Symbols have meaning either to the one who bares it or to the ones that see it or both. Example...If I'm walking down a dark street in Mississippi and see 3 white men in a truck wit a confederate flag...I have a choice I can say that that's just a meaningless symbol now open to interpretation cause they may not even know what it use to mean, and they think it's just a nice window decoration.. ..OR, I can act on what the symbol means to me and get my ass up outta there as quick as I can...I opt for the last choice...cause I'd rather be wrong and safe, then wrong and lynched.....
