piss on blacks in private and call it rain in public, then fight anyone who challenges them, and they prefer that the challengers be black. My parents lived in Ocala for a couple of years and I have to say that the majority of Ocalans are the stupidest bunch of people I've ever had the misfortune to be around.
They could actually come up with a new flag for Southern heritage if they rubbed two brain cells together. It could keep the colors and/or include some kinds of symbols of southern music, food, manners or environment, but no, they must insist like dumbasses on a failed flag designed by and for racists.
They're parading their racism for the nation to see, all right. But they've lost the brand fight.
