Macy Gray Defends Call To Redesign US Flag: It's 'Confusing'
Fox News ^ | 06.22.2021 | Nate Day

Last week, the star made headlines when she wrote an op-ed for MarketWatch in which she suggested that the American flag be redesigned, as the current design has become "tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect," alleging that it has "replaced" the confederate flag as a symbol of racism and hate.

Reactions to the "I Try" singer's suggestion were mixed, but certainly caused a stir on social media, and now, in an interview with TMZ, Gray has continued to defend her criticism and expanded on her call for a redesign.

She began the interview on Tuesday by once again explaining that it was the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol following the election of Joe Biden that sparked her sentiments.

If she doesn't understand it then she needs to go back to school and learn what it is and what it stands for and what my brothers and sisters in arms died for. Idiot.

This “star” is being given an embellishment meant to inflate her importance far beyond real accomplishment.

Phonies and fakes have we with us always.

The American Flag is a symbol of all that is right with America, burning it or trampling it cannot diminish that.

Well I just say that if any citizen of this country cannot honor the flag of this country and what we know it stands for then they certainly don’t belong here.....and that IS the it of it. So their obvious solution is go where they can be comfortable with other like mindedness......there’s plenty of choices.

The most I know of her is that she had a popular song or two about 20 years ago, and played a human stereotype in the film π˜›π˜³π˜’π˜ͺ𝘯π˜ͺ𝘯𝘨 π˜‹π˜’π˜Ί, also about 20 years ago. Beyond that, nada. I think she’s just doing it for attention, but at the same time legitimately believes it.

You know who finds our flag confusing?

Foreigners or enemies of the State who hate our country. And crackheads.

I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

Thirteen stripes representing the thirteen original colonies. White represents America’s pure intentions, those of God. Red for the blood spilled for freedom. White stars on an azure field representing each of the several states of the union.

Literally three short sentences in explanation. Our schools are the reason we’re in the predicament we’re in.

Macy Gray Defends Call To Redesign US Flag: It's 'Confusing'

"It's Confusing"

Sheer ignorance has been known to be a root cause of confusion.

The flag’s stars should reflect America’s racial composition: Two stars should be colored black. /s

Macy Gray? I used to get her confused with Mary J Bilge, or whatever.

What is confusing about this?

1. Thirteen stripes represent the original 13 colonies
2. Fifty stars represent the current 50 states
3. The color red symbolizes strength and valor
4. The color white symbolizes purity and innocence
5. The color blue symbolizes vigilance, perseverance, and justice

Looks like Macy the β€œstar” has some β€˜splainin’ to do. What ignorance.

That’s not the reason. She hates it and the country.

All liberals agree with her, they may not admit it but at least she’s willing to say what they really think deep down.
