1. Is that like one of those III percenters symbols, without the III?

4. Come on, it's just "heritage." A heritage of hatred.

5. My neighbors were flying a funky flag with stars

That are in the shape of a star.hope they fly the Betsy Ross. It would make the case to prove the odd grabfest that has been going on in my neighborhood is based on racism and an attempt by white supremacists to create an insular society.

6. Too bad

I won't let them take this away from us. I love this beautiful flag and will continue to display it. The racists can have the Nazi flag, because this one is ours.

7. Go back to your daddy's mansion, Kid. Don't come out.

We don't need your "music," and we damn sure don't need your shitty politics.

8. I'm gonna guess that it's there

not because it's just a nice historical flag,

nor because a handful of skinheads used it, as one of many flags, and we define others by the worst among them,

but because "we" decided that since a few skinheads used it that must be its One True Eternal Meaning and as a result everybody who has ever used it, however they may have deluded themselves at the time, is automatically both a racist and inferior to us

and because he really likes tweaking "our" noses.
