Oh, I agree, whoever made that "lynched by black people" comment needs to be assigned a "forum buddy" to proof whatever they want to post and hit them with a stick if needs be.
Again, people decide what symbols mean. Here the majority typically wins, simply as a matter of simplicity, but this case does not have a very clear majority. There are a lot of southerners who do still put up the Confederate flag because they take it to represent their belief in the power of the state, or whatever. So if you don't think "racist" when you see a confederate flag, that's fine, I'm not going to try and convince you otherwise, just keep in mind that this is an area VERY open to interpretation.
I do believe that the bumper sticker in question was intended to mean "kill all islamics." The phrase it's a take off of, "kill them all and let God sort them out," means "Massacre the lot of them, friend or foe, we don't care." So the driver of the car was, in all likelyhood, a racist fuck.
i couldnt believe it

I agree. I was just playing devil's advocate.

Not to spread the fire on this issue, but, if this was a "racial" issue, why would a white man believe that Allah would sort "them" out? Wouldn't that go against the "racist" belief in all white Christianity where God would be the one judging? Wouldn't it be God sorting them out not Allah? Unless this truck driving racist individual happens to believe in Allah which...would be kind of odd....
It was, as stated before, most likely a racist fuck. Very few intelligent people are racist and strut it about like that, so he was more likely a moron than anything else, and thought he was all clever and funny.
You can't go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world for people. Otherwise it's just a cage.
