can someone further explain which symbol is the hate symbol?

The unfortunate truth is that hate groups thrive on this sort of mentality.
Those groups actively look for symbols that are capable of dual meanings. To people “in the know” they mean one thing, but if anyone not in their club calls them on it, they can feign outrage at how the libtard PC police wants to turn everything into a hate symbol! This is a “dog whistle.”
And yeah, it seems stupid to engage in what amounts to code-word wars with white nationalists, but if we have a legitimate interest in opposing them, then that’s what we have to do.

Leaving this in could easily be seen as an act of endorsement. Taking it out is the right call. They don’t need anymore of a platform then they have already been able to obtain.

And for those that keep saying “it’s dumb”, or “so are we going to do this for every symbol they co-opt?!”—well thought out response!
 
but also, understand that these people co-opt symbols with a specific purpose, often ones that most people won’t inherently recognize or do not have a stigma associated with and will view it as benign at a first glance, which is an effective way to “rebrand” their message without opposition. When you rally on principle against any removal of a symbol they’ve co-opted, you’re doing their work for them.

Re-framing the argument against this removal and others like it as some kind of weird censorship strike or a “what’s next?!?!” move, is exactly the kind of crap they (being the nazis and white supremacists of the world), want you to do.
