Current Events > I wonder if BLM would get immensely triggered if they visited Ireland

(+) Yeah! (+)

Celtic Crosses everywhere, but not in the way they think it means.

I hope BLM actually knows the difference.

Are you suggesting that the Right wing hate groups don't use it ?

Yes he is

I'm saying they should know actual history vs. hijacked symbol.

Just like what happened with another symbol that belonged to a Eastern Religion (which the nazis hijacked).
---

And what would this prove in actual context?
---

The IRA was/is far worse than anything radical BLM members have done so lets hope those people within BLM DON'T go to Ireland.

I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about, but the real celtic cross was never a hate symbol. That is a new invention hijacking the symbol to be a hate symbol, learning history goes a long way.

Funny you bring them use. I am guess most people who called BLM terrorist would not do the same with the IRA.

The conclusion I want to say about this that I feel sorry for any Irish Person who wear it for religious purposes because if anybody in BLM saw that...well bad things might happen.

Too much emotion.

Not enough logic.

People use the celtic cross as a hate symbol? This is news to me. But if a BLM member attacked an Irishman for wearing a celtic cross, I would expect the blm member to go to prison for assault

It's weird how you're taking one detail out of one news story and trying to remove all context to insult BLM.

That news story made me think about unintended consequences if BLM were to target the wrong kind of people that have nothing to do with Racists.

Also far as I know about BLM that they have caused violence, so it does leave me somewhat concerned.

BLM isn't even smart enough to properly recognize the Celtic cross. They think the O from the Diablo font set is the same thing.

Weren't you the one that made that comparison?

Anything that upsets or demoralizes a terrorist group is A-ok with me.

I didn't make the comparison, I pointed out that it's the way the letter looks that the font uses. Pretty sad that a group whose hobby is getting offended isn't even educated enough to do so properly.

Then why say that if no one actually made the comparison? I'm sure there's still a lot of people who don't know the swastika symbol means outside of nazi symbol. We just notice how certain people use it.

The Diablo O (which the cop used) is not the same as the Celtic cross. The BLM lawyer was too stupid to know this.

Gee, it's almost as if certain symbols have different meanings under different contexts.
