Pragmatist;. . . So as a symbol said:
Not many years later the Union flag could have been considered a symbol of the greed that led to brutal oppression and sometimes massacre of the American Indian. Both Confederate and Union flags are, for better or worse, a significant symbol of American history. The German Swastika is both a symbol of the dramatic rebirth of a devastated nation, and of the most diabolical scourge of the past several centuries. In the context of history, these flags are useful symbols of their times. Censoring the symbol is like denying the truth. Flags and other symbols can also be used as a symbol of one's personality. If someone in our time wants to wear the German swastika, I appreciate the warning. We've also used another disquieting symbol, the skull and crossbones, on poison containers.
