It's crazy how many black people I see with this sticker.

I've noticed that as well and I'm of the opinion that it's half people who actually feel they're oppressed and the other half are trying to seem less threatening to police.

I can confirm I got pulled over way less when my car came with a police union sticker shadow I couldn't remove, and when I was their demeanor changed when they approached the vehicle from behind.

Black people aren't allowed to like the Gadsen? Why?

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Because it's been adopted by the conservatives. Sucks because it's an awesome flag. Now it's basically a "Try that in a small town" sticker.

It's a visual representation of support for conservative bullshit. People who don't support that nonsense shouldn't use their symbols because it makes it seem like those ideas have more support than they actually do, which emboldens conservatives.

Just because people you disagree with also like a flag doesn't make it bad?

That flag is American as hell.

Also, there's lots of black conservatives?
