  • American flag 'symbol of hatred'

    In a fiery Fourth of July Facebook post, Utah’s Black Lives Matter Chapter declared the American flag "a symbol of hatred."

    "When we Black Americans see this flag we know the person flying it is not safe to be around," the post reads. "When we see this flag we know the person flying it is a racist. When we see this flag we know that the person flying it lives in a different America than we do. When we see this flag, we question your intelligence. We know to avoid you. It is a symbol of hatred."

    I think by that they mean "when we far left Marxist BLM Black Americans see this flag". Like, pretty much most of the black folks I've ever known dont hold such a view and indeed proudly fly the flag (hell, when I lived in Florida I knew several Black Americans who flew the Confederate Flag)

      NY Times hit by critics, lawmakers for suggesting US flag is now 'alienating to some': 'Disgusting'

      The New York Times was ripped on Saturday for publishing a piece that suggested the American flag has become a symbol of divisiveness.

      "Today, flying the American flag from the back of a pickup truck or over a lawn is increasingly seen as a clue, albeit an imperfect one, to a person’s political affiliation in a deeply divided nation," the Times tweeted on Saturday, with a link to their piece, "A Fourth of July Symbol of Unity That May No Longer Unite."

        This attitude has been building ever since former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick said that the original "Betsy Ross" flag was a symbol of racism that he found offensive (remember when he kept pretending how he was never protesting the flag and liberal stooges kept parroting the line) forcing Nike to scrap an entire line of shoes.

          I guess we need a new flag...

            Might as well since we now seem to have separate national anthems.

              The Irony here is basically they are saying:

              We've seen examples where people who fly this flag have been racist, therefore all who fly it must be racist.

              Imagine someone judging everyone who had...say...low hanging pants, or do-rags, etc by that same sort of logic.

                  I've never been one to express huge enthusiasm for the flag like most on the right. I've always been indifferent about it. But it is a very strange time we're in when I have think twice about wearing a shirt with an American flag on it and the possibility I'll get into a fight because of it and end up in jail. I've actually had to contemplate this. I was thinking of buying a shirt with a flag on it just in defiance of the left's hatred of it, and I had to weigh in my mind the cost of that. I'm not at all worried about the fight part (because I can easily defend myself), just the going to jail part

                      Nah, me being 6'4 and psychically fit, I'm not worried about the fight. Being how sissified leftists are I doubt they'd attack me that way, unless it were a mob. Worse case scenario I think is one these unhinged SJW loons spits on me or something like that. If that happened, I honestly can't say, depending on the day I was having I guess, if I would or wouldn't react violently. I hope I wouldn't, but impulse control can be a thing. If I did react just out of impulse, obviously I'd go the jail.

                            My problem is that I remember how to do all sorts of stuff, but the execution of it has a lot to be desired. Still, I can handle myself if need be. I just don't want "need be" to ever arise.

                              right - I still hit like a truck, but my breathing has a lot to be desired...
