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.
“Context and timing matter.”
No it doesn’t...
“Context and timing matter.”
It shouldn’t. Truth is constant.
“Your quilt is a historical artifact created before Hitler.”
It isn’t. I created it a couple years ago. The block is old — a variation on Rail Fence Block.
If swastika has bad connotations now — and it certainly does thanks to Hitler — then maybe it’s up to us to help turn that around. We shouldn’t capitulate to these people. It’s wrong that when we see a rainbow our first thought is “homosexual”; it should be a promise from God. It’s wrong that when he hear the word “gay” we think “homosexual”; we should think “happy”.
Caving to the thought police is wrong, and we need to change the wishy-washy “timing and context” cop-out to appease the bad guys.
Kanye’s stupid new symbol is a ridiculous result of an addled brain, and EVERYBODY knows that. No attention would be paid to it if they weren’t using it to take out Trump. They are using it for that purpose, and we’ll see how things shake out. God is in control.
