It basically carries the same connotation as "go back to africa" remarks. Arguably not racist per se, but for reasons easily figured nearly always said by racists/conservatives.
It may have racist connotations to some, but it could also mean something like, "If I knew we would lose the war and be run by the North (liberals/Obama etc.), then I would have released the slaves and picked my own cotton". I guess its popular because no one knows what "this" is, so they put whatever grievance they have as the "this" in their mind.
This is why I have no bumper stickers on my car, because people see what they want in them.
Could be, I suppose, seems likely that's it, but it doesn't seem apparent just reading it. Must be a quote or something that a certain region would be aware of or something.
Oh, then I have another one" What do you say about spreaders of old wive's tales?That they're proctologists?
Bleh. IMO the South won the civil war, since they got to stay in the Union. I bet if you could find a competent medium and get in touch with Abe, assuming he hasn't decided to reincarnate since then, a few hours of her telling him what's happened since them would change his mind on keeping the South.
I'm confused about your confusion. The meaning of it seems crystal clear me. First of all, it displays a confederate flag. What do we generally know about people who display confederate flags in the 21st century? Then there's what is says, which seems pretty obvious me to. YMMV I guess.
Getting some is getting some?Oh, then I have another one" What do you say about spreaders of old wive's tails?
I was sure that when she said we rewarded a "gropey perv" once before for higher office, they'd show a pic of Bill Clinton, but apparently we have pretty short memories these days. That said, jeez, what a creep this Johnnie Caldwell character is. I'd rather think of him as an outlier. Please, let him be an outlier, lol.Insight into southern conservatism in a nutshell:
Presumably the car belonged to one of them good ol boys.
Doesn't really explain it to me.
No, the correct answer is "gynecologists."Getting some is getting some?
That's a pretty shitty thing to have on your truck.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bm5qefIIcAA2wGz.png
He sported a goatee and cheap walmart shades and cigarettes all over his dashboard as if they were battle tokens.
I wonder why people still think its ok to be overt monsters. I can understand being racist on the inside, what makes him think running around acting like a moran is a smart idea?
It reminded me of an incident at Hooters back in 2010, when 2 black dudes walked in and sat at the bar. A white guy sitting there asked the waitress if she was gonna serve their kind. I don't recall the exact words but he ended up throwing a fistful of change at her and storming out.
Was hoping in 7 years the residents of Manassas would have made a bit of progress.
But then it occurred to me we are knee deep in the 21st century and they still haven't joined civilized society, so I guess I'm asking too much.
On an unrelated note, I dont like this place much even though I'm white. Northern Virginia has the rudest, meanest, angriest, most hostile human beings I've ever met. And I've lived all over the world.
If someone would give me a damn job I'd leave this place in less than 24 hours.

Other 5% is he's been writing in David Duke every election since 1988?95% chance this guy is a Trump supporter
That they chose to be a proctologist?You know what they say about people who meet assholes all day long.
@shortylickens , instead of characterizing this fellow as an "overt monster," perhaps this sticker with its admission of regret could serve a conversation starter. Would they have picked their own cotton? Could they have, seeing as it was highly labor intensive? How does such a sentiment relate to feelings about race relationships in today's society? Sadly, these conversations are absent in our self-created online echo chambers; this will ultimately be to our serious detriment, if not undoing.
Taking my post literally misses the point, but don't let me get in the way of your hatred.Yes I'm sure thats the reason people stick words on their cars, so they can have conversations. Perhaps we could have rolled down our windows and screamed at each other whilst driving 45 miles per hour down a packed four lane road.
That's good.I don't get it.
That's a good way to get shot.

Thanks for letting me know, stupid ain't fixable, but I will try to work on the cute part!OH god damn you are stupid!
And not in a cute way either, like Donald.
