[h=1]Blue Lives Matter flag deemed 'racist,' ordered to come down[/h]
A Florida woman is being told to take down her Blue Lives Matter flag that's been flying for several years now by her homeowners association.

Jeff Gaddie told Action News Jacksonville that his daughter in St. Johns County has been flying the flag to honor him and many other family members who are law enforcement.


"She called to ask why," Gaddie said. "They told her they had received a complaint that it was considered racist, offensive and anti-Black Lives Matter,” he said.

The association asked the woman, who did not want to be identified for fear of backlash, to submit a request for permission to fly the flag, which has since been denied.

Action News Jacksonville reached out to the First Coast Association Management, which said only American and military-themed flags are allowed to fly in the neighborhood, even though there are other types of flags flying.

Gaddie says the flag is only a show of support and the family is planning to appeal the decision at the next homeowner's association meeting.

If you find a blue lives matter flag racist doesn't that make you a culturalist? Or an institutionist? At least something that entitles you to be told to go fuck yourself...

 

[Tucker301]

The great irony here is that Black Lives Matter actually refers explicitly to a specific race, while Blue Lives Matter of course, does not.
I agree on never living in a place that dictates what you can and cannot do with and on your own property. Shove your covenant so far up your ass you can taste it.

What the FUCK is wrong with these people?

Some people will give up everything to have the address, ie suck dick & swallow at work, to down right being a slave to live what they perceive as being the American dream. Hope they don't stop though, as many meaningless jobs depend on their perception to keep the game rolling along.

 

[oneshot86]

some people just dont have enough to do in the day to be starting this shit...

While I agree with your sentiment, even where you live you will find that someone else does have some say over what you do. Try to put up a uranium refining plant, or facility for manufacturing toxic lithium. You will find out quickly how little rights you have. Or if 'They' want it for a pipeline route...step aside.

Sad, but true.

 

[Tucker301]

Yeah, well, there is a bit of daylight between a flag and a uranium plant, and based on the monetary rewards I've heard from other locals, they are welcomed to put a pipeline, powerline (great for hunting), or a cell tower on my place (typically exceeds mortgage payment).

 

[oneshot86]

im thinking a little bit of daylight

Local gun club has a cell tower on the property.......literally covers all of the expenses of the club.....dues are cheap and all of them go towards upgrading the facilties.

rI wasnt debating that, just that you have less control over 'Whats yours" tan you might think.

[Maggot]

Well of course Im right. thanks.

 

[Gunfighter14e2]

Hear an see this same kind of B/S on the Ham radio Forums. Then when you ask them how they past any written test they get offended, what really pisses them off is when you ask if they are in a habit of signing their name w/o reading before hand. Fuck them, all they seen was the address and gated entry, they deserve the denial of every everything they signed away/for. Much like agreeing to or signing/voting away ones freedom, they deserve everything there after.

 

[Rthur]

Capt. Oblivious says.
Just because you think or want something to be racist doesn't make it so.
The american flag with a blue line added is not a race.
In fact it isn't animate.
These would seem to be simple concepts...

[j-huskey]

They keep getting away with this shit because no one stands up to them and there is no cost associated with it to the liberal fucktards who keep pushing this shit on us. Like when a MOH winner is forced to take his American flag down because of his hoa. I'm still pissed about that. It's time for things like dark web to visit those fucktards in spades. It's time for a silent majority person to take one for the rest of the team...... There "are" places left in the country where that shit doesn't happen because some people still have a set of balls. Most of liberal fucktard areas of Florida are ball free. Ive got enough friends still stuck there who want out really bad. And some of my cracker friends who still live in less urban areas say there is still some "good" Florida left. So, it comes down to a choice, live ball free and suck a lot, or proudly wear the cracker shirt and tell the ball cutters to fuck off. At some point when enough people stand up.....

With a side of extra hypocrisy to go please. Anyone want to bet that at least one of the other types of flags flying is a BLM flag? Well, let's see, "We are the management company so we will apply the rules as we see fit on Mooniedays and Satansdays. But you signed the covenant so it's all on you.

Nope, usually it means you spend your time on the wrong side of the law.

Blue Lives Matter flag is racist? How about drinking milk?

