"It is not a symbolic threat — it is the symbol OF a threat. It means “leave or we will kill you.”"

Blacks were shot. Blacks were whipped. Blacks were drowned. Does water become a symbolic threat? Does a whip mean anything more than that? How about a gun?

Sorry, I'm not willing to cede a fringe minority group the right to take an object and make it such that it means only what they want it to mean.
