I've heard  those arguments all my life.  Those arguments didn't reflect my personal observations as a kid growing up with segregated schools in my Oklahoma hometown, and they still don't say anything different today.  The stars and bars to me is a racist symbol. And the people I know today that fly it  in Oklahoma and Texas are some of the most hardcore white supremacists out there.

Yes, it was  the battle flag for a failed government. And today it's rallying symbol today for people that haven't got the news that the war is over, and the south lost.

What this has to do with the topic of Shelby's in foreign lands, I really don't know.

We totally agree with you this discussion does not belong in a Shelby forum.  We just replied to your remarks attached.
Adios and gracias.


Cool photo( don’t know about the”stars and bars”in background though)....

understand, but good or bad its American history

having lived and traveled in the South and Southwest USA most of my life, my observations of and conversations with the "stars and bars" crowd tell me that they are not trying to give a history lesson. But rather are voicing their desires to BRING BACK the days of Jim Crow at the least, and many openly are supportive of the slavery days.  Without getting too political, it's no secret to say that the current atmosphere has emboldened the white supremacy extremists to be more vocal and more visible.

Tony,

If you are talking about the cars they appear to be Nightmist blue in the picture. And, what is up with the radio antennas? Just doesn't look right!

Funny the Euros seem to like their cars to look like our 4 wheelers state side. They didn't get the memo that lowering  them 4-6 inches will enhance the performance car experience. :-[
