Singer Macy Gray says US should ditch the Stars and Stripes because it is 'tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect'
2021-06-20
That's why the flags of two other countries emulate it.
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Macy Gray, 53, wrote the op-ed for MarketWatch ahead of Juneteenth, which was declared a federal holiday this week and is set to be celebrated on Saturday

  • The 'I Try' singer said the flag needs to be redesigned to represent all Americans, arguing the symbolism of Old Glory was harmed during the Capitol riot

  • Gray argued that the stars on the flag fail to represent Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, which have both seen failed attempts at gaining statehood

  • She went on to claim that the 'white' stripes meant to represent purity and innocence are not an accurate way to depict the country

  • The five-time Grammy nominee a design for her own version of the flag that she felt would be more representative of the country, while keeping many elements

  • Many people on social media were not thrilled with the take down of Old Glory

#9  A momentum of violence will have to be maintained too, with liquidations of people like that Cullors woman, maybe some antifa heroes offed on the street, voices like this one testing people's tolerance silenced abruptly.

Cut off the toes, the heads will topple.
Think globally, address locally.

Curing urban blight surgically is dirty, deadly, wearing and expensive.

#8  No worries. When the left's militias finally get the balls to attack a suburban neighborhood where people actually live, not only will Antifa and BLM be utterly destroyed, the suburbanites will roll right on through city hall and the federal building taking into custody every politician and deep state turd and antifa punk until peace reigns supreme again. etc. etc. etc.

#7  ^ A purge? Long term deterrence and enslavement? Let the hordes of criminals and sociopaths cultivated by mayors and DAs loose on defenseless people. Not an all out assault. Violations of opportunity. Death to their pride and morale by a thousand cuts. Make it so any degree of atrocity is easily forgotten and people learn to live with it.

The power of such a setup has been seen in third world nations for years now. It has become the status quo that their pols and bureaucracies fight to protect, hailed as democracy and other lofty things. Make the people totally dependent on the State, at the mercy of the police. Their highest aspiration becomes mere survival and maybe doing business to pay off State extortion.

It's like the American Left studied the polities of these nations and decided that the severely emasculated majorities and forever desperate middle classes make for easy golden geese; and decided this is what they want for America. It'll take a generation to get there, but unchallenged they will.

#6  Ref Dron's cmnts at #4:

This sort of thing has already been anticipated by the deepState strategists; hence the move to weed out nationalists and unwoke people not on the same page, from the military and law enforcement. The campaign on thought policing and anti-government ideas. The hullabaloo about 'domestic terrorists', because they know such a reaction is imminent.

Destroy the election process, upend the economy, WOKEtard the military, bankrupt the nation, make us a global laughing stock, what could possibly be next on their agenda ?

#4  Fight back and bring this idiocy to a conclusion.

That will mean sacrifice and a willingness to be vicious. Coordination with capable people, recruiting, supply, funding. And a prolonged guerilla warfare in urban zones. Not that it can't be done, it can I'm sure. Anything groups of weed addled, ritalin raised misfits can do, well adjusted healthy people can accomplish in months. But it would entail going up against the laws, that beloved constitution, everything even the Republicans hold dear. A strong enough statement of disobedience and rebellion, and the pols will have to relent in their campaign to alter America piecemeal. A momentum of violence will have to be maintained too, with liquidations of people like that Cullors woman, maybe some antifa heroes offed on the street, voices like this one testing people's tolerance silenced abruptly.

This sort of thing has already been anticipated by the deepState strategists; hence the move to weed out nationalists and unwoke people not on the same page, from the military and law enforcement. The campaign on thought policing and anti-government ideas. The hullabaloo about 'domestic terrorists', because they know such a reaction is imminent. Theirs were logical steps toward preemptive disempowerment of the people. Concurrent to it they have their assault on the 2A in various forms and stages of success. Because intelligent, war experienced vets, LEOs leading disgruntled citizens against their ANTIFA and black supremacist goons is what they fear. If that happens, raw power will transfer back into people's hands, making the administrations finally answerable, the socialist elite an endangered species and the dysfunctional democracy a Republic.

An American Spring.

Your comments may be clear, but that is not what politicians hear, they are dogs you know, you must use the following to make them appear, to be listing to your comments on our plight, before our republic experiences the final good night....

#2  F--K OFF.

Throw off this Woke-yoke
Enough of this insanity.

July 4, 2021 needs to be day we put an end to this disgusting, up-is-down and night-is-day nonsense.

Celebrate the 4th in the old way, and piss on this Wakandan St Floyd, Juneteef bullshit. It's alien to our civilization. It's repulsive.

Fight back and bring this idiocy to a conclusion.
