This 1930's ink blotter has Jesse Owens and the NAZI flag, do you keep it as a tribute to Owens, or throw it because of the NAZI symbol.

You get rid of it but not because of the Nazi flag

You get rid of it because Owens' blackness is obscured by making all the athletes blacked out

Obviously if that's really from the 1930s you keep it. I mean come on. It's got the NAZI flag because it's showing a German athlete that won a particular event when that was the national flag of Germany. Right?

And that was in 1936 before anyone knew how bad the NAZIs were going to be. WWII started in 1939.
