I know, I just can't stand the fact that people can be so stereotypical and think that just because someone has a Confederate flag sticker on their vehicle that they are some white trash. I guess I need to get my African American friend next to his big red Doge, since hes got a Confederate flag mounted in the bed.
If one person sees something and is offended by it, then it is offensive. It certainly is a symbol of history, but so is the swastika. The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used for over 3,000 years. That even predates the ancient Egyptian symbol, the Ankh! Despite this, you don't see people putting the swastika on their cars. They don't because the ****'s used it and made it offensive. Many people feel that the confederate flag is offensive as well. I don't feel like the people who put it on their cars are rednecks. I just feel that they are ignorant and insensitive enough to put a symbol on their cars that, to some people, is offensive. If you don't think that there are some people who are offended by the confederate flag, you really are ignorant! If you know that there are people who are offended by it and still put it on your car, then you're insensitive.
Well I guess we are ignotorant and insensitve....We have one on our expeditions front plate. Its a commom site in the south. You have an opinion and so do I. I feel the same way when I see Fubu clothing. Everyone weres it but most people dont know what that stands for. I dont feel its nessisary to complain about it. Plus I hardly think this is the place for this discussion anyway.

Now, I'm not one to try to be PC just to keep from offending someone, but I don't think this part of the heritage of the Old South is something to be particularly proud of. I don't see how anyone with any knowledge of U.S. history over the last couple centuries could use the "heritage, not hate" line. As a southerner, I'm ashamed of the period of our heritage that led to the creation of such a symbol.
To try and keep this on topic...this is not a sticker I would put on my vehicle. However, I go to work everyday so I can have the freedom to state my opinion, and anyone else can have the freedom to put whatever sticker on their vehicle that they choose.
