Just recently in Massachusetts, some vandals put a fear striking message on a local golf course. To view the message take a look at this video from CNN. The implications of such a message are many. This could very well be considered a threat to the president.
The swastika, an image stolen from Hinduism, is most popularly associated with Hitler and the Nazis. This was the symbol they hoisted on flags during Hitler's failed quest to conquer the world.
The symbol is still worn today by fascists that have endeared Hitler's dream of Aryan supremacy.
These are mainly whites who still believe themselves to be superior physically, mentally, ethnically, and racially.
So the topics of this blog are : 1. Why is it that these hateful, deviant, perpetrators are still able to fester in America?
2. How is it that the swastika has received such a poor image?
As I previously stated, the swastika is a Hindu symbol. It symbolizes good fortune and auspiciousness. It is often used in a house warming and drawn above the front door. A Hindu Swastika can be seen above on the right. Yet Nazi fanatics have turned it into a symbol that is feared and abhorred. The Nazi Symbol can be see above on the left. Are there other symbols throughout history that have suffered the same fate? Perhaps the rainbow is one example. In the old testament the rainbow was a covenant between God and the people that there would be no more earth covering floods in the future. Today that symbol may be associated with homosexuals.
Let me hear your thoughts
