Actor Don Cheadle on Saturday apparently mistook an eagle pin for a Nazi insignia.
Cheadle, whos been in several major films from Hotel Rwanda to The Avengers, implied that the eagle-shaped lapel of a CNN guest was some sort of Nazi insignia.
He wrote: Hey @CNN
Anybody wanna tealk about my mans lovely brooch on his lapel? Anybody minding the store. #WTAF?!?
The pin was designed by Phyllis Schlafly in 1972 for her organization, the Eagle Forum, a conservative pro-family interest group.
As a symbol, the eagle doesnt belong exclusively to any one nation. Other countries to use eagles in heraldry besides America include Albania, Austria, Egypt, France, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Russia, and ancient Rome.
When others advised Cheadle to delete the embarrassing tweet, his fans doubled down to suggest that he was right to be vigilant about calling out Nazis. Vigilance is an asset in this era even if it produces some uneasy interactions, wrote one of his followers.

The above picture was taken during the 1924 Democratic Convention. It was also known as Klanbake. In Madison Square Garden, New York City, from June 24 to July 9, a dispute during came up revolving around an attempt by non-Klan delegates, led by Forney Johnston of Alabama, to condemn the organization for its violence in the Democratic Partys platform. But Klan delegates defeated the platform plank in a series of floor debates. To celebrate, tens of thousands of hooded Klansmen rallied in a field in New Jersey, across the river from New York City. This event, known subsequently as the Klanbake, was also attended by hundreds of Klan delegates to the convention, who burned crosses, urged violence and intimidation against African Americans and Catholics, and attacked effigies of Smith. The final vote was 546.15 for the Klan, 542.85 against it. http://thetruthdivision.com/2017/01/liberals-arent-liking-photo-1924-democrat-convention/

Maybe he watched too much of “Slaughterhouse-Five”, especially the scene with the American Nazi sympathizer meeting with the POWs in Dresden just before the bombing there started.

His screed right after the election was a close friend of his father was golfing with Trump and Trump thought they were “ok” blacks and he was tossing around “nigger” and being the Trump that they just knew he was and was hiding from all us white folk.
Struggling for relevance is not pretty.
