(Rant) Business owners are racist for displaying American flag!

I'm lost for words, so I'm leaving this pic.

Slinging mud to see what sticks? I'm not anti-American in the least, I'm just not afraid to call America on its crap. I guess that's another way we differ.

But why is it your positions are constantly critical of America and white christian males? why do you have that predictability about you? when you see a white male who is critical of black people / culture, constantly; you call them racist.

a reply to: TechniXcality

That means I hate America? You're engaging in a fallacy. Because I speak against certain things I must be X? Are you saying that condemning racist white males is anti-American? To clear it up though... I post or say things about white christian males to illustrate they are exactly the same as the minorities they bitch about.

No, im not saying you are racist or that you hate America where are you getting this "hate america" thing from? (the OP may not "hate" America), ( the racist thing - that's a conclusion you would make if I acted the same way you do towards white people; towards black people) I am saying that your positions follow one angle, and almost always they are critical of white males, Christians(im atheist), and the United States, your location is "burning flags" and even if that's satirical its a good example of your positions (btw I support your right to burn flags I just think its detestable) and stop with the triggered bull# im not at all.

That's my opinion.

Welcome to ATS.

Sure, I'll play!

What is it in particular that offends you about a national symbol displayed within that nation? It seems a common thing for most nations. Of late, I suspect, it's a symbol for unity toward the Constitution and other "founding" ideals.

I admit, I've never considered the display of the American flag to be offensive to anyone within the U.S. It isn't a symbol for caucasians only. Far from it. Many other skin tones fought and died for the precepts of that flag. Thoughts?

Sure youre not. I post the way I do always in response to bigotry or stereotypes. It doesn't mean I hate white male christians. I don't hate anyone...well that may not be as true as it used to be, times are a changing.

I would like to also add that the very first person killed n the fight for the freedom of this country was one Crispus Attucks. And, he was a black man. The symbolism of the flag started with his death. So, in effect it is a remembrance of how a black man was killed while protesting for his rights.

Hardly a "White's Only" concept if you know the FULL history of this country.

He said, "Hispanic flag". But the problem is everyone in central and south America are Hispanic.

I have been flying a flag long before Trump came along
