Poll question: I saw a strange bumpersticker. What does it mean? |
|
On a big pickup: sticker showing the confederate flag, with text saying something like "you can have my flag when you forget about MLK Day"
I suppose Durham's in the South, but this is a solid Dem area, and I only very rarely see stuff like that here: the last really ugly sticker I saw ("Democrats suck" or some similar jabber) was about five years ago
So I'm trying to figure out what it means

1. "My ethnic particularism... |
|
...is as least as good as your ethnic particularism."
Complete mis-reading of MLK, and the CSA, but there it is.

2. There's a truck around here that has a sticker on it that I keep trying to figure out, too. |
|
It's of a silhouette of a woman on all fours overlaid with the confederate flag. I am a feminist, but so help me, every time I see it, I think, why yes indeed, screw the south!
But I don't think that's what the guy is getting at, really.

3. Reminiscent of the "If you wear your X, I'll wear mine" |
|
In reference to Malcom X and the Confederate flag.

8. It means if black people can have MLK day, the rebels can have their flag. |

9. Nothing stupider than a good ol' boy redneck...I've seen plenty |
|
and believe me, it's not a pretty sight. The fools actually believe someone, somewhere, cares enough to try to deprive them of their "confedrut" flags. They're about as relevant as spitoons and much less useful.
