Did most not ever realize that...


That evil racist confederate flag was used as the front license plate on the Bandits Trans Am. How many of you loved this movie growing up and had no idea that you were also a racist? I definitely did and a perfect example of institutionalized racism. I have since asked for forgiveness and support full reparations to the black community. However white guilt will forever taint my life

Oh poor you!
Get a grip

"...and had no idea that you were also a racist?"


I honestly don't know if you're trolling, confused, mentally divergent, ignorant of just plain stupid.

I'm not racist.
Liking this movie doesn't make me racist.
And if I flew the Confederate flag (which I don't), that wouldn't make me racist either.

Clearly, you don't know the full history and meaning behind the flag. And even thou it's used by racist extremists, it is not necessarily a flag of racism. A little research would teach you that. Granted, that's the general perception of the flag, no argument here.

Regardless, just because there is a "racist" flag in a movie, does not make anyone who enjoys said movie a racist. That's just hogwash. If your disagree, then by all means, please explain to me how enjoying this movie makes me and all the other fans racist.

Ìt's easy to see the opening post is just a sarcastic, almost satirical take on how crazy people have become these days.

However, it's scary that it looks so 'normal' these days, that people actually thought it was a seriously written post.

Which means people have become crazier than the original poster assumed.

Yes indeed

To a certain group, this post does look normal. And that group consists of people who would think such a post WOULD be normal, but actually isn't.
