You should offer your neighbor assistance with ending his crack addiction.

Your response should’ve been “why aren’t you flying an American flag?”

Absolutely. I think President Trump will turn this around by the end of his Second year of his second Term. I think his risk of assassination escalates daily

It’s funny, before June, this guy and I used to shoot the shite pretty often when we saw each other outside. Ever since George Floyd, he doesn’t seem to want to speak to me much.


Then, when he questioned, you should've asked him what he THINKS it represents. The fact that you two had a good relationship before the MSM divided you means that you could've had a convert to American pride. You missed an opportunity to build knowledge and truly wake a person up.

I actually believe this happened. People have managed to make the American flag symbolic of really bad shite. That's not good.

Not a bad idea. Might order a few and keep them in my truck to pass out.

Had I not been on phone conversation when he asked, this would’ve been the probable response.

Should’ve asked him what does the phrase “black lives matter” mean.

When I got pulled in from work today, my black neighbored ask
“What’s with the flag? What’s it represent?”
I responded “America”
He asked “Is that all?”


What you experienced there was a bit of racism.

Black people have always been very racist. It's hard to notice from certain perspectives but I have heard from many many progressive black folks that old black men are the most racist people in America.

It's also hard to notice because most racism doesn't really affect anyone, it's just a mental crutch people use to make themselves feel better about their own shitty situation.

I think it's best to try and not take it personally and consider all the stuff the media is trying to put in this guy's head a lot people aren't strong enough to resist this and they need people that are able to, to set a good example.

Proudly displaying an American flag is as strong an indicator of a Trump supporter as proudly wearing a mask is a sign of a liberal within 90% accuracy.

Precisely why it is on my truck. We are at war for our country right now, during times of war you fly your colors. Just hoping I don’t go down to my truck in the morning and find busted windows.

I wish you were a lefty just so you could tell us how that red pill tasted. It’s pretty obnoxious when a leftist pretends they don’t hate this country since you know they’re lying at this point.

Half our population is so stupid that they’ve been indoctrinated to hate their country and dont even realize it. What’s left over are the sane *lol* leftists who are too pretentious and prideful to admit they’ve been duped.
