Seriously. I know you folks who aren't from the northern US probably won't fully understand this (look up the American Civil War on Wikipedia). But to me, proudly displaying the Confederate flag when you live in Michigan...you might as well just hang a banner from your window that says, "A racist jackass lives in this house."

He probably thinks he's a badass, though. I'd like to see what happens to him if he waved that flag around in southwest Detroit.
I have a funny confederate flag story for you;

I live in Idaho, right on the WA border in a town called Lewiston, nice place and usually everyone is pretty friendly, strangers will help you out in a bind etc.

Last summer, a group of high schoolers thought it'd be awesome to drive around the streets with a bunch of them in the back of their pickup, one holding a very large confederate flag. They'd been circling the town (I'd seen them pass my house like 3 times that day) so I felt like they were just doing it to be seen, the kids in the back looked all smug as they waved their pretty little flag, they were all sat on the sides of the pickup so they couldn't be missed.
They started making their 4th pass past my house when a dog ran into the road suddenly from over the other side of the street, the driver slammed on the brakes and the flag holder went arse-over-tit and fell out of the truck, landing pretty hard on the concrete below. Sadly the kid wasn't too hurt e_e haha, he could get up just fine though he looked a little scraped and dazed. Usually when something like that happens here, people swarm you, will pick you up, make sure you're alright but no one wanted to help the little flagdouche, they drove past him, some honking madly, others laughing at his dose of karma.

Moral of the story; tuck away your confederate flag, it doesn't look cool. Karma is a beeeeeech.

Never did see them driving around town with their flag after that. . .
