HUGE Confederate flag on Alabama Interstate-65

Alabama: Reinforcing the stereotypes beset against us since 1901.

To answer the question of who put it up, the sign reads: "Property of - Alabama Division - Sons of Confederate Veterans"

Yes, I have an opinion. No, I won't tell you, I think that'd skew the debate. I'd rather watch y'all duke it out while I drink a beer.

2 1/2 year update after I posted this:
I think it's telling that this is the most commented-on video I have, considering I now have videos with 30x the views.

Long live the Confederacy! \m/

@skeetv123 Yet they continue to fly it in British Columbia & Saskatchewan. They fly it in France as well. New Yorkers display it prominently in "upstate" NY. Our humble battle flag has become a universal symbol of defiance against tyranny. Deo Vindice!

@Microglia1 The symbol of hate brought your people to this hemisphere as they were tied in chains on a yankee slave trader ship, they observed the US Stars & Stripes over head on the ship's mast. The Confederate Battle Flag is against yankee tyranny. You should fly it too.

@Spiritree41 It defies yankee tyranny. The more it upsets them the better. If it does nothing else that is enough.

@RKLIPQQ Then you should know that this flag is comparable to the flag of Quebec, that if central authorities in Ottawa suppressed their flag & other means of French identity & expression there would be hell to pay.

@Cionaodh57 IM FROM CANADA WHY DONT YOU PEOPLE NOTICE THAT! >:( I dont know SHIT about America XD

[Cionaodh57]

@RKLIPQQ right, and you're not.... If you're from the north, especially MA, OH, IL, OR and many others, your states enacted specific laws to keep blacks out. Hypocrite!

That's a beautiful sight!!! Look at Washington today still full of crooks, thieves and lair's as it was in the 1860's. I say let's do it again boys!!

*shakes head* The Civil War was not fought over slavery, people. It was about the right of states to secede from the Union. Know your own history, people.

It's funny but once I cross the Mason Dixon line into the North, I met more racists than I ever had in the South.

@RKLIPQQ The war was never on racism. And you call US ignorant... geesh...
