RE: Is the American flag racist?
One thing that I find interesting is going to international soccer or rugby matches and seeing the fans wearing their countries' flags. Many wear them in ways that are frowned upon here, but they consider that to be a strong show of patriotism. I wish we played more international sports instead of being, in the words of an Aussie friend, "world champions of every sport that nobody but you play."

RE: Is the American flag racist?
Dumb Schiffs...these idiots Liberals, by their own admission believe the American flag symbolizes the Republican Party. If they think that it's because the Demons couldn't care less about our nation and would believe if they waved the flag that it would be contrary to their values, which are values that only Demons cherish. Young people are so ignorant and...stupid.
They're like those immigrants that come to the US and proudly proclaim allegiance to the country they left but are perfectly happy enriching themselves with American jobs and American "dollahs". My dad who himself was an immigrant used to get fighting mad at these idiots. He would tell them if you're so proud of your country why didn't you stay there?
It's hard not to hate when you see idiots like these...but I'm trying.

Is the American flag racist?
There has been very little that has done more to make this the UNITED States than that which has been done in the pursuit of our Flag. The idea, ideal it represents (not the cloth of RWB, (idjits).
The single or double best integration tools ever in this once great nation?
War (our military) and sports at ALL levels. Boys, girls, men and women.
I’m not quite old enough to have “been there”, but old enough to remember.
Vietnam likely did more to integrate society and build bonds between people who would otherwise never given the time of day, both ways, and the emergence of college and professional sports on TV etc., that forced, by nature, those in charge to look beyond immutable characteristics like skin color and make decisions based solely on merit.
The very foundation of MLK’s dream.
Now? In one short cup-O-Joe these SJW idiots will throw away generations of progress to accuse others of things they’ve never done, would never conceive of doing and would openly object to if seeing it happen in front of them.
We’re just one generation away folks, we could lose it all.
Keep up the good fight.
