If I saw someone with a swastika, I would not go near them.
I've seen confederate flags on the back of trucks and I associate it with "Redneck Pride", but I would wonder what they really thought about slavery and black people.
You can't erase history- so we can remove all of these Confederate monuments and every last trace of the old South, but it will always be part of our history as a country.
At Gettysburg, where it is very solemn remembrance of both sides that lost lives, there are Confederate symbols everywhere but it is not viewed as an endorsement of slavery, but as historical artifact.
There's oppression in a lot of symbols, depending on your point of view, someone's bound to be offended by something or other, and you can't bulldoze them away.
"Gone with the Wind" for example is a movie that might one day be shown in a theater and there may be a crowd of protestors because it completely glamorizes the Confederacy, the Old South, and slavery... that would be silly to me, one can watch GWTW and by the end of the movie still abhor slavery and racism and still look at it as a cinematic masterpiece.
There might be a day when people will be offended that concentration camps are open to the public and people go there almost as if they are tourists at a historical site, but they made that choice to open them to future generations, not to glorify the Holocaust, but to keep the lessons of the horrors of it alive so it never happens again.
It's a very touchy subject and if I was black, I probably would not want to even talk to someone that had a Confederate flag on their car.
Swastika in general or do you mean the Nazi Flag , because the Hindu Swastika and the Nazi Swastika mean totally different things as in Hinduism it means peace and well being .
