That's a big difference then the way the Confederate flag has been used by white power elements.

You are jumping to conclusions here. The flag belonged to the family of the guy who wielded it.
Big difference re the Confederate flag? Well, it's true I'm not aware of any Confederate flags used to bop people. Perhaps you'd be interested in a description of other uses of the Stars and Stripes in those Boston demonstrations, that is when the protestors weren't throwing rocks and bottles at black kids.
They waved, not burned, American flags during nearly every demonstration. They consistently invoked the tradition of American liberty in their fight to retain it. Unfortunately, this sometimes resulted in a perverse blend of patriotism and racism, which culminated when a Charlestown youth literally speared a black attorney with a flag pole adorned with the Stars and Stripes at City Hall Plaza, a moment captured in a famous Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph.
You and I probably agree that Democrats are much more guilty of practicing racism than Republicans.
