Interpolic Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Pretty sure it's got something to do with Catholicism as it formed part of the badge on my high school jumper, otherwise ive finally worked out why I'm such an inexplicably massive racist.

triggs Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Celtic cross isn't really to do with Catholicism. Its more just Irish and Scottish symbol. As Belfast mag said it is on the NI team crest and they aren't exactly associated with catholicism to say the least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I've always thought of Celtic Cross as this and this is more like this this ie in black and white and without the bottom bit. I assume its them latching on to it as an emblem but thats just where I've always seen that version of it used like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Mags Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Ok, so google tells me it's a white power/neo nazi symbol, so that seems pretty clear now Did not know that. The Celtic Cross doesn't necessarily have to have the longer bottom bit, but in any event, this symbol is known as "the Celtic cross" amongst them because they consider the "celts" as the true "Europeans" and as such, racial pure. depressing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Awful that, shows how you can take something and fucking soil it completely purely by association (as in I linked it with that in my head before I did celtic) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Been spotted around Newcastle. Where the fuck was this? According to a lad on Twitter opposite the Goose in town. Next to the loading bay for Eldon Square. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Belfast mag said it is on the NI team crest and they aren't exactly associated with catholicism to say the least Certainly adopted by the Catholic church in Ireland (both Roman & Anglican) but predates all churches and was originally a Druid symbol (or something like that) Remember something about "the four elements" or something like that. Can't be arsed to google it, but it's something of that nature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Celtic crosses have somehow ended up as white supremacist symbols. They are pretty common among racist cunts over here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
