I see this everywhere. Hidden or transparent monochrome American black flags on large trucks or 4-Runners. Usually speeding or driving aggressively on the highway.
I found this:
The black and white American flag originated during the American Civil War between 1861 and 1865. It was created as an opposing symbol to the white flag, which symbolizes surrender.

Ah, I see. You redefined racist to mean “I don’t like this”

no that’s you cherry-picking your sources.
got this fun meme from another comment!
Its literally the wikipedia article for no-quarter flags. What more do you want?
a wikipedia article that doesn’t even mention the flag under discussion, lmao.
what I want is less of you defending racism and racist symbols, but I think that’s asking too much from you.
