That's not what is has become. That's what it was since the first day it was conceived. It didn't undergo some transformative process from a symbol of hope to a symbol of racism. It's always been a symbol of racism.
i'm just trying to point out it was merely a flag. it was used by a bunch of ignorant butt crevasses that at the time, were stupid. unfortunately after the fact, even more ignorant dumbarses used it to the extremes.
