Do You Find This Sig Offensive?, Please let me know. Options

Hey guys. I just wanted a preview on my new sig. I don't mean it in a racial way, it is just a part of southern culture and heritage. But I completely understand if someone doesn't like it. Just let me know and I'll be sure to make a new one. Thanks!



If you can't make out the text, it says 'The flag fades, but the pride stays.'


PLEASE NOTE: this is not meant in any sort of racist way or anything. It is a part of my southern culture not any radical beliefs.

If you find it inappropriate or offensive, please let me know!

Thanks for your understanding.

I personally couldn't care less, but you should think about what it represents for most people or atleast how they associate it.

Yes, there is a historical background to the flag and yes, it was a major icon from Dukes of Hazzard, lol. But seriously, the swastika was originally an indian symbol and was adopted by the nazi party. Nowadays when people see a swastika, they don't think about indians... they assume it's a nazi symbol. In a similiar way, the rainbow flag. When I was young, people had flags of rainbows in front of their house and my sister and her friends had them all on their clothes and school supplies. Nowadays, people assume it's a gay thing(not that there's anything wrong with that).

So back to the Stars and Bars. Some people will argue that it's historical and it is... BUT... who adopted that flag after the Civil War??? Hmmm... I believe they're called the Ku Klux Klan and now similiar hate groups of Neo-Nazis. So there's my arguement... if you don't think that people associate the Stars and Bars with the KKK and Nazis, you should probably believe that the average person associates the swastika with American Indians as well.

Again, I could care less if you have it on here. Just showing what the average person might think though... so don't be surprised or get pissed off if people call you a bigot, racsist, or nazi.
