I'd classify this as "Not The Onion" but it doesn't even have that *so absurd it's kind of funny* vibe. It's just fucking infuriating. "Potentially divisive" indeed.
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

Back in 1793, a penny could get you a biscuit, a candle or a piece of candy. These days, many sit in drawers or glass jars and are basically cast aside or collected as lucky keepsakes.
