The president of the Black Lives Matter Utah Chapter announced Sunday that she is resigning from her post due to death threats pouring in over a controversial social media post about the American Flag.
Lex Scott, who was also the president of the Utah Black History Museum until Sunday, said in a Facebook post in the BLM Utah Chapter group that she has "received death threats like a flood" since posting commentary about the meaning of the American flag under the account for BLM Utah Chapter, which is not connected to Black Lives Matter National...
...In the commentary Scott posted about the meaning of the American flag on July 4, she argued that for Black Americans, the flag is a warning that the person(s) flying it has hostile feelings toward people of color.
"When we Black Americans see this flag we know the person flying it is not safe to be around. When we see this flag we know the person flying it is a racist. When we see this flag we know that the person flying it lives in a different America than we do. When we see this flag, we question your intelligence. We know to avoid you. It is a symbol of hatred," the post read.
...Ensuing outrage over the Facebook post elicited a public response from Utah NAACP and Governor Spencer Cox....

Apparently the flag representing the UNITED states has escape her, so she ran off like a Texas democrat.
Can’t imagine why that post pissed anyone off...
HOAX! Desperately seek victim status she makes crap up. She’s WORTHLESS, IMHO.
She accidentally said what they all believe.
BS.
Nobody cares about anything you do, Comrade.
Will Romney, AKA ‘pierre delecto’, comfort her?
Left the state?
She didn’t go far enough.
Out of the country is preferable for something like her.
Might I suggest, Cuba or Venezuela or N. Vietnam...
When we see this flag we know that the person flying it lives in a different America than we do.
we fly it in the sane part of America
I suggest Pinochet's Partway Helicopter Shuttle Service - you can't beat the price!
I rather believe it’s ms. Scott who is living in a different world. And that world is entirely within her fevered, deluded little head.

P.S. You probably shouldn’t try crap like that in Utah and not expect to hear disapproval...
I’ve heard there’s plenty of room in the lesser Magellanic galaxy.

“...received death threats like a flood” since posting commentary about the meaning of the American flag under the account for BLM Utah Chapter...”
So does that mean she needs to spend $70k for personal protection now?
North Vietnam?
A (tiny bit) out of date there?
Like, 50 years.
Vietnam is thriving, and united. Though a bit shut down at the moment, because of Covid.
:)
Wow, she pissed off the NAACP. I did not know that this was actually possible for a black person to do.
You know, if that’s her attitude let her have her say.
I’m glad to not live in the same anything in her estimation … and I’m glad she told me up front.
Think about all those years that Commie bastards and Cultural Marxists lied to our faces to remain in our good graces? All those years they pretended to love this country and it’s people?
Oh that those had been as honest as this woman is!
She needs to leave the country, not just Utah.
Don’t let the door hit your fat ugly a$$ on the way out!
She…if it’s really a she…is probably channeling Cori Bush antics.
Claim people are threatening you….turn one into thousands…it’s an epidemic of evil white Americans threatening.
We don’t know if this is even true. But as Levin said, I get death threats too. But I don’t have a guard…and he wouldn’t run away either.
Anyway, nice if BLM runs. They should.
