    It means something else to those who fly them, generally speaking. Think Dukes of Hazzard more than Slavery.

    Not saying its right, but thats how they see it.

      I don’t think that’s anywhere close to universally true but even if it is that’s only one more example of why we should never listen to those kinds of people. That opinion is dumb, inaccurate, shallow, and more than a little white-washed.

        No, it’s actually true that a lot of people don’t really think it through. I personally talked a friend out of flying it by appealing to how it might make others feel. It honestly hadn’t really occurred to him. Now granted, said friend is semi-literate at best, but he is a genuinely kind and decent human being who just didn’t know anything else.
