102. As a descendent of slaves, I would have to say no.

And, no, I'm not looking to get into whose oppression was worse; it's all evil. But one thing about the US flag, and feel free to label me naive; true there's much blood and terror in its name from day one to today, but it also came to symbolize, in certain instances, the promise and potential of freedom.

I see that in neither the swastika or the stars-n-bars. Each symbol is probably one of the final images seen respectively by victims forced into gas chambers or lynched from a tree.
