Background/History |
This is one of the
most popular symbols for neo-Nazis and white supremacists. First
popularized by the Ku Klux Klan, the symbol was later adopted by the
National Front in England and other racists such as Don Black on his Web
site, Stormfront, and the racist band Skrewdriver to represent
international "white pride." It is also known as Odin’s Cross.
It is important to note that the Celtic Cross is used widely today in many
mainstream and cultural contexts. No one should assume that a Celtic
Cross, divorced from other trappings of extremism, automatically denotes
use as a hate symbol. |
