The Boy Scouts of America need to bring back the swastika. They used it long before the Nazis, and the American Indians used it way before the BSAs.

How many people think these guys are racist?

Maybe I've lived under a rock for 40+ years, but this year is the first time I've ever heard of the fleur-de-lis being a racist symbol. If this was such a big deal, wouldn't I have heard something about it before now?
I mean, I've heard complaints about the confederate flag, and confederate statues when I was a kid growing up. I heard about the n-word and using "boy" early in life. How far down the line is the fleur? Is this something that's always been huge, and I'm just ignorant? Somehow I doubt that.
And Dr. Ibrahima Seck says it's "painful" to look at it? Seriously? If you experience "pain" over a symbol that allegedly marred your ancestors 150 years ago, then maybe you're a little "too" in-tune with the past. Maybe you need to get with the modern interpretation of the symbol, which represents resiliency and, considering the one thing guaranteed to bring ALL New Orleanians together (the Saints), UNITY.

It's an omega (Omega Phi Psi) not a horse shoe, just a point of reference.

I want to fight anyone that actually agrees with this

And this is why you never give in, not even a little bit.
New Orleans will be even more of a crime infested shithole the more these types multiply and are backed by the force of corrupt government.

Oh!
Well, its weird there are two of them. I guess that threw me off.
but still, the point stands that there were a lot of common symbols used to brand. Horseshoe is one of them and no one is calling the Colts racists.

I see the little tails on them now that make it an Omega sign. Good call. Sidnote:
That would fricking hurt.

Fleur-de-lis Next racist symbol?
Ok this is getting out of hand. I heard this last year sometime. Everyone of my friends from the "hood" that have tattoos have a fleur de lis. I told my one friend that "bruh they used to brand the slaves here with fleur de lis."(I was saying it in a joking way) His exact words were... "N word if you don't get away from me with that black power to the people shite!" "I don't give a frick about no Fleur de lis being racist, hell I sure everything in this city's history can be tied to racism." "I like the fleur de lis I'm from New Orleans and that's a symbol that represents our city"

For instance, the very word “slave” stems from “Slav,” i.e. a reference to the experience of millions of (white) Slavish people who endured centuries of slavery at the hands of African Muslims. This, of course, is a most inconvenient truth, for it is a most Politically Incorrect truth. But it is the truth.
quote:
Yet the Slavish aren’t the only whites who spent centuries in captivity: Europeans of various backgrounds were enslaved by African Muslims as well. All of this is heavily documented in such neglected pieces of scholarship as Robert Davis’s Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800 and Paul Baepler’s White Slaves, African Masters: An Anthology of American Barbary Captivity Narratives.
quote:
An honest discussion of race would mention what no less a figure than black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates recently discovered: free blacks were in America before slavery. While researching the book and documentary The African-Americans: Many Rivers to Cross, Gates admits to having been shocked to discover that blacks freely came to America, to Florida, as early as 1513—over 100 years earlier than the standard date of 1619. And the one black man whose name is now known was a conquistador who came in search of the Fountain of Youth with Ponce de Leon.
quote:
Of the 12.5 million Africans sold during the era of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, Gates further observes, only about 388,000 were shipped to America.
quote:
An honest discussion of race in America would include the fact that whites were slaves, for sure, but it would also have to accommodate the obscene truth that as many as 4,000 free black families owned slaves in the antebellum South. More stunning still is that, arguably, the first slave master in early America was a black man.
(Not quoting you, OP...but ppl are sick of only part of the story coming out about how many races have been enslaved. Don't believe this? Pickup a Bible or a history book. Every race on earth has been enslaved at some point, but the only ones whining are one group (& the occasional Scot)

Your troll game is off. Have some coffee and maybe your hooks won't be as shiny, or at least will be on topic.

Saints are the best thing this city has going for it in regards to race relations. I have a good time on Sundays with my more melanin brothas.

And in the meantime, while we're discussing "racist" symbolism, New Orleans is crumbling and Mitch Bitch Landrieu has succeeded in diverting the narrative away from what a miserable failure his administration has been.
Some of us aren't taking our eye off the ball.

Most people don't know about the Nazarenos de Sevilla in Spain. Sooner or later the SJW's will be out in force claiming they take after the KKK.

What's amazing, is this is the bureaucrat argument against de-criminalization; the "but where will it end" excuse...yet they apply it liberally to the "Nuveaux racist emblem" issue.
Stupid assholes.
