“The Swastika was around for thousands of years before Hiler and was a symbol of many positive things including peace and prosperity.”

If I posted a pic of the sampler quilt hanging on my wall, I guess that would be a problem. One block, popular 100 years before Hitler, looks like a swastika.

You probably didn’t praise Hitler as a good guy on the Alex Jones show just before posting a picture of your quilt and tweet out “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE” two months prior.

Your quilt is a historical artifact created before Hitler. Kanye’s newly-created symbol intertwining a swastika and Star of David and twisting it into some sort of sick coexist symbol is a whole ‘nother kettle of fish. Context and timing matter.

Yep, and if we start down this road and help open the door to this kind of capitulation to the sensitive crybabies soon images of Christian symbols and firearms will be next.

Look up the symbols used by Detroit’s Krit Motorcar Company in the early 1900s.

Context matters IMO. Combining a swastika and star of david is a slightly different context. Personally, I don't give a damn about either one.
