well since it's an old tradition I wish they would do it right in downtown DC and have Obama out there to hail them an gi dem a tour a de yt house </div></div>

If it is an old religious tradition in Spain why would there be a need to perform same tradition in the US where it would be lost in translation.

apparently the tradition in Spain is that the hoods are to hide the identity of the sinners...but you can go ahead and be judgemental dahjah...i'm sure they'd not think much of Haile Selassie or your dreads. guess yer even.

Both the Swastica and the star if David have been and still are religious symbols in India. ....and they predates both Judaism and the Nazi <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: dahJahPawtTwo</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Peasie</div><div class="ubbcode-body">But this is an old tradition of dressing up in Spain and pre-dates KKK if that's what you're implying.

In the opening scene of <span style="font-style: italic">The Da Vinci Code</span>, Professor Langdon presented some symbols, including the hood and the swastika, Poseidon's trident, the &quot;all-seeing eye&quot;, to the audience during his lecture and asked them to identify the symbols. Not surprisingly, they answered based on current perceptions or meanings. He then showed them the ancient symbolism and meanings.

Re: Is Holy week in spain, I wish dem would dweet roun here

as I stated above, how did a de swastika become an evil symbol and why is it still. If it was a righteous symbol before why is it still unacceptable today? And what if these same ppl had them on their garment, would it then bother you?

But isn't this an example of how the original meaning of a thing can evolve or change over time in the various cultures/societies?

It's the usage that makes it 'bad' (to reiterate what I said in another thread).


On a side note: Words and their original meanings have also evolved, positively or negatively depending on the connotation:
Now, who nowadays would say 'I am blithe, happy and gay!&quot; ?

Yes very true, but the worst part is how ppl are ok with this one, but when they see (as I said b4) the swastika they get upset. It actually shows disrespect for blk ppl on that persons part if they can get upset bout one and not the other by brushing it off as...
