Laudable.

But for those who deny the CBF carries racial connotations, they are flatly wrong. You can choose to be the bigger man and ignore it, as you have. That's fine. But it is what it is.

No one should be offended.

People should be allowed to freely ostracize themselves from most of society with backwards and old symbols pining for a past that never existed but in revisionist mythology.

Sort of like the Nazi defenders saying - it's just mean't to symbolize the form of the Christian Cross as our heritage.

Everyone knows what this shite means. And everyone knows the truth about the sole issue of the Civil War...and everyone knows about the Klan appropriating the flag in the 50's...and everyone knows the Stars and Bars were used as defiance against integration during the Civil Rights struggle.

So stop pretending all this heritage - state's rights - innocuous battle flag bullshite - you're are peddling to ignorant indoctrinated morons who will believe anything - to "keep [racist] hope alive."

Nobody but die-hard - silent racists - down yonder - believe differently.

So yes...this should be allowed - this license plate should be issued freely to all who want it.

All Americans should be allowed to freely purchase a Scarlet Letter on their car to announce to the world...

Stay clear of this a-hole.
