As long as they are just saying it yes. If the chants inspire the crimes to be committed then that crosses the line in to accessory to the crime.

I would have nearly the problem with the BLM movement if there wasn't this anti-cop chants calling for the death of police and then the police get shot. That turns in to an accessory to the crime.

See the difference?

If the supremacist want to call themselves superior that their choice. If they attack any person regardless of race then that a crime that needs to be punished to the full extent of the law.

Ok a little history lesson for you on the confederate flag. It was the Virginia state battle flag. It was adopted but the confederate army. It's easier to just say hot words though.

So? The swastika is a sacred symbol in the Hindu religion that was adopted by the Nazis for their flag.
 
Hindu was the first I am aware of. Christianity, and Navajo I believe all had very similar. But we only teach the hate behind it. Not what others beloved it was for. It's no wonder we have so much hate. It's what we seem to teach

The hate is what made it infamous, and that's the way it will always be remembered. By trying to dilute this meaning, you've just PROVEN what a racist you are. There isn't a person alive in the US right now that doesn't associate the swastika with Nazi Germany and the holocaust.

The same goes for the Confederate flag. Anyone who thinks the Confederate flag isn't a symbol of racism is either a racist, a racist sympathizer, or a damned fool.

I have a little hand carved Ganesh figure I bought in India when we were in Tiruppur. He has a little swastika painted in the palm of his raised hand (he is sitting, hand at his side, wrist bent 90 degrees upward to show palm.) Am I a racist for not forcing my American views on this trinket and purchasing it as a memento of the culture that was a gracious host to my visit?

Spoken like a closed minded fool.

It's all a matter of locality & context. Your example is comparing apples to oranges as India has no such negative history associate with that symbol. Some here were not even aware of the association with Hinduism.......no context of that reference.

I've seen the swastika in plenty of places in Asia. That doesn't change what it means for the vast majority of the world today. If you're really going to try to deny the significance of that symbol in western society it absolutely makes you a racist.

It makes no difference what the symbol was used for before the Nazis, this is what it represents now:

Don't misinterpret a lack of response........you are the same person that it took almost a page to explain that "every 4th dollar out of 10" was actually 25%.

It was a typo by the original post if you go back and read it. Every 4th dollar out of 10 dollars is actually 40%. Every $2.5 out of $10 is 25%.

Edit : if they would have said 1/4 of every $10 dollars went to it then yes it would have been correct at 25%

OMG

:laugh:
 
So I just looked at the original post by victor. It said every 4th dollar is in the health care industry. It could have made more clear from the beginning. But instead of saying OMG victor took the time to explain what he meant. That called debating and having a conversation. I admit I was wrong. I should have looked at it more clearly. It still doesn't come up with how you can't answer a question with out a meme or video. Seriously you even got me to post them because I was so sick of just looking at your memes. DAMIT I have dropped to you level. [emoji53][emoji379]

Geez,


Maybe try thinking about it as a sequence. Every 4th:

1, 2, 3, that one, 5, 6, 7, that one.....and so on.

Get it?

My memes? I posted one video in another thread. Relax.
 
When someone admits they are wrong and you continue to belittle them you appear to be projecting your on insecurities on to others.
