Series gravitas there, man.
Thanks for the picture... it shows that symbolism means differnt things to different people. Painting people who are proud of their heritage as evil is wrong.
I like the Bonnie Blue Flag. They’re for sale all over the internet.
“Man In Confederate Flag Shirt Pulls Over On Freeway To Help Black Man Change His Tire”
Expected. Black guy was lucky it wasn’t another black pulling over to ‘help’ him (based on statistical norms).
For those that understand no explanation is necessary; for those who don’t understand, no explanation is possible or ever enough.
Exactly. Leftists cannot seem to grasp the idea that not everybody sees the world the same way they do. It blows their minds when I tell them up front that I do not agree that the Confederate battle flag stands for any of the things they think it stands for.
Three years ago......today it would be White Klansman jacks up black guy for no reason......
This is like me writing an article “a black man gave me money at the cash register because I was short! Imagine that! He didn’t take my money! He gave me some!”
Sounds racist now?
I have had so many male chauvinists stop and change a tire for me :) what is it with these regressive people anyway?
I don’t think blogs are still a thing.
I like the Bonnie Blue Flag.
Which one? There are different renditions.

Reading the twatter thread the channon poster deserves a bunch of black thugs helping her and her dad. They got help but still all she sees is hate based on the stars and bars.
I bet her name is Dixie.
The flag ain’t personal. We have one. We would change that guy’s tire.
They are, and he can smell ‘em.
"The war of northern aggression"
I don't know anymore if this was all about slavery. Seems like much of it was about central government overreach.
In reality there wasn't a *lick* of trouble from either the white guys *or* the black guys.
This was only a couple of years after the height of the "civil rights" movement.
Dude, you always crack me up.
Why does everyone think that people honoring the memory of their fore-fathers by showing the Confederate flag, are automatically prejudiced against blacks? After more than a half dozen generations, there is simply no reason to connect the Confederacy with current racism.
I grew up in the far North, and never even set foot south of the Mason-Dixon line until I was 24. My fore-bearers immigrated into the US just a decade before the Civil War, and never owned a slave nor had any connection with slavery. My great-great uncle was conscripted into the union army at age 17, and was killed fighting against the Confederacy before he even spoke English. I obviously have no background in anything to do with the Confederacy. Yet, I can certainly respect the right of people of the South to honor their own history. That doesn’t make them racists.
