The swastika used to be a sign of peace in some countries, and then hitler reversed it and it became a sign of hate.

Also the Nazi version of the swastika is reversed. That one is backwards, therefore not the "racist" version of the swastika. There is nothing "shocking" about it.

Yeah, I've been to several homes where they had these really nice paintings with swastikas incorporated into them. For one, it was a sign of peace among some Native Americans and they'd paint it on their canoes and stuff. kvlt

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Didn't know Native Americans used it. Always thought it was a Hindu thing.

Apparently wikipedia has a pretty good outline of where/when the swastika has been used. But I can't find any of the paintings I've seen online, probably because they're not really known for the swastikas in them. Shame, too, they looked really cool. Wish I could at least find a good picture of a dugout canoe with a swastika on it.
