The Confederate battle flag, which was crafted as a symbol of opposition to the abolishment of slavery, is just recently tired. We don’t see it much anymore. However, on the 6th, when the stormers rained on the nation’s most precious hut, waving Old Glory — the memo was received: the American flag is its replacement.
President Biden, Madame Harris and members of Congress: the American flag has been hijacked as code for a specific belief. God bless those believers, they can have it. Like the Confederate, it is tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect. It no longer represents democracy and freedom. It no longer represents ALL of us. It’s not fair to be forced to honor it. It’s time for a new flag.
Incorrect? Let’s look to the stars. There are 50, where there should be 52. D.C. and Puerto Rico have been lobbying for statehood for decades. Both have been denied, since statehood would allow each territory’s elected officials seats in the house.
Assuming D.C. reps would be African-American and Puerto Rican reps would be Hispanic, the ultimate assumption is that these elected officials would be Democratic. That alone is racist.
On to the stripes. The Smithsonian documents that the “white” stripes represent purity and innocence. America is great. It is beautiful. Pure, it ain’t. It is broken and in pieces.
What if the stripes were OFF-white? What if there were 52 stars to include D.C. and Puerto Rico? What if the stars were the colors of ALL of us — your skin tone and mine — like the melanin scale? The blue square represents vigilance and perseverance; and the red stripes stand for valor. America is all of those things. So, what if those elements on the flag remained? What if the flag looked like this?

Been saying it all along, the main driver for adding new states is to change the flag.
You forgot the PUKE warning
“What if the stripes were OFF-white? What if there were 52 stars to include D.C. and Puerto Rico? What if the stars were the colors of ALL of us — your skin tone and mine”
What if you just STFU and pound sand at the same time.

The Gadsden Flag would be most appropriate and fitting.
I can just imagine what this POS’s Twittsewer timeline looks like...
DC is too small to be a state. (So are Rhode Island and Delaware, but we’re stuck with them.) Puerto Ricans have voted consistently that they like things just the way they are.
No one on the left gives a d*mn about any of this. Adding two more leftist states is the legislative equivalent of packing the Supreme Court. The issue is always the revolution, and until we get rid of the leftists, we will always have the revolution.
“The Confederate battle flag, which was crafted as a symbol of opposition to the abolishment of slavery,”
Bovine Scat! I was created as an opposition to Federalism and as a symbol of the States rights to self government as enumerated in the 10th Amendment.
I knew Juneteenth day was nothing more than a Trojan horse.
It will take a Seven-Nation Army to hold me back if they mess with the White Stripes.
I have one word, “BULLS...!”
Nice, but make it solid red with the symbol in the upper left as is. That would be more in line with what they want
How about honoring the flag that we have now?
Right, and don’t forget the new anthem for our bi-racially-divided country.
Replacing the stars with marijuana leaves and the stripes with a rainbow of injection needles.
