What Is The Symbol Of Hate?
I ask myself this question many times, “What is the symbol of hate?” I do not recognize the hate symbol evidently. I hear individuals say different groups are hate groups because of a certain flag, color, symbol, or pattern. Is this a universal, unspoken code? Who authorized each of these “universal” symbols?
You can not show, wear, or display a Confederate (Rebel) flag at a local school. At another public school, depending on the race of an assembly speaker, certain students may not wear a white shirt. Each school will execute a consequence for such displays!
The same schools will tolerate a rainbow symbol displayed, possibly on a shirt. At one time would have the significant meaning of God’s promise. Now I understand the rainbow symbolizeses or defines a sexual preference or gay pride.
Is their a symbol for hate? Every individual perceives the world, their own way. The only definition one has for a material object, color, flag, or word is the meaning they have allowed society to place on it.
I’d say the confederate flag comes pretty close.
I ask myself, is the Confederate Flag, hate or history? Is it a design on a famous car “General Lee”?
I do appreciate your opinion. Thanks for sharing. I just don’t believe a “dirty word” is dirty because society says it is. It is only a word that society defines, like everything else.

- I hear you on that… To a black man though, the confederate flag symbolizes hate in history.
I comprehend that view and completely understand. I guess I choose to believe the black man more intelligent and view the ignorance, arrogance, and lack of intelligence as just that.
Society has stereotyped the “rebel” or “redneck” as a stupid individual, usually inbred.
I do appreciate the insight. Thanks for sharing your views.
Based on the hate I’ve seen in the past 20 years, I’d say the Christian cross makes for a pretty good symbol.
God is love, the cross is a symbol of renewed life. There is simply too much hate in the world.
I can’t believe nobody mentioned the swastika or republican elephant.
