More Examples:
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. Confederate army soldiers flew the black flag to demonstrate they would not give in or surrender to the enemy. It showed that they would rather be killed than taken in as prisoner.
And this:
Sometimes soldiers show respect for their country by using the black version on their vehicles
My question is for the people doing this. What message are you trying to send? Are you openly telling your coworkers and neighbors that you are still supporting the South in a war that ended long ago? Are you low key showing your support for Trump? Are you ex military showing support for your country? I ask because at least for me, the message is unclear.
And those who buy them don’t bother learning the history of the symbol.
so, you’re argument is they’re not racist, they’re just stupid?
got any proof of that?
More like there’s better things to worry about than the psuedo-history of a cool symbol. Can’t spend your life worrying about what randoms might think, because there will always be someone upset.
Also I did some googling. Nothing came up for the American monochrome “no quarter” flag. What did come up was old pirate flags. I honestly think he just made it up for the article.
Edit: heres the wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_quarter
Super side track, what do you think of Tampa Bay Buccaneer fans? Pittsburg Pirates fans? The Pirate Bay torrent site? Disney, who produced the Pirates of the Carribean?
you sure seem upset what people here think about this racist flag you seem so eager to defend. why don’t you practice what you preach?
Ah, I see. You redefined racist to mean “I don’t like this”
now who’s seeing things that aren’t there? lmao.

funny how the flag under discussion isn’t shown or mentioned on this page.
Exactly my point. I think the dude made it up.
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.
Just because some asshat called it racist doesn’t mean its racist.
Also, he called it a no-quarter flag, said it’s racist because it’s a no-quarter flag. And then I showed the wikipedia article for no-quarter flags, and nothing on that page shows a monochrome american flag. And when shown you were wrong, you claimed wikipedia is cherry picking. this is a waste of time.
