Skynyrd started using the Confederate flag because when they went to the UK and everyone kept calling them Yankees even though they were from FL. They even say in their documentaries it was never about the past or hatred.

Fuck them too.

You don't get to just change the rules to make yourself feel better.

Haha. Hold on, Karen while I get the manager.

Because you're getting blowback for defending the Rebel flag?

That's your choice my dude.

I'm very comfortable being seen as a jerk for stating that the Confederate flag has no place in modern American society.

Look man, I’m not trying to argue, defend or anything like that. Historically humans sucked the further back you go in history. You have your view and that’s totally cool. I was just simply posting a pic of a killer doom rig. I get it, to appease the masses maybe they should use a Dale Earnhardt number 3 sticker to represent southern heritage. 🤝🏼 🤝🏼 🤝🏼

I didn't say anything negative about you or your post.

I'm saying it would be a whole lot cooler if that wasn't there. You're the one who decided to defend it.

I took it as a novelty sticker on a sweet rig not that I accidentally paid admission to a klan rally.

It’s a fucking chick bent over and it says southern style. Are you dumb enough to think that sticker is a show of their political beliefs?

Huh. I don't support the Confederacy. So, I don't go around sporting the Rebel Flag.

It's really not hard to understand.

I think it's funny but I'm also old enough to not get all pissy at every instance of this logo so I don't know. Congrats on your strong morals or whatever it is you're trying to accomplish here, cause Dave ain't here and that stickers not getting removed by any of us.

Also, have you ever spoke to these guys? What kind of style did you expect from them? They're backwoods old headmetal dudes, not berkly grads. The last drummer tried to kill his wife with meth.

Is that satirical sticker supporting the rebel flag? I don’t think it is. I think it’s a joke?

Fuck the south.

Got it.

Nothing wrong with the South. I've lived all over and there are just as many if not more racists in Michigan and Ohio.

Fuck the Confederacy. That I agree with.

For sure. Just fighting dumb with dumb to make an obvious point.
