Black Lives Matter: U.S. Flag is 'Racist'

On Independence Day the Black Lives Matter chapter located in Utah posted on social media that the “American flag is now a hate symbol.”

On Independence Day the Black Lives Matter (BLM) chapter located in Utah posted on social media that the “American flag is now a hate symbol.”

The post, which went viral of course, caused somewhat of an uproar. Some Americans found the post ridiculous while some came out in full-throated defense of it.

Yet, less than a week after issuing its infamous post about the American flag, BLM Utah is back at it again.

And this time, the BLM Utah chapter didn’t hold anything back as it doubled down on its anti-American flag propaganda.

The post begins, “Now I have started a huge controversy. The media now has a hold of it. The controversy stems from me calling the American flag a symbol of hate. I stand by my words.”

It continues, “If you see that every person that hates you is carrying an American flag how would you feel about that flag? If every message of hate that you receive comes from a person flying that flag, how would you feel when you see that flag. I feel fear. That is not up for debate. I feel like the person flying it is racist, because every racist that I have come in contact with is either wearing that flag or flying that flag. I feel as if I should avoid that person because they may be dangerous.”

One thing that immediately struck me is the emphasis on “I feel.” This person may feel these things to be true, but he or she lacks any evidence to prove that what he or she feels is tethered to any facts or reality.

They prefer this one: green on the outside, red on the inside.

A week later corporate America which donated BILLIONS to BLM has not revoked their funding nor demanding a retraction or any accountability publicly.

I live in a very nice area North of Scottsdale, AZ. I see many people displaying big flags on their trucks/cars. Many have a flag pole with a flag. Most just won’t go to certain areas in Phx anymore. A lot of black people are enraged. Too, bad....Used to spend $$ down there at some good restaurants. We stopped going when we were treated poorly. I don’t see this ending well.

An army fighting under this flag set their sorry black asses free, right?


In spite of all the raised black fists, the slaves did not free themselves. They seem to forget that, or not want to acknowledge that.

On a brighter note the Utah BLM did say they’d avoid anyone who flew the flag, so we’ve got that going for us.
