Wow Tony!! I dont typically approve of that type of sticker either, but wow!
Take it easy! The Confederate flag isnt necessarily an international symbol
of racism! If it were a swastica then I'd be worried, but the flag is more-
or-less (to me) just a symbol of the southern states that tried to succeed
from the US. Granted thier morals were a little screwed! But realisticly it
isnt the sign for slavery, it is still on some of the southern states flags
now! But dont get me wrong, I understand how you feel, but I hope we as
"humans" never sink to that low again. And the killing of that man down south
by the dragging behind a truck I think we all consider pretty tragic and
unbelievable. They deserve capital punishment or a good stoning in the town
square.
Now if a person buys that sticker to show their hate for people of different
decent, then that really is just a display of their ignorance and stupidity.
Its just like having a sign on their truck saying "Hey!!! Im an asshole!!"
