NQAS (10,074 posts)Another black flag in the neighborhoodThree houses down. Warning signs - literally, warning signs - all over the place re cameras, armed to the teeth, don't call 911.Good to know, I guess. I suppose when I put up my Everyone Welcome Here sign, I'll have to add a line, Except that guy down the street. (And, no, I don't put up signs. Safer that way.) What a shame the way our country is changing. On a really, really broad scale, and I really don't mean to be a downer, but I don't see any way that we step back from the brink of the abyss.https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216106466
In one troubling new development, Trump supporters have begun flying all-black American flags, in an implicit threat to harm or kill their opponents — meaning nonwhite people, "socialist liberals," Muslims, vaccinated people and others deemed to be "enemies" of "real America."
I did not know what the panic with a black flag was about so I googled it.Uhhhh....ok. https://www.salon.com/2021/10/12/black-flag-understanding-the-trumpists-latest-threatening-symbol/https://livingbluetx.com/2021/09/domestic-terrorist-next-door/?cn-reloaded=1There is a whole lot of crazy at those two links so do not say I did not warn you.
Both claim TikToc as their primary source of information. That's some hard hitting journalism. My Texas History curriculum has stuff saying Santa Anna flew a black flag for "no quarter given" at the Alamo. DDG for confirmation (which mostly claims it was a red flag, not black), stumbled across this. Most of the "I'm flying one cause I'm ready to fight the new revolution" posts sound like moles, frankly. https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/-ARCHIVED-THREAD-What-is-with-the-all-black-American-flag-/5-2479857/?page=1Did steal this useful pic from the thread though.
