Taylor Swift Embraces the Swastika

UPDATE: Swift's rep just put together this swift explanation for TMZ, "Taylor took pictures with about 100 people that night ... she doesn't know who this guy is and she didn't realize what was on his shirt."

What the heil was Taylor Swift thinking?

Taylor Swift Embraces the Swastika

During Katy Perry's birthday party in West Hollywood last weekend, 19-year-old Swift put her arm around a guy wearing a Nazi swastika -- a symbol of hate, murder and evil -- and smiled for a photograph.

There are rumblings that the "JH" on Swift's shirt stands for "Jew Hater" -- but it seems more likely it stands for Julianne Hough due to the fact that Hough had a "TS" painted on her outfit ... most likely for Taylor Swift.

For those who didn't want to read the very LONG explanation, the original meaning of the swastika symbol is actually positive: The word swastika is derived from the Sanskrit word svastika (in Devanagari स्वस्तिक), meaning any lucky or auspicious object, and in particular a mark made on persons and things to denote good luck.

In east Asia, people still OPENLY wear the symbol which has been around for thousands of years. The symbol was given a bad name to the western world by the Nazis, but is still acceptable in MOST of the world.

By the way, that GUY is the idiot if he wanted to wear a symbol of hate..b.c it's the wrong way. The Nazis used the left-facing Swastika as their symbol of hatred. The one this dude has on his shirt is right-facing, a symbol that Hindus such as myself use to symbolize peace & harmony.

Leave poor Taylor alone..I agree with the person who stated that this is a highly irresponsible title.

It actually looks like the symbol the Dirty Rotten Imbeciles use which is basically a punk rocker dancing. If you look at the top middle you see a head. C'mon folks...calm down.

Yah. Okay. Perhaps this symbol has ancient meaning in other cultures. In THIS culture it symbolizes a movement of hate and crimes against humanity.

It is unacceptable to say, "yeah, so what." The swasticka should remind all of us that evil is alive and well in this world, and this evil can happen to YOU and YOUR loved ones. Never, ever forget!

I didn't think Taylor Swift could get any worse than being an overly saccharine "country" singer from PA who affects a fake British accent in her "music." Guess I was wrong! And by the way, ignorance is no excuse for stupidity and racism. Especially when you choose to be out there in the public eye.

I wonder how all the Jewish record producers feel about Ms. Swift's photograph with this tool?

"swastika" comes from the sanskirt "svastika"--sv means good---asti means to be ka as a suffix..this symbol has been used for over 3000 years as far back as 1000 bce. ancient troy used the symbol on their coins and pottery...it does not mean nazi....
