That is the most illogical argument I have ever come across. The swastika isn't known for William's book. The image of kunte kinte in chains is known for being in the show "roots." See the difference?
No, you probably don't see much except your own posts.
If the KKK carried the picture down the streets of Beverly Hills it woud cause quite a stir.
See the difference?

Besides if the KKK marched down the street with that image it doesn't make the image itself offensive. The fact that the KKK are degrading a great symbol would be the offense not the symbol itself, get it?

The swastika was degraded a long time ago by Hitler and now the majority of people wrongly look at the symbol like it was a villain in partnership with Hitler. I never called the swastika a "great symbol" and I didn't even mention it in the post you last replied to.

My problem is still that:
This image is practically the image you would find on the paper-back, DVD, or VHS Tape of this movie.

for most people it is associated with the atrocities of the third reich.
Originally posted by Red NightJust because "most people" associate it with the atrocities of the the Third Reich, which I doubt, doesn't mean the swastika symbolizes only the Third Reich.
I understand that the swastika is an eastern symbol.

Just because YOU, and some others, are narrow-minded and assume that the whole world associates the swastika with Nazi doesn't mean everybody is that delusional.

Don't fall into the trap. Don't allow others to fall victim either.
Please, I beg you, don't disappoint me. I've stated a couple of times, that I considered you intellectually smarter than me.
What you've shown to me, is that I'm repeating what the previous poster, before I said this, who was telling me about what Racism is, what his definition of Racism was. I do not see where I have said, Sushill was a racist.
