I'm not sure what's unclear about my words.

Because the Swastika is so obviously offensive to Jewish people, I wanted it to be clear that Black people feel the same way about the Confederate flag. The difference is, people are allowed to use the Confederate flag and call it pride. We don't see Americans using the Swastika in the same way. That's socially unacceptable but racism against Black people is still socially acceptable--that's the problem.
