Florida Man Is Told To Take Down Her Blue Lives Matter flag Honoring Her Ex-Cop Father Because Homeowners' Association Considers It 'Racist'
[quote]A retired law enforcement officer from Florida says for many years, his daughter has flown a Blue Lives Matter flag outside her home.
But recently the woman got a letter from her homeowners' association in St Johns County demanding that she take down the banner because it has been deemed [b]racist[/b]and offensive.
Jeff Gaddie, the woman's father, says the flag at the center of the controversy was meant to honor him and other family members working in law enforcement.[/quote]

5 RepliesOn a smaller scale, it reminds me of the controversy about the Confederate battle flag. To many, it represents a culture of fighting heavyhanded government, state values, southern pride, etc., and to others it represents racism or even treason against American values. If you try to tell someone that their symbol means something other than what they say it does, you're probably a conceited prick. HOAs are, for the most part, a cancer on society and you should actively refuse to participate in one.
