Macy Gray isn't backing down from her controversial stance that the American flag should be redesigned.
The 53-year-old Grammy-winning singer elicited mixed reactions over a Juneteenth op-ed she wrote for MarketWatch that quickly went viral. In the piece, Gray compared the U.S. flag to the Confederate flag, calling it "tattered, dated, divisive and incorrect." She doubled down on her assertion on Monday.
"Why do we have to celebrate a flag that now represents divisiveness and hate?" she declared.
Gray felt the need for change more than ever on Jan. 6, when she watched rioters storm the U.S. Capitol, many of whom carried American flags.
"The people there held it up as their symbol as 'this is what America represents,'" Gray continued. "'We're threatening to hang the vice president and our gang sign is the flag.'"
Gray said she "shouldn't have to salute" the current flag.
"I shouldn't have to honor it, I shouldn't have to pledge to it," she explained. "All I'm saying is let's redesign the flag for the rest of us who aren't a part of that tribe."
"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," she stated.
The latest change in the American flag was more than 60 years ago, when the new states Alaska and Hawaii were given stars.
"Sixty-two years later, in 2021, we have changed and it’s time for a reset, a transformation. One that represents all states and all of us," Gray concluded.

Honey, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. Now go away.
You don’t have to just stay ignorant
Macy Gray
“One that represents all states and all of us,”
She really means “one that represents us and not you, because we don’t like you.”
She can exit through the gift shop. All of these libs that said they were going to leave the country should have left.
She can go.
Leave the country you so hate.
She doesn’t.
But she shouldn’t be surprised if the people who do love the flag and the Republic for which it stands hold her in contempt and shun her.
. . . then pack your sh!t and move to Liberia. They’ve got it clocked down there. You’ll see.
Liberia is looking for folks.........
Long past time to say (and mean) your sorry *ss is outta here.
NOW!
😂🙌 Great minds.......
Macy Gray does not have to honor tge flag. However this comes with an obligation to leave and find another country in which to live. Go.
I remember learning in history class about people being exiled from America. Ahhh, the good old days!
Another attack on Sports by Liberals.
These ‘activist athletes’ don’t realize they are just tools. The real goal is to disrupt something that unifies the country.
No nation is “pure” or perfect. And it’s currently “broken” because of the thieving, destructive left.
Go live somewhere else if you’re so dissatisfied. You contribute nothing positive at all.
She’s right. America is (or was) about freedoms. She’s free to leave. There’ the door. Don’t let it hit you in the backside.
Washed up celebrities always move on to left wing politics in an attempt to extend their 15 minutes.
