You know if people actually did a little more research on all this they would know the idiot Nazis stole the Swastika from a dig they were doing. It was actually some form of anglo saxon cross. This is what annoys me these days. People seem to not be able to look past our history with Hitler, so all whites are racist and evil. There have been so many other races in history that have enslaved people and did horrible things, example: The Egyptians of Africa enslaved thousands to build the pyramids. Yet no one treats them like the beast on a daily basis for centuries. But I guess the world needs us whites to be the boogie man...LOL No offense to any other race, but we get tired of not living it down. I have many other races and gays in our family and I have no problem with them.

I understand what your saying. Sometimes it seems like people think that slavery was invented buy some white man. But you also have to understand that it was only 300+ years ago when the English and other Europeans enslaved the Africans and brought them to North America for free labor. It wasn't that long ago if you think about it. When other races use slavery against Caucasians, it's ridiculous. Some people can't get over it, some can. Whites have enslaved other whites, just as blacks have enslaved other blacks. It's not a race problem, it's a human problem.

Also, it was thought that the pyramids in Egypt were built through slave labor, but now there have been recent discoveries that indicate that workers built the pyramids.

I'm a Jew and this isn't offensive, so you're good.

Because one Jew represents all Jews, right? I agree it's not offensive, but that's just me (and you). Other people (Jewish or not) may well find it offensive.

The Nazi eagle was always spread winged, not closed winged, and it was taken from the Roman Imperial eagle, a symbol of power and dominance, also an old Teutonic symbol, the spread wings make the difference in the symbolism. There is a closed winged eagle, that stands on a swastika that the nazis,s used on or inside buildings, there are other places they were used but mainly an issue of space id say, but its always associated with a swastika. But also the Catholic church uses spread winged eagles, on their lecterns, was always a bit of a worry.

While it's not racist at all, people who see it will automatically assume "neo-Nazi" like anything having to do with Germany and tattoos.

This depends on where you live too - what does the symbol most often mean to those around you. A Maltese cross on a hardcoe biker has a different connotation than it would on a Maltese citizen.

Or on a fireman :biggrin:

uhh..

'Fanner!!! Get in here!!! I'm gonna need help!!!! :ahhh:

Could you not get a symbol of german industry and power? Maybe a BMW badge, or Volkswagen?

A Maltese cross on a biker would make no difference to us I think. It would probably get "Hey! Look at that!" responses.
