing company was attempting to stop N.O.F.E.A.R. because of the confusion.

Duke deliberately chose the name to try and take advantage of the clothing brand's name. The company has nothing to do with Duke at all, though. In fact, they have a lawsuit against Duke's group for product name infringement (right term?) and trying to libel their company name.

Name : ACC25061, Gender : M, City : W. Lafayette, State : IN Country : United States, No Fear is a clothing company that has been around for almost a decade. I'm 25, and when I was in high school, all the 'jocks' wore their stuff, had the stickers, etc. I guess anyone could claim it means whatever they want, but it's just a clothing line. This is the same thing that happened in the '70s, when KISS was a popular band. All the parents got scared because KISS supposedly stood for 'Knights In Satan's Service.' Someone just got really bored one day and started a chain e-mail about No Fear.

For example, white women clutching their purses at the sight of a black man. Or locking car doors when a black person crosses the street. It flatters me that white people think enough of blacks to feel they have to make up a slogan to prove they are not afraid of us.

Name : Kim-Smith-Stout, City : Tempe, State : AZ Country : United States, This is a bit of urban-legend grade propoganda spread by misinformed individuals. It has been debunked in several sources, including the Urban Legends Reference Pages. The story can be found at http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/nofear.htm. No Fear is an athletic clothing company and has NO connection with the other group. Now if members of NOFEAR wear their clothes, that is a different issue, but that cannot be assumed.

Name : Rich30054, Gender : M, Age : 22, City : New York, State : NY Country : United States, Education level : 4 Years of College, 'NO FEAR' is a brand of casual sportswear; T-shirts, baseball caps and the like. You can't believe every e-mail that people send out with such 'facts'. CNN or some major news outlet would be on David Duke like white on rice if he actually led such a group, if only because they have broadcast hours to fill.

Name : Miranda, Gender : F, Age : 31, City : New York, State : NY Country : United States, Fortunately, the clothing label No Fear Inc. , is completely unrelated to N.O.F.E.A.R., the National Organization For European American Rights. No Fear Inc. is upset over the confusion and has sued David Duke's N.O.F.E.A.R. Visit this site for more information: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/nofear.htm

Have a look at this web site www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/nofear.htm It clears up the confusion.

Name : Denise, Gender : F, Sexual Orientation : Straight, Race : White/Caucasian, Religion : Atheist, Age : 29, City : London, State : NA Country : Canada, Education level : Over 4 Years of College, Social class : Upper class, There is and has been for some time a clothing label called 'NO FEAR' that targets the young urban and suburban market. The clothes and accessories can be purchased at most major depatment stores. About 2 or 3 years ago, David Duke, a former KKK member from Louisiana who once had political aspirations, incorporated his own white supremacy group called National Organization for European American Rights. He claims it's just a coincidence that the initials spell out 'no fear.' But no one believed that, especially not the clothing label of said name. It sued David Duke and his group for trademark infringement, and won, sending Duke once again with his tail between his legs to his cave to lick his wounds.

Name : Mandi, Gender : F, Sexual Orientation : Straight, Race : Black/African American, Religion : Baptist, Age : 21, City : Boston, State : MA Country : United States, Occupation : student, Education level : 2 Years of College, Social class : Middle class, The e-mail you reference is wrong. To quote from an Urban Legends database: 'The retailer whose logo is now being confused with that of a white supremacist group, No Fear Inc., is a California-based manufacturer of young men's activewear and gear that has been in business since 1989. It currently employs 150 people, and its products are sold at outlets around the world.' It has nothing to do with the group started by David Duke. In fact, the company probably has good grounds for a trademark and copyright infringement lawsuit -- and they could do us all a favor and bankrupt another hate group.
