This would be no big deal, just another entitled, unhinged liberal hating on America as usual, if so many other liberals weren’t agreeing with her
Singer Macy Gray argues US needs a ‘new flag’ to replace ‘tattered, dated, divisive’ Old Glory
The American flag is “tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect” and needs to be updated, singer Macy Gray argued this week in an op-ed written for Juneteenth.
But the piece, published Thursday by MarketWatch, received a quick rebuke from a few prominent conservatives.
The five-time Grammy nominee’s article appeared the same day President Biden signed a bill making Juneteenth a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the 1860s.
She argued that Old Glory has “replaced” the Confederate flag, implying it is a symbol of racism.
“It no longer represents ALL of us,” Gray wrote. “It’s not fair to be forced to honor it. It’s time for a new flag.”
If she and others don’t like it, they can leave, right? What do they want to replace it with? The African flag they fly on Juneteenth? Something with the communist symbol on it? Perhaps the BLM or Antifa flags? People like Macy do not want any sort of coming together, and sort of “racial healing”, no, they just want to sow division and air their racial grievances and force everyone else to comply.
She went on to say a new flag should have 52 stars, with the new pair representing Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.
She claimed both the U.S. territory in the Caribbean and the nation’s capital city deserve statehood and that the supposed purity and innocence represented by the flag’s white stripes is a fallacy.
“America is great,” she wrote. “It is beautiful. Pure, it ain’t. It is broken and in pieces.”
She suggested the stripes could be off-white and the stars the “colors of ALL of us — your skin tone and mine.”
Huh what? What about Latinos? Asians? Middle Eastern folks? Native Americans? Are they being left out? What is off white? White? I’m guessing she really didn’t think through her moonbat piece. She just wanted to bitch and moan. Perhaps she should talk with her BLM allies about looting and pillaging and arson and vandalism in black owned areas.
As for Puerto Rico, are we to force them to be a full part of the Union? Mentioning D.C. means this was very much about politics, trying to force something to happen. Tell you what, convene a Constitutional convention, see if you can get the votes.
OPINION: "Sixty-two years later, in 2021, we have changed and it’s time for a reset, a transformation. One that represents all states and all of us," writes singer Macy Gray. https://t.co/VTezKfjxdr

every black person in America should have to answer this question “who freed the slave”? answer white people freed the slaves. if the majority of whites still wanted slavery we would still have slavery. if blacks are going to brainwash white kids then they should at least know the facts about slavery.
bob thinks that Black men, women and children should fall to their knees and thank white people for freeing them! ​
Supremacist-Americans forget they lost a war on this issue over 150 years ago. You lost. Freedom won.
Today, supremacist-Americans understandably choose to hide their legacy and even to take credit for changes they fight today and would have opposed a century ago! “Abraham Lincoln was a white man AND a Republican!”, they shout, “Therefore we’re good”. LOL.
Whoever said the stars represented White People? This is just a Flag representing all the people of America! Get over it Macy Gray!
William Teach: If she and others don’t like it, they can leave, right? What do they want to replace it with? The African flag they fly on Juneteenth? Something with the communist symbol on it? Perhaps the BLM or Antifa flags? People like Macy do not want any sort of coming together, and sort of “racial healingâ€, no, they just want to sow division and air their racial grievances and force everyone else to comply.
Poor Teach. A Black singer criticizing the US sure triggered William, which no doubt was her intention. That dang Macy Gray doesn’t appreciate all that white men like William have allowed Black “Americans” to do and should leave! And how dare that dang Black woman say that America isn’t perfect? Supremacist-Americans understand that America isn’t perfect BECAUSE for those negroes. After all, BLM! antifa! Looting! Pillaging! Hide your women and children!
The white supremacists should stop hating Asians too.

Bwaha! Lolgf
“It no longer represents all of us.†So by her statement, it used to represent everyone, and now it doesn’t. So as racial equity over the years has gone up, representation goes down? Where did this rocket scientist come from?
The American flag isn’t meant to “represent all of us”. It’s meant to represent America. If you’re not American it will never represent you. I think the problem is with her, not the flag. Besides, democommies have a plethora of flags to represent their peculiar proclivities. They have gay flags (of many assorted designs), BLM flags, commie flags (their favorite at “mostly peaceful demonstrations), Antifa flags, those lame phony African flags that are red/black and green and I’m sure many more. To democrats and other leftists American flags are for burnin’ not wavin’.
