They are nowhere near dead. Not by a long shot.
But I certainly like your sentiment.

It isn't in the Urban Dictionary. It isn't in the Racial Slurs database. So why don't you fill us in.

But there are three other non-racist definitions for that. And it must not be an extremely common joke. I've spent most of my life around racist cretins and have never heard it.

Oh ... wait.





Yeah, that one pisses me off to no end either. That flag called for unity, not division. For union, not confederacy. Those people love waving the Red, White & Blue. I always figured the Gadsden flag should belong to us.
