Look at what I just saw.
Sorry it's blurry; I almost didn't get it. You can see the hand painted rebel flag. There's a cloth rebel flag strapped to the hood. KKK is painted down the back of the cab. I quickly shot it with my phone, through my dirty windshield.

1. Oh, dear god.
I had to check your profile to see where you live. We have more than our share of that shit here in Virginia. Good times. :puke:

6. I rarely saw something like that when I lived in VA
But then, I lived in NOVA and Hampton Roads at those times.

9. I live in Barhamsville.
It's about halfway between Williamsburg and Richmond. Very red. Gloucester and James City County are pretty racists areas, too.

When did you live here? It's a really strange state. The only thing that saved us in 2008 was Northern Virginia. Then, of course, in 2009, Bob McDonnell became Governor by 17%.

13. Well, 20 years ago, I was living in Arlington
That's when I was working in the Pentagon. Then I went to Europe and came back to Hampton, Langley AFB.


I moved back home to Michigan a couple of years ago.

29. You're welcome
Out in the rural areas, I sometimes see rebel flag bumper stickers or those screens that go in the rear window of a truck. One can find shit like that at flea markets. This was so in your face and jaw dropping.

10. I once saw a Ford Escort station wagon 100% covered in duct tape on the highway
That was 1000% better than these bozos.

14. Let me guess...you live in a rural area?
I only say that because, from my experience, that's where I've ran into such dumbasses. Perhaps it's a side effect of the well water?

19. No, it's metro St. Louis
I was coming out of Best Buy. There is a large shopping mall across the street. It is very close to I-55, though. I wouldn't be as surprised if I saw it in the southern portion of Missouri.

23. Not really
That's why I noted that it was near I-55. I agree with you. I don't think that truck could last long around here.

17. I see stuff like this in rural California.
Not as blatant, but the message is the same.

22. Yeah, I've seen similar in rural California
And several other states to be fair. I guess hate and stupidity knows no bounds. :(

24. If it wasn't for the cloth flag on the hood I'd have thought it might have been vandalized.
Cause it looks like a POS.

27. That's a reasonable assumption
You made me lol. Not that it's a laughing matter; I was laughing at myself for not wondering the same thing. Mr. Obvious missed another one.
I was behind them for a block. No tailgate, empty bed and Missouri plates.
