(Genuine question) Isn’t it also something artists do? Madonna being the most famous No, it's not "something artists do". Madonna was referencing the KKK. If you see anyone else doing it, the same is true (certainly in an American context, at least). Burning crosses is a KKK symbol, full stop. It's not ambiguous in any way. Madonna was using it in a critical way, but nevertheless she did of course get a lot of grief for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when I was a kid I used to think that burning crosses meant they were anti-Christian. But no, they claim to be Christian -- the kind of Christian that stands for the opposite of everything I was taught the label meant, but anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_burning Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
