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

[Axel]

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 think if you had to ask the question you already have your answer. However the world is way too PC and it is just a picture on a website. There are other things to get worked up about......

I agree that the world is too pc nowadays, but we're also not pc enough at times. Also, quick edit on my previous post, meant to say that the thread WASN'T directed completely at Axel. I'm not really offended by the image, but I am empathatic to others and can understand why they would be concerned by it. Would you be concerned if you saw some neo-nazi dudes hanging out at your local 7-11? They'll say that it's not about hate, just they like WWII Germany and the historical side of it so it's okay to wear swastikas. German did it right man... after the war they made it illegal to have swastikas on anything. Again, I'm not offended by the Civil War historical part of the Stars and Bars, but the fact that it was adopted as the flag for the KKK... come on. Maybe you guys in the south should rise up against the KKK and make them change their flag so your heritage symbol isn't one of hatred. But please stop acting like nobody should have anything to say about it. I get that all the time in Richmond and I debate those guys for hours about it. They keep w/the same old "historical" theme in the debate till they finally get frustrated and throw out the N word a few times and my case is at rest.

Here's a good arguement. Think Black Panthers. Would it be okay for a bunch of black people to have flags, stickers, shirts w/Black Panthers on them and possibly a gun rack or two in their car? Would you be concerned for your safety? What about an Iraqi Fahadeen flag? Don't say it doesn't count cause it's not this country because the people that fly the Stars and Bars still seem to think the South Will Rise Again and consider themselves seperate from the Union.

PS - The war is over, y'all lost.

You watch too much T.V. Either that or you've never actually met someone from the south. There may be a couple hundred numbnuts who actually think the south is going to rise again. They are probably all related. Closely. Does that fit the picture? Call their Uncle "Pa". That's actually funny you think that. It's amazing how a few idiots make an entire geographical region look like backwards cave men.
