I disagree. He understands gang colors, so he understands the flag. In fact we CALL the flag “colors” as in “color guard.” He’s just being disingenuous because he’s an ANTI-AMERICAN but he think’s he’s being clever.

I understand your confusion. Like most people, you are hung up on the flag because of our religious reverence to it, which is enshrined in law. But, listen to what Sharpe and kneelers are saying and ignore the flag. When they really get going, they truly hate the USA.
Taken as a symbol, national colors are very different from gang colors. A nation is much greater than a gang or a tribe, and typically has many gangs or tribes in it who have given away their sovereignty to form the nation. The kneelers always profess support for the tribe and/or gang (unity, interlocking arms, etc), but they hate the nation—which they see as a construct of colonialism (Obama taught them the basics of post-colonial Marxist thought).
When Sharpe or a kneeler talks of injustice, they mean that they want tribal sovereignty back (i.e. they make and enforce their own laws) while being able to enjoy the full privileges (and benefits) of being in the nation.
The irony is that they are kneeling (a sign of surrender) for the same flag that we proudly stand for (a sign of the equality of individual and nation).
You are absolutely correct. Great point! Gang members will murder over disrespect for gang colors. If they didn't understand the significance of gang colors they can't survive in some areas so even if they aren't connected to a gang they understand. They are being too cute.
