LOL--I think you nailed this. It's pretty obvious it was unintentional, but...a second opinion would have left that tie in the store where it belongs

If a white man wore it-there would be people calling for his head everywhere.

My first thought was cool, looks like an MC Escher print. I would've worn it to work too, unless my wife saw it first.

Swastika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

Yes, but unfortunately Hitler pretty much hijacked it, and for better or worse, it's always gonna be identified with Nazism and the attempted extermination of an entire race of mankind. Someone else mentioned in another thread that they wondered why one of his assistant coached, pr personnel or member of the media didn't mention it to him.

You would've intentionally worn a tie covered in swastikas? Why?
