The politics of fear and hate has united against the Flag of America.
The crux of the issue is police brutality, on a particular segment of the American population. It does not help that the law of our great land has lacked the will, and honor to bring some of those rogue police officers to justice. On an overall basis, this is a political and social issue that can be handled in a more positive and productive way that benefits all segments of the American population.
Currently you have a group of rich people, some millionaires, some billionaires, looking to force change by disrespecting what unites all Americans, and that is our flag. America is made up of many people, with diverse backgrounds and cultures. We come together as Americans by what holds us together, and that is our Flag and our Country. Our Flag, Our Banner is what unites all of the various people who live in the great empire of America.
The politics of fear and hate has a target and it is our Flag. It is also wrapped up in rights as well. Everything in this day and age is based on “me”. I have the right to do whatever, whenever because it is what “I” want to do.
You have a “right” to take a knee during the National Anthem, yes, you do. You have the “right” to do many things. What about having the “Respect” not to do those things.
Notice how the main stream media & the politics of fear and hate, never mentions the word “respect”. Everything is about what are my rights, what I say is,
How about having respect to a larger group of people who believe that you should respect the Flag and our Nation.
You will never hear the people pushing fear and hate use the word “respect”, because it does not fit into that political agenda. The negative politics needs a thing to point at and blame, our Flag, and our great Nation is that thing. The people who are pushing fear and hate need you to believe that the problem is you and you should bow to the will of fear and hate.
They need you to believe that disrespecting the flag and nation is the right course of action. What I am telling you is that is a damn lie of damn lies. Our great nation has problems, and it has serious problems, we are a divided nation and we show it every single day. Our Flag, and our Nation is the best thing that could have happened to our world, and the majority of Americans need to take that reality to the people who are pushing fear and hate and pointing at a Flag that they fear.
America has problems, the one problem that we do not have is Our Flag, Our Anthem, and Our Grand Experiment of a Nation. I am an American, I believe in Our Great Flag, I believe in Our Great Nation, and I believe in the Good Will Of Our People.
I am an American, and I will choose to Honor Our Flag & Our Nation.
I hope that Americans will choose to do the same thing.
Hi @wavechronicle. I'm not an American but I know some who really cares about their country and respects the Flag. Those people are so nice with other non-Americans too. I hope you're one of them ^^
Thank you for the kind words.
African Americans make up 12% of the U.S. population and commit over 50% of all violent crimes.
Why won't anybody discuss this?
The article is not about race at all. I understand your point of view but all groups that have come to America had a certain level of crime. Our Flag can represent everyone, all they have to do is believe in a better America. Thank you for the comment. :-)
Thank you
