That flag initially was created to represent police -- the Thin Blue Line -- and has been used by Blue Lives Matter organizations, a pro-law enforcement movement created in response to Black Lives Matter. But it also has popped up in white nationalist imagery and events, including the violent August 2017 marches in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Obviously an important development.

“Containing image used by white nationalists, Mount Prospect sticker sparks controversy”

Let me guess: maybe a picture of Ralph Northam?

Fake news. If the thin blue line flag has been used in this manner, is because it was used as a false flag.

“White Nationalist” is a made up term used to describe any White person who is is conservative.

I don’t think it has any real meaning at all.

What’s wrong with the thin blue line flag?

Has supporting the police become a wrong?

Same here. If called a racist,
I will respond, “So what?”

It’s really far past time for some mainstream Republicans to get on national tv and tell these kooks to kiss off in no uncertain terms.

This is Atlas Shrugged. They are working on criminalizing everything. We shouldn’t defend or justify ourselves, simply say “you are nuts, shut up and kiss our asses”.

Just assume your existence offends them and dont worry about the specifics why. I dont care anymore. They are all hypocrites crying wolf and staging fake crimes of all sorts because there are no real crimes being done to any of them. And attention whores gotta get attention.

Another attempt to shame and immobilize whites. Any symbol whites adopt will be labeled by the left as racist, white supremacist, etc. People need to get over this tactic of the left.

Looks OK and all that, but “It’s got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It’s got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It’s a model made before catalytic converters so it’ll run good on regular gas.”

My only association With Mount Prospect?
And the cigarette lighter doesn’t work.

NY Times resident black racist Charles Blow has started an interesting twitter thread: #ThereIsNoMiddleGround:

Charles M. Blow ‏Verified account @CharlesMBlow Feb 3

If you still ignore, support or defend Trump’s racism at this point, you too are a racist.

I don’t care if you are a cheerful grandma who bakes cookies for the children’s Sunday school class.

You too!

The Left is doubling down. You are either 100% with them, in all aspects of the agenda, or you will be attacked as a racist.

I think this may result in more moderate white Democrats responding with #WalkAway

It might be productive to show that thread to any left-of-center acquaintances FReepers might have

I’d give you the OK sign for that post. Except the racists and the social justice warriors consider that a white supremacist sign as well. Oh well.

Got to love the Mayor’s response. She says anyone offended can cut off the part of the sticker they don’t like.

Does anyone know what aspect of the sticker is considered a problem by some? I don’t see the usual symbols of White Supremacy, like the blackface and Klan outfits the leading Democrats all wear. Somebody is scraping the bottom of the old grievance barrel.

Yep. You hit the nail on the head.

And if we’re so bad, why would you want our money?

Stop taking food stamps and housing and a million other things that are paid for by “white nationalists”

Show some dignity.
