What, it ain't PC to describe oneself as "white" anymore?
Should I find someone else to stand on the sidelines and describe me as white, therefore removing my ego from the equation?
Okay, then I'll try it your way: "Somebody told me I am a white man who has no problem with displays of the Confederate Battle Flag and Naval Jack or the Bonnie Blue, as well as the Flag of the United States."
Guess I'm now a racist, since I obviously can't "feel their pain", whatever that means and I've known for over 50 years that I am white. And it generates no guilt in me whatever.
But the blood my ancestors shed for the defense of the Confederate Flag (rightly or wrongly) is the same color as the blood I shed for the Flag of the United States. And I have had a moment or two of wondering if that was for the right reasons, also.
Oh, yeah, I assure you, I'm very well educated, but I don't travel in the company of like minded "flaggers" or at least I don't think I do; but then, I have no idea what a "flagger" is.
I wonder what they would do if someone were to tattoo a Rebel Flag on their forehead?
Well, most likely there would be one hell of an ass-whooping if someone tried.
And just what does a festering sewer-hole like Oakland got to do with anything?
My experience with the Confederate Flag folks...
It appears your experience may be just a little limited.
Wearing a Confederate Flag whilst surrounded by antagonistic people, I'm only picking Oakland because it's recognizable as a place that a proud Rebel would likely hide his true feelings.
White, Black, Yellow, who cares really what your color is.
The only reason I brought up the tattooing is to eliminate the dress code issue. On the other hand, only the most committed Rebels would do so, the ones doing it for fashion would quickly be revealed. I love the challenge of free speech, how far would those people go to regulate the expression of these kids? You sensitive flaggers sure get upset easily. Ha!
Worth repeating!
