The U.S. Coast Guard will reportedly no longer consider swastikas, nooses, or the Confederate flag to be hate symbols, according to guidelines set to take effect next month.

Under the new rules, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post, these symbols will instead be considered “potentially divisive” imagery, though flying the Confederate flag will remain banned.

“We don’t deserve the trust of the nation if we’re unclear about the divisiveness of swastikas,” an anonymous Coast Guard official who has seen the new policy told the paper.

“If you are at sea, and your shipmate has a swastika in their rack, and you are a Black person or Jew, and you are going to be stuck at sea with them for the next 60 days, are you going to feel safe reporting that up your chain of command?” the official added.

Why? Pretty sure Nazis killed more white Catholic clergy memebrs than they did blacks.

This symbol is all over South Korea.

Yea, or the confederate flag. I get that.

The part I quoted was either worded very poorly, or poorly thought out virtue signaling.

Now try and respond without your femine emoji, if possible.

I mean, the swastika is older than the Nazi party.

Just because a rope has a loop in it doesn't mean its after black folks.

The confederate flag i dont care. For most ppl its a symbol of southern pride and heritage and for others its a symbol of a bunch of democrats using analog EBT and not wanting the government involved.

It's not even the freaking confederate flag they're talking about either.

If you dont already know, the GA state flag IS the Confederate Flag but with the GA seal instead of the stars.

Idiots thought they won when the old battleflag was removed from it in the early 2000s.

Are you trying to make the argument that black people shouldn’t have a problem with swastikas?

Or are you trying to argue “not just black people should have a problem with swastikas”?

Either way, this probably isn’t a point worth arguing dude. How about we just agree that people should leave there f’n swastikas and nooses at their house and not bring them to work?

I'm tired of the noose bullshite.

Nooses have been used for a thousand years across the world to hang people.

How did the American Blacks manage to turn this into their own personal insult? How did they get to own this?

Vigilante justice was a real thing in the old days, and it wasn't just going after black people. A posse going after someone they think escaped justice was a thing for everyone, not just the black people.

It was commentary on the incessant need to virtue signal, but I forgot this board is full of herd brain nitwits who live off pure emotion and obtuse thought.

That would obviously be a very bad thing, but why is the headline written like that if it's been denied already? From the article:

quote:

“The claims that the U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses or other extremist imagery as prohibited symbols are categorically false,” Admiral Kevin Lunday, Acting Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, said in a statement to The Independent. “These symbols have been and remain prohibited in the Coast Guard per policy. Any display, use or promotion of such symbols, as always, will be thoroughly investigated and severely punished.”

Nobody should have a problem with a symbol that was around thousands of years before the nazi party adopted it and means luck and prosperity, but the majority of people are emotional and irrational.

It’s like us not using the color red anymore or an iron cross.
