The swastika in the decorative Hindu form.

also I never said how you had to wear it, or what direction it had to be in. You just made an assumption.

You said to wear a Swastika. The Swastika (卐Wink is the Nazi symbol, which represented their power and elitist ways. The Manji (卍Wink is a very old Buddhist symbol of peace. Did you even read that Wikipedia article? It even stated in the first paragraph that the Swastika is the mirrored version.

Did you read it? First sentence of that link:
The swastika (Sanskrit: स्वास्तिकWink is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, in either right-facing (卐Wink form or its mirrored left-facing (卍Wink form.

EDIT::
Here's what that link includes within Buddhism. I'll bold and underline what you should pay attention to Shi:

Buddhism

Buddhism originated in the 5th century BCE and spread throughout the Indian subcontinent in the 3rd century BCE (Maurya Empire).
The swastika symbol (right-hand) is alleged to have been stamped on Gautama Buddha's chest by his initiates after his death. It is known as The Heart's Seal.[citation needed] The swastika figures on the Pillars of Ashoka.
With the Silk Road transmission of Buddhism, the Buddhist swastika spread to Tibet and China.
Known as a "yung drung"[23] in ancient Tibet, it was a graphical representation of eternity.[24]
The paired swastika symbols are included, at least since the Liao Dynasty, as part of the Chinese language, the symbolic sign for the character 萬 or 万 (wàn in Mandarin, man in Korean, Cantonese and Japanese, vạn in Vietnamese) meaning "all" or "eternality" (lit. myriad) and as 卐,
which is seldom used. The swastika marks the beginning of many Buddhist scriptures. The swastika (in either orientation) appears on the chest of some statues of Gautama Buddha and is often incised on the soles of the feet of the Buddha in statuary.

Well judging that A) I've read about ancient symbols in high school, B) this isnt the first time I've linked to that article on SP, C) I've read it before even needing to use it here, and D) that I just edited in something you should read, yes.

No idea. May be you're end of the internet but it's fine on mine. Or you just threw it up in attempt at humor. Either way *shrug*

No, really. All I did was hit "quick reply," typed in what I did under the "[/quote]" and hit "post quick reply." It threw that bit in by itself.

Pretty sure there are a fair amount of black comedians who tell what could be taken as offensive jokes about white people quite a lot. Are you saying it's not right for whites to do the same? What a double standard.

Milelke Wrote:By the way black people aren't black, we're brown (some are even paler than some Caucasians). I get really annyoed by the over usage of "black", but it's so much easier to say and is shorter than "African-American" so I understand.

The usage of African-American isn't even correct. African-American should only be used for those who just moved from Africa to America, most of the "African-Americans" in America today have been here just as long as the "British-Americans" (White People) and you don't hear people going around calling them British-Americans do you? No, not unless they just came from England. So such incorrect term as African-American shouldn't even be used when most African-Americans are just simple Americans just like the white people.

I know this. They should all just be called Americans. We had a discussion like this in one of my classes, and came to the same thing. If you can't trace your heritage,and you live in America, you should just be called "American".

So, since I can trace my heritage back to Scotland, I'm a Scottish-American? False. I was born and raised in America along with the last few generations in my family. Being able to trace your heritage doesn't mean you're supposed to be announced as that heritage. There's no real term for United States citizens, since the term "American" can be used to describe anyone on the Northern and Southern American continents.

I'm black, I don't say nigger, I don't watch black comedians who say it, I don't listen to racist jokes (when i can help it). Don't make assumptions of my attitude.

i was going to post a serious answer, but then i remembered this is the funhouse, and it looks that because someone doesn't have the same definition of fun as others, is throwing a tantrum, therefore i scraped away my serious comment, and decided to go with this:
