Suppose you saw a row of flags...

[loyalsister]

A US flag, a confederate flag, and a Christian flag with a single cross mounted on a house. What would be your guess about the person who lived there? I saw this and it is especially disturbing to me. I am curious to see how many people jump to the same conclusions I did.

1. Well certainly that person isn't at all shy about

making his/her feelings well known.

[Angry Dragon]

2. a bigoted fundy

[Deep13]

3. white supremacist

Driving through rural PA once, I saw a tavern with a Confederate flag flying and a sign that read "heritage, not hate." Yes, in PA, which fought for the Union. Anyway, I read it as "whites only."

21. This is in a suburb of KCMO

Not exactly a bastion of hate groups. But MO is also not the most progressive state, either.

[MadHound]

34. This isn't surprising anywhere in Missouri,

While not a bastion of hate groups, we have our fair share. Not to mention bigots, racists and white supremacists in large numbers, especially in southern Missouri. Kansas City is also a pretty conservative large city, much more so than cities further east, even St. Louis.

26. Funny-the word I had in mind to type was "Klucker."

As in KKK.

[sdfernando]

4. My first reaction on is that the occupant

of this house is either a member of or sympathizes with the KKK or some similar organization.

[loyalsister]

24. That is my fear

Actually my first thought was a Christian Identity group.
Not sure how this got started. The logic for the confederate flag was that we had ancestors from the south who fought in the civil war. I don't buy it.

[Uncle Joe]

5. The person would be an evangelical, (patriot) aka; nationalist, conservative Southerner.

Thanks for the thread, loyalsister.

Edit for P.S. Possibly racist but not necessarily so.

[MicaelS]

7. Those would be my thoughts too.

Word for word.

[loyalsister]

10. That's what I was thinking

There is also a Gasden flag in the garage. I am seriously wondering and worried about what my dad has been up to and who he has been hanging out with.

edit to add
This is in Missouri. The northern most Southern state.

[oldhippydude]

6. probably that a swastika would be too obvious n/t

[loyalsister]

22. Like

That one had to be irresistible.

[lastlib]

8. a very confused individual lives there....

...is this a neighbor? "Well, you can fight 'em with conventional weapons--it could take years, and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part..."

[loyalsister]

12. Unfortunately it's my dad

The confederate flag has been around for awhile. The Christian flag is new. There are actually some confederate flags around inside the house, too.

My own futile effort would be to boycott family gatherings.

9. Not to sound stupid, but what is a Christian Flag? Some countries in Europe have a symbol of a

cross on their flag.

[Fawke Em]

13. This:

15. A christian flag is very plain

Just a plain upright cross in the middle.

[Jackpine Radical]

27. Like, all the Scandinavian countries, for example--

although their crosses are horizontal. Nevertheless, they are Christian crosses as one is supposed to have appeared in a vision in the sky to a Danish king as a sign of his impending victory in combat.

That was probably the last battle ever won by the Danes.

[demosincebirth]

11. Once I seen the confederate flag that would say it all. A flag that signifies the greated defeat

in the History of warfare. Any they are proud of that? Hummm.

[Tom Ripley]

14. Their swastika flag got lost in the mail?

[loyalsister]

17. LOL

My dad is very patriotic. He thinks of us as being against Hitler, so he wouldn't go that far.

[Deep13]

33. The owner is too busy to stand on the sidewalk with his middle finger extended. nt

[Scuba]

16. I saw a disturbing bumper sticker last week. The truck had several hunting-themed stickers....

.... but the one that caught my eye said "IF IT'S BROWN, IT'S DOWN".

[loyalsister]

19. Oh that is ugly!!

I guess there would be no problem getting a hate crime enhancement if the owner ever committed a crime against a person of color.

[Scuba]

20. Yeah, it's still bothering me.

[loyalsister]

28. This is certainly bothering me!

I am so thoroughly disgusted that I feel like I want to just eliminate him from my life. But, he is pretty sick and he has done plenty of nice things for me. Not sure I want to just write him off, but jeez!

[NightWatcher]

18. Chick Fil A has three flagpoles out front?

Sorry, I just hadta

[lunatica]

23. My first thought is Nasty Racist Skinhead Lives Here

[loyalsister]

29. Mine too if I didn't know the person

I have known him to be racist, but not at this level. I am wondering if there are any groups that specifically use those two symbols.

[WinkyDink]

25. That Coney Island "Christian flag" is STUPID, and you can tell yer old man I said so.

[gkhouston]

30. They have too many flagpoles and like fucking with people? n/t

[HopeHoops]

31. I'd be thinking "dementia".

[loyalsister]

32. I WISH!!
