'It’s time for a reset': Macy Gray proposes to change American flag on Juneteenth
Looks like the old stars and stripes is ripe for a change because it's too white and George Washington was White and a slave owner. Martha was just doing what she was told so she was just misguided. Now if they drop a few stars in it and grant succession then I bet some would be more agreeable with it.
serf
Grammy-winning singer Macy Gray suggested the stars and bars flag could use an update for Juneteenth after she said the meaning of the flag was "hijacked" after the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol. In an op-ed for MarketWatch, first published Thursday, Gray laid out reasons she thinks Old Glory is outdated and even proposed ways in which the flag could be updated to better represent America in 2021.
"Like the Confederate (flag), it is tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect. It no longer represents democracy and freedom. It no longer represents ALL of us. It’s not fair to be forced to honor it. It’s time for a new flag," Gray wrote.

That's just stupid, the colors and shapes on our flag has nothing to do with any race...

Shows the singers ignorance, "Stars and Bars" is usually associated with the Confederate Battle Flag not the US Flag...

Lust look at it as another ''Teachable Lesson"
Opines such as this would normally NEVER be given media attention a few decades ago. However since main stream media has evolved into propaganda center for promoting the partisan DEMOCRAT ideology, it warrant print and airtime.
These are the same people who obviously have a problem with not just our flag but the veterans who defended it. Watch the kneeling and lauding of such behavior during professional sports if you doubt me.

From "Starspangledflag.com:"
Flag Colors – Red, White and Blue
- RED symbolizes strength and valor
- WHITE symbolizes purity and innocence
- BLUE symbolizes vigilance, perseverance and justice
The colors don't represent people. We don't have any red or blue people.

George may have been a slave owner, but she's a stupid owner and needs to quit that horrible practice.
