I lived in a neighborhood where nobody displayed the flag. I had a small one outside and it was stolen so I placed one at a window inside my townhouse. Incidentally, I lived in a predominantly black neighborhood. I guess to them the flag meant Republican.
Yes, sad that our flag is characterized as partisan. My neighbors all think I’m a right-wing-wacko because of the Tea Party sticker on my car. So anything I do/display is probably looked as a (insert qualifier here) wacko.
Okay, I am a wacko! But when I say I’m a believer in the Constitution, they don’t get it, shake their heads and walk away. Living in Richmond, there is so much history, but also so many stupid people who don’t know or care. How can you walk down Marshall St, next to the home of Justice John Marshall, or go on Broad St next to the home of George Wythe, or walk by St. John’s Church, and not get it?
