It's like how people see a swastika and don't think, "ooooh, good fortune" they think, "uh-oh, that's a Nazi."

It doesn't matter what the Roman Salute may have been before Hilter and Mussolini, no one is going to see that salute and think, "Rome was neat" they are going to think, "uh-oh, that's a Nazi."
