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....

The Left’s long term goal is the elimination or at least the marginalization of Old Glory. There is even a multicolored flag which appears to be a knockoff from the LBGTQ rainbow flag. I wouldn’t be surprised if such a flag is first raised in the most leftist places like San Francisco, Seattle, New York, etc., in lieu of the Stars and Stripes. Revolutions replace flags that represented the old regime with their own. Examples: France in 1789, Russia in 1917, China in 1949, South Africa in 1994. Perhaps Biden won’t go so far, but his successor may.
Not as badass as the Utah Chapter of the Flying Elvises:
It's late. I post weird things when I'm sleepy.
Racist view everything through the prism of race. Non racists, like most freeper’s I’m sure, are color blind to race and only judge on the content of a person’s character.
How much longer will it take for people of both races to finally realize that they cannot live peacefully together?
This dysfunctional marriage never worked, doesn’t work and will never work.
Let each side go their own separate ways and be in control of their own destinies.
I’m betting that ‘flood of death threats’ was self-generated.
the thing is, we can live peacefully together. But then you let immigration go wild and introduce foreign, and racist, idealologies. This gal is a Minnie Mandela type idiot. I’m sure she’s delighted about the violence towards whites and India’ians in SoAf.
Do these folks ever present copies of the threats? There are only so many ways these things can be sent/transmitted to the person.
Were they text messages, DMs, emails, what? And if they are threats, the cops have ways to find out who sent them. Not everyone is so tech savvy as to be able to mask their IP addresses, etc.
Black fascist/racist fantasies and mental illness. Maybe she can move in with Rep. Corrie Bush. “Lex and Corrie” - two sickos from hell.
Just a Leftist telling us what they feel. Most of us who pay attention aren't surprised.
“BLM Utah Chapter, which is not connected to Black Lives Matter National”
riiiiiggght
Nevermind all those flag waving BLACK people who marched in Selma and heard MLK’s I Have a Dream speech.
“under the account for BLM Utah Chapter, which is not connected to Black Lives Matter National...”
Bull Shit. If it’s not connected, they wouldn’t be permitted to use the same name.
These so-called "death threats" are undoubtedly of the type,
"If you and your fellow BLM thugs should ever come to my property and attempt to desecrate the Old Glory proudly flying here, I will personally whup your *ss!"
Regards,
Umm N Vietnam does not exist anymore, sorry if you are behind the times.
Would love to see some gold star Mother catch up to her in a dark alley.
Another lie to create racial division.
(Do I really need a sarc tag?)

When I call a FReeper a racist, it is usually in jest and I post the little black kid meme eating watermelon.
This post is truly indicative of a sick racist.
You need help.
When you refer to 'each side' it shows your twisted view of the world.
I will pray for you.
The reason is almost never the reason
