It Is What It Is

The topic for me in the story of a moron who allegedly went on a vandalism spree and, among other acts, spray-painted a swastika (backwards) on a business is not the news story per se but the comments on the story, with people trying to make a case that a swastika isn't necessarily anti-Semitic because it was an ancient symbol and just because Hitler used it blah blah blah. Same with the idiotic "the Stars and Bars aren't racist, they're just about Southern pride" argument. Yes, a swastika is anti-Semitic. That's what it means now and forever. Yes, the Confederate flag symbolizes racism. That's what it means now and forever. You can't ignore history. (Hunterdon County Democrat)
