Yeah, just try putting one on your car and drive through Detroit and see what that gets ya.

It's no different than a German girl wearing a Nazi-flag dress saying, "My grandfather was in the SS. This is part of my family's pride!"

Freedom of expression gets you so far. Yeah, you could twist the subject in such a way to try and convince people it's a "pride" thing, but deal with whatever consequences arise from it if that's how you're gonna take it!

Someone could wear a KKK uniform to an NAACP rally, but they do need to sit back and ask themselves, "Is this a smart thing to do?"
