SIGH, I saw a confederate flag sticker on the back of a pickup truck.

[elshiva]

This is rural Maryland, but it just makes me mad. :grr:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

[elshiva]

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. lol

I am fine as a frog hair ;)

[elshiva]

12. "Fine as froghair."

[Tangerine LaBamba]

2. Here in Northern Virginia,

which is as urban as any city, I see such aberrations every now and then. Usually paired with a USMC sticker, too, which makes it even more disturbing.

Quantico is only a half-hour south of here.

But, seeing them together - not good .................

[mentalsolstice]

3. Yeh, not somebody I'd want to hang out with

And the if you pair it up with one of these, , well, I'm history, that's all I need to know.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. ah ....hell go on and throw in one of these for the bumper........

[elshiva]

6. Actually, it was a woman driving the truck.

:(

[mentalsolstice]

15. Oh those too!

When I see any of these turning into a eating place or bar, I keep on truckin'!

[Mendocino]

18. I once saw truck balls

coupled with USMC, NRA, Glock Pistols, Fireman Kick Ash and Confederdate Flag Sticker all on one vehicle. I hope the owner was just the sararcatic type. ...Nah.

10. You get a few miles away from the I-95 corridor here, it gets scary.

Get over towards Frederick, watch out for the KKKlan.

:scared:

[elshiva]

13. Oh, dear. But, I do like Frederick.

[madinmaryland]

14. I'm not Frederick!

Though my gggg-grandfather's name was Fredrich!

[elshiva]

16. I like you, honey.

:hug: ;)

[gbate]

22. A few miles north in Cecil County is another KKK hotbed.

[TZ]

26. Actually Frederick itself isn't horrible

Its when you get north of there. I believe that Thurmont has the largest Clan Camp in Maryland. :scared:

[DarkTirade]

11. Racism is not limited to the southern half of the US.

I thought I'd get away from it when I moved up north. It's usually a bit more subtle here, but its still here.

[raccoon]

19. Preach it, brother. nt

[LostinVA]

20. I actually think it's LESS subtle up here

I grew up in NJ, lived in NC and VA for 25 years, and am now back up in NJ. It's way less intergrated here re: neighborhoods and townships, as well as other stuff I've observed.

[struggle4progress]

17. They lost

[gbate]

21. You must be my neighbor.

I'm in semi-rural Maryland myself.

There is a house up the street that flies a Confederate flag. During the election, it was positioned quite appropriately next to a McCain sign.
Also, one of my co-workers has a bumper sticker on his car defending the flying of the
Confederate flag. (right next to his marriage = one man/one woman sticker)

Ugh!!

[NewJeffCT]

23. Heck, I saw a Confederate flag in a house window in Farmington, CT

Farmington - one of the more posh suburbs of Hartford, CT, where rapper 50-Cent has a home that's on the market for $14.5 million or so. The home used to be owned by Mike Tyson (yes, that Mike Tyson) and a disgraced millionaire (Sisti?) who was involved in some sort of investment scam back in the 90s owned it before that. Granted, the house where I saw it was an older and more run down home at the corner of 2 busy streets

So, it's not just rural Maryland.

24. It makes me mad too, but then I also think it's good when they identify themselves.

Better to know that about someone so you can avoid them.

[Orsino]

25. A little voice inside my head said "Don't do crack; don't do hillbilly crack." n/t

[Lethe]

27. did they have Yosemite Sam mudflaps?

if not they ain't no true sutherner; i got both on my truck.

[LibertyLover]

28. Heck, I live in Annapolis

and I've seen them on cars and trucks here. And we are definately not rural. It's sad really. Of course I should admit that my husband has a sticker with the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia on it on his jeep. It's paired with the US flag and is for the North-South Skirmish Association, a group dedicated to the Civil War, that he belongs to.

[LynneSin]

29. Well someone who lives in NE Maryland flies the flag near I95

I've seen it a few times when I'm in the area

[Kajsa]

30. I see an occasional one here

in SoCal.

There's a jerk who parks his jacked up pickup truck
at a local grocery store parking lot with one on the bumper.
:(

They are far and few between but unfortunately,
I still see them around.

I hear ya,

:grr:

[RebelOne]

31. It's not an unusual sight here in Georgia. n/t

[NJmaverick]

32. sadly ignorance and hatred are rampant in our nation

just a sad fact of life.