Great thread!

I like the Blue lives matter movement because the LEO folks are both more appreciated and remembered for their sacrifices and duty, rather than just the incredible burden of 2nd guessing and Monday morning QB acrimony they so often deal with, by everybody, and all for very little pay for the risks they take.

That said, the HOA rules so eagerly embraced by the b people who move into those types of communities are ripe for abuse and very subjective, elastic, interpretation by the petit tyrants who run them.

No thanks!

Here's the racist flag in question.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

For the far out-there Social Justice Warriors, this has nothing to do with what is or is not racist. It has to do with destroying any vestige of traditional values or morals or historical principles, in order to build and shape the new, Utiopian progressive society from the ground up. It's fantasy and it's annoying as hell when they put this crap into' practice, by claiming "racist" or "Nazi" or "Homophobe" at anyone who doesn't want to join their movement.

All very harmless until a tipping point is reached... and our little Utopian "Four legs good, two legs better" types exterminate 30 million Kulaks or decide to go all Pol Pot on the society that they want to reshape. Because in practice, if not in theory, that is where all of these societies have ended up...

Welcome to Cambodia....

Funny, historically, it has always started with little things...

Here's the racist flag in question.

Actually, according to the United States Flag Code they are violating proper flag etiquette by altering the flag .

• The flag should never have any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind placed on it or attached to it.

Its in the long list below near the bottom.

i dont want to be a dick, but i dont like the flag altered, good initiative, bad judgement...
great cause, dont get me wrong, please dont...

Response.

 

[Steel+Killer]

Those fucking HOAs don't mean shit all they can do is send a home owner notices or what they call fines that aren't backed by any official government. The only course of action they really have is to sue you in civil court let it go to a jury trial and if it actually made it that far and that is a big fucking if I highly doubt a jury would see it there way. If more people would just say "FUCK YOU SUE ME" instead of just bowing down like sheep this shit would end!

 

[Maggot]

Response.

Thats pretty respectful I would say, and not unreasonable. Especially since they are technically 'defacing' the flag.

 

[Gunfighter14e2]

Easier way is not move/live there in the first place.
Never herd/seen or known of a HOA that had stand up people in the first place.

 

[oneshot86]

respectful yes, but there are no identifing marks nor a signature, i hope it is legit...
why no letterhead why no ownership of auther...

 

[lash]

I agree. It seems highly suspect that any corporation would release a "letter" defining their view without the proper letterhead and a signature. This seems more like someone defending the decision without actual authority to do so. Unless someone can provide authentication?

 

[Maggot]

Good point

 

[Tucker301]

Their response was likely crafted by their legal representation and PR department, and it smells like bullshit.
Every law and every rule can be enforced with some common sense and leniency, if they choose to do so. I think somebody pissed and moaned about the flag and they found a rule they could use to get the pisser and moaner out of their ear. Period.

What Sir wrote is dead on. It's a fucking tactic.
Did you see where the left was having a cow over Bill O'Reily said about Maxine Waters' wig?
He said it looked like James Brown's wig, and it does. But they jumped his shit and called him a racist.

So I need to sign up for rules updates or something because apparently now you can tell one black person that they resemble another black person, because ...

 

[oneshot86]

thats because it has caused whitey to back up for many many years...he who smelt it, delt it...who is really the racist...

 

[Maser]

And yet Black Standard Jihadist flags are allowed to be flown no questions asked.

Then again this is FL we're talking about. Not a very bright bunch of people down in the dick shaped state.

Hey!! I resemble that remark!

This comment's coming from from someone who calls Californicate home. Way to broad brush a situation. Good thing you're on the side of reason and understanding... (Roll eyes)...

The term is "resent" not "resemble"

Thanks for proving FL as a stupidity state.

You obviously don't get humor and sarcasm, so I'll leave you playing in the sandbox whilst I get me some vittles.

Epic Fail.

He meant, jokingly, "Hey, I'm kind of offended by what you said, but I kind of agree at the same time". A duality, if you will, mixed with self-deprecation that requires both humility and a sense of humor.

"Play on words"- is a literary technique and a form of wit in which the words that are used become the main subject of the work, primarily for the purpose of intended effect or amusement.
