re: Before Amazon pulled them, its sales of Confederate Batlle Flags had skyrocketed

There was a guy that drove around my neighborhood when i was a teenager in an old beat up ford truck with two large confederate battle flags flying from the back. On the tailgate where it said FORD, he had painted in "fricking Ornery Redneck Dude."

It was pretty strange because I grew up in fairly affluent neighborhood. I heard that he apparently lived out of that truck. I think at some point the truck broke down on him, and he just slept in it parked by the levee.
