Very true. It is also a historic fact that the 1863 U.S. flag exists, and flown by union troops during the civil war. However, that flag is currently on display in museums, rather than being incorporated into the state flags of northern states or placed over the capitol grounds of northern states in the 1960s to showcase their "heritage".
The fact is the media has converted the WORDS confederate flag into the words Crime Think.
you can say Christian, mother, father, marriage, good, evil, constitution, melting pot, merit, because the only way to state them is to say,
crime think.
no past, no future, only today is perfect.
Any iteration of the official US flag can be flown at any given time. So, the 1863 US flag, if chosen, can be displayed over the US capitol building or any state capitol or venue if desired.
