Suffice to say, it is more unthinkable than a noose hanging in the garage of a black driver, or someone walking around in a white pointed hood. It is truly the most evil symbol in all of human history, and that's saying something. I cannot fathom how someone could be so obtuse as to think it was acceptable to wear that in public, even as a political statement.
Secondly, America used to be a haven for Jews driven out of Europe, especially in the mid 20th century. Now it has become equally inhospitable, with anti-semitic attacks on the rise across America. What has happened to the soul of this nation?
Brandishing a symbol of unthinkable genocide is just so far beyond the pale I can't even get my head around it. I don't know what to think of people anymore.
Somebody, please feel free to talk me down. I'm pretty ####ing pissed right now.
