It's so wack seeing the flags up here in the northern ass PNW. Like at least back down south there was at least the THINNEST defense of southern pride, and there was a chance someone flying that flag was incidentally racist rather than explicitly racist. If you flyin that shit up here you HATE black people.
it brings me no joy to tell you that they hang that rag in fucking Canada. that shit was at my high school draped across lockers. that shit was directly across the street from my house. any and all pretense of """southern pride""" has been long since dropped it's just straight up a white supremacist icon on par with the swastika in my eyes
it's also popular with some european ultras.
you know, the kinds of people who have on occasion thrown bananas at black football players. people who haven't exactly been shying away from using other hate symbols, either.
