here in six moonths then I saw the entire time I lived in Alabama, a total of 6 years.

Huge flags - 4'x6', being waved from car windows and stuffed in holes in the backs of big trucks, just flapping in the breeze. Almost frightening.

I've tried to explain that it is actually a flag of treason, especially when they have a huge US flag flying along with the racist one; they are convinced that they aren't really racists so it is just a flag of their "rebel honor". Many of their sentences start with, "I don't want to sound like a racist but," and proceed to try to vomit out their bs. I just patiently explain that that is how many racists start a sentence and maybe if they didn't spout such crap they wouldn't sound like the racists they aren't. Insane.

Would so love to move...
