no. 105

"Just for anyone who is still wondering about the racist implications of this flag… here’s a fun fact. A lot more of these started popping up after Obama took office.

A more honest and open version of this sticker would read, when I look at all these black people all over the place in America, I realize that slavery wasn’t really worth it in the end.

Oh but it’s heritage, not hate. We don’t hate them. We just wish they weren’t here, you know, trying to be equal to us."

Maybe it is about heritage. But it's also about racism, at least for some. The two don't necessarily apply to everyone who like the flag, but it applies to the flag itself, through simple usage and history. To deny this is like saying that the swastika is a religious symbol and so all that "extra" Nazi stuff doesn't really apply.
