Re: A gate for all the southerners out there

As long as its a southern pride thing i dont see a big deal about it. Most of us are proud of where we come from. There is no racial overtones in that and its better air brush work than most of us could do.. I like it ALOT id love to see the rest of the truck

Re: A gate for all the southerners out there

I like it and it's just southern pride. Some people just can't see the difference in southern pride and racial symbolism

Re: A gate for all the southerners out there

for a lot of people the confederate flag, or sometimes known as the "rebel flag", is used as a symbol of rebellion, because the southern states rebelled against the union trying to make their own country. I'm a northerner and I completely get it.

oh and got a link to that truck? looks nice

there are people that know history and those that don't.. You obviously do.

the war was over southern states not getting fair treatment in in the government, unless my history teachers have all lied to me?

Re: A gate for all the southerners out there

I beleive in this part of Tennessee most people that "fly" the confederate flag do so as "white" pride kinda thing not a southern pride thing . might be differant in other southern area's . as far as the truck the art work really good , a lot of tallent ! a bit much for my taste though .

Re: A gate for all the southerners out there

I aint a racist man, but for laughs over the summer, me and my friend had the bright idea to put a rebel flag on a pole and mount in the back of my truck. We drove it through the black side of Hartselle, Al. My truck aint ever been pushed so hard to get out of town that day. Im lucky I didnt have any bullet holes in me. Never agian.

Re: A gate for all the southerners out there

Very very nice paint work! I think it needs some bigger tires but I am still impressed by the looks of that work. And I have personally sat in on classes with the world's best air-brushers. Very nice!

Re: A gate for all the southerners out there

That is some nice air brushing skills. Down here its taken as a sign of racialism. lol its funny cause alot of the ones that sport the rebel flag probally dont even know the history of it.lol. I do like the truck just without all the airbrushing.

Re: A gate for all the southerners out there

maybe everyone needs to go back and look at that tailgate. that is not a rebel flag. any way i think we would be wise and better of to just talk trucks. some thing we all have in common.
