It can be said that, "History is in the eye of the beholder".While at Reggie's spot the recent discussion was centered on whether the Confederate Flag was racist or not.
In the context above - is the use of the flag racist?
Could Tommie Smith and John Carlos be perceived as being racists?
Could wearing an Afro be seen as being threatening?
How many people in NYC are up in arms over a religious structure being placed so close to the site of the former World Trade Center?
How many minorities would see a Temple and think, "Racists"?
How many countries view the cross the same way many of us do?
Would the sight of the LAPD be a cause for comfort or for fear and resentment?
And what can we say for the symbol of our own country?(I'm sure that being called "racist" is the least offensive term one would use when describing our country.)
