White Pride Flag for sale on Amazon: will others complain about it too? (Update: Removed!)

12. Have you heard the term 'white pride' before?

Here's where it's used:

The only people who use it approvingly are extreme racists. No, it's not crosshairs (though that may be meant to be a subconscious association, who knows); it's a Celtic Cross, which they use because it's associated with Northern Europe - to these people, southern Europeans are inferior too, as well as any non-Christian.

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.

But putting 'white pride' above it is using it with the same 'trappings' that the KKK intended.
