> Ms. Urena-Ravelo, who represents a group that specializes in overt intentional racism and intimidation, told television station WOOD that the students intended to be racist.

Holy cow. Truly unbelievable.

How in the world is the Betsy Ross flag “racist”?

And Donald Trump has plenty of supporters of all different races. In fact, they are called “Americans.”

BLM has truly become unhinged.

Some people just need to be slapped up.

And slapped up good.

I am no longer interested in polite, reasonable dialogue with these people. It’s a Culture War. They need to lose They need to be ground into the dust. No half measures. It’s Us or Them.

Ahhhh Shut Up! We’re so sick of hearing the same BS come out of your attention seeking whore mouths. As predictable as Al Sharpton arriving at a #BLM with his donations table ready to go...

The Flag symbolizes Liberty and Strength.

And

Betsy Ross had nothing to do with the flag despite a poor history lesson to the contrary

“To wave a historical version of our flag, that to some symbolizes exclusion and hate, injects hostility and confusion to an event where no one intended to do so,” wrote Forest Hills Public Schools Superintendent Daniel Behm in a letter to parents.


The only question is do we need a small, medium, or large order of tar and feathers for Behm.

Being tarred and feathered needs to make a comeback.

With all due respect, the solution is not to name call. The solution is to refute an obviously weak argument. Their whole premise is wrong not only from a historical perspective but also from today's perspective. There is no such thing as 'white privilege". Blacks and other minorities are not being oppressed. There is no such thing (anymore) as institutional racism. We need to make those arguments and do so while not being afraid of being called racist. That is something we should never fear.

Once we make our case, then and only then...we can start to call them names.

“You can’t deny the overt, intentional racism and intimidation,” said Briana Urena-Ravelo, co-founder of the Grand Rapids Black Lives Matter group.”

Oh yes we can you moron. The Betsy Ross flag has nothing to do with racism unless they had a crystal ball and could foresee people like you.
BLM setting America back decades.

BLM are useful idiots for the Marxist takeover. It is part of a plan.

Sounds like “Superintendent Behm needs to go to work for Black Lives Matter where he will feel more comfortable and submissive. Hopefully, locals will push back against his grovelling before the Leftist PC mandate.

If shouts of “USA” and the Betsy Ross flag are “hate” to black Americans, then I guess the White Supremacists have been right all along.
