you ever see that thng on TV about the Chingalings in NYC. They sport Swatzticas
I was going to say the same thing. Most of the Chingalings are Puerto Rican with some other minorities as well.
Some of these groups don't look at the Swastika in the Nazi sense. Because the Swastika isn't something the Nazi or Germans made.
From Wikipedia:
The swastika (from Sanskrit स्वस्तिक svastika) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles in either left-facing (卍
or right-facing (卐
direction. The swastika is a holy symbol in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. In the West, it is most widely known and used as a symbol of Nazism. It is traditionally oriented so that a main line is horizontal, though it is occasionally rotated at forty-five degrees. The Hindu version is often decorated with a dot in each quadrant.
Here is the link you should check it out because it's pretty interesting:

I still don't see why anyone (outside of a white racist) would use the Swastika anymore because of what it has become to mean. But that's on them...not me.
