But it is the 1st time that I have seen a black man sporting a rebel flag. Not just a bumper sticker, magnet sign or something symbolic of Ole Miss, this is an obvious true confederate flag mounted to the bumper of a mid size SUV that can be interpreted one way, unless the contractor thought that he may be able to drum up white customers.

It probably would have snapped off, creating a hazard to other cars behind him. It certainly would have blocked his rear view mirror.

A huge flag seems an odd choice for some jerk who wants to publicly profess his love of slavery and traitors. No bumper stickers, no window decals, no graphics decorating the sides, not even a t-shirt with an homage to that famous rebel, Yosemite Sam, or a flag emblem embroidered on his hat, no rebel bling, no flag flare, nothing to validate his true support of racist symbology.

I'm going with fakery too.
