What is the message behind this? - Electric Paper

I see this everywhere. Hidden or transparent monochrome American black flags on large trucks or 4-Runners. Usually speeding or driving aggressively on the highway. Honestly I learned to just avoid being near these people for my own safety on the road. I’m not saying everyone with these flags behaves this way, but it sure seems like it. I found this: > The black and white American flag originated during the American Civil War between 1861 and 1865. It was created as an opposing symbol to the white flag, which symbolizes surrender. Confederate army soldiers flew the black flag to demonstrate they would not give in or surrender to the enemy. It showed that they would rather be killed than taken in as prisoner. And this: > Sometimes soldiers show respect for their country by using the black version on their vehicles My question is for the people doing this. What message are you trying to send? Are you openly telling your coworkers and neighbors that you are still supporting the South in a war that ended long ago? Are you low key showing your support for Trump? Are you ex military showing support for your country? I ask because at least for me, the message is unclear and associated to someone being an asshole.

Its an American flag, it looks cool, and it matches most truck colors.

it’s not, though. it was used by Confederate traitors to signal that they’d rather be killed than br taken prisoner, and it’s used today by traitors to say the same thing.

The ‘No Quarter’ Flag and its Threat to America

There has been a rise in sightings of all-black American flags in Florida and across the country. While not only sinister in appearance, their meaning is even more so: “no quarter.”

With a reach like that, he should try out for the NBA!

Seriously, has he talked to literally anyone with one of those flags? He never mentions talking or even a source, he just makes an assertion and rolls with it.

you really think the Deputy Director of the FL ACLU is full of it and doesn’t know what he’s talking about?
Yes. That or hes actively malicious.
because he knows history and sees racist Trumpublicans hanging this flag?
Because he thinks he can read minds and that everyone is as obsessed with race wars as he is?
because he can read a history book.
And those who buy them don’t bother learning the history of the symbol.

so, you’re argument is they’re not racist, they’re just stupid?

got any proof of that?

More like there’s better things to worry about than the psuedo-history of a cool symbol. Can’t spend your life worrying about what randoms might think, because there will always be someone upset.

Also I did some googling. Nothing came up for the American monochrome “no quarter” flag. What did come up was old pirate flags. I honestly think he just made it up for the article.

you sure seem upset what people here think about this racist flag you seem to eager to defend. why don’t you practice what you preach?

Ah, I see. You redefined racist to mean “I don’t like this”
that’s your definition. just because you think that way doesn’t mean I do.
now who’s seeing things that aren’t there? lmao.
