It also had a Confederate flag on it. I saw it in Virginia over the weekend.

3. It translates roughly to "White Heteros Only"
What a surprise to find it attached to a Confederate flag...

6. And may be some kind of play...
...on the standard "Question Authority" stickers.

The bearer probably isn't big on questioning anything, though.

9. Wow. And people keep claiming that the confederate flag
is just a cultural symbol, not a symbol of racism. x(

That bumper sticker makes it pretty clear the SOMEONE considers that flag a symbol of white supremacy.

10. The Confederate Flag is steeped in racism
Edited on Wed Aug-15-07 12:44 PM by Taverner
And this goes BEYOND the slavery connotations.

The flag is a modification of St. Andrew's cross, a reference to the Scotch Clans that made up the Southern Demographic. Unlike the Stars and Stripes, which implies openness and freedom, the cross is a "anglos only" message that students of history may pick up on.

12. I wasn't aware of that--thanks!
For my money, its connection to the Confederacy and its proud defense of slavery is sufficient reason to reject the banner.

I had no idea that the inherent racism was so much deeper.
