BLM Chapter Declares U.S. Flag Hate Symbol; Denounces Those Who Fly It As Unsafe, Racist, Stupid

"We will proactively destroy the systems that continue to give you the power to marginalize people of color. Period."

The Utah chapter of Black Lives Matter (BLM) condemned those who display the American flag, which they described as “a symbol of hatred.”

“When we Black Americans see this flag we know the person flying it is not safe to be around,” the post read. “When we see this flag we know the person flying it is a racist. When we see this flag we know that the person flying it lives in a different America than we do. When we see this flag, we question your intelligence. We know to avoid you. It is a symbol of hatred.

Better get it now they will try to ban them.

At least we can appreciate their honesty. BLM has nothing to do with black lives and all to do with "black power". They do not want equity, but vengeance. I still see BLM signs on white people's homes even though BLM actually hate those people; they see them as useful idiots, which they are.

Not in the least surprised by this and frankly, I would not be surprised if there comes a time when some group (thinking Southern Poverty Law Center but maybe another) declares the US flag a hate symbol. They started the precedent when we've all but banned the Confederate Flag. In fact we just had a big conversation at work the over day about "hate symbols" and we are now required to turn away anyone who is wearing any clothing that has a Confederate Flag on it. For the record, I could see how some would see the Confederate Flag as a symbol of hate and others could see it as regional pride and they BOTH would be right. Doesn't mean it should be banned.

Back to the original point, we're creating a narrative in this country where everything about our history, founding, institutions, and traditions is racist, misogynist, bigoted, and generally hateful. The brainwashing is seeping down from higher academia to K-12 and beyond. It won't be long before it's illegal to fly a US flag anywhere except private property. As others above have said, fuck them. I think we're all getting a little close to the end of the rope as it is and while I may play the game at work (at least for a while longer) out during my "normal" life I won't suffer fools or communists. When I'm on my bench I have a US flag lapel pin that they can pry off of my cold body as far as I'm concerned.

If and when US flags are generally deemed a "hate" symbol then there's nothing stopping any of us from proudly displaying the Gadsden, Appeal to Heaven, or any other number patriotic and historical flags or even the one @libertysnake designed.

As Benjamin Franklin said, "We must all hang together, or else we all will hang separately."

No surprise really but at least they are stating it out in the open.

I would so much rather know for sure that someone or some organization is communist rather than guessing. BLM as an organization is clearly the new Red Guard.

This is how countries die, and it generally involves massive, outrageous violence as well.

They won't ban the USA flag (requires cessation of 1st amendment to do that). But I can definitely see it being "controversial" or "inflammatory", so we are certainly going to see some now afraid to do so. "Symbol of hate", "Built on slavery", etc.

I did not know the term for it, but it's historical negationism: Historical negationism - Wikipedia

Revisionism ostensibly corrects history with new facts. Negationism simply deletes it.

Although anybody of any stripe that supports BLM is a useful idiot. They are doing Karl's work whether they know it or not.

Don't like the USA, leave it. They (at least this particular chapter) are a bunch of trolls...

The chapter went on to taunt those who found the post offensive, commenting, “Welcome racists. We know you are big mad about the racist flag post. You will not be heard here. You will be blocked and your comments will be deleted. We will be donating $1 to AOC’s election campaign for every racist that we block. Thank you for contributing to the re-election of AOC. We will jot down your names and attribute each donation to you. Comment below to help her once again head to Washington.”

BLM Utah went on to post several more lengthy comments insulting those who disapproved, accusing them of being triggered Karens who don’t care about black lives. They also promised to destroy the systems that allegedly perpetuate racism.

Some people here on this forum called this. Back when the Confederate flag became such an issue. They said the American flag will be targeted next... And here we are.

I have heard the words, racism, racist, systemic, white supremacist.
More times in the past year than I have the past 30 years combined.
Fuckin Aye man...

They should just shut the fuck up. No one in this country is oppressed.
And hasn't been for a very long time. Remember the Jessie Smollett thing?
They have to "manufacture" white supremacists (boogie men) for a reason.

How the hell can racism be a problem in this country. When this country voted in a black President not all that long ago. For not 1, but 2 terms. And now currently, has a sort of blackish Vice President. Well, Heels Up Harris is a illegitimate black and VP so I don't know if she counts.
But 8 years of fucking jug ears certainly does.


By the way... I think that it's beautiful. In so many ways.

Heels up Harris self-identified as South Asian until it became convenient for her to be black.

Which just proves the utter bullshit of all of it. When you choose what race/gender you are then allegations of oppression should be moot.

And what is this black nation I keep hearing about?

All I can say is this stuff is pushing people too far. I didn’t have the time to get into it with my wife but she is very supportive of this crap and white privileged. I’m not saying she supports the flag being labeled a hate symbol but she supports POC advancement strategies. It’s actually the only thing we fight about ever!! She told me yesterday a lot of this is taking things too far. She was in a meeting/seminar and apparently they went off the deep end. I do t know the details. She has made initiatives to hire minorities and it has failed. They failed to do what they were supposed to in order to be hired. Now she was accused of some stuff that involves racist claims. It’s hilarious because she has bought into this and given seminars on this stuff just to have it thrown in her face.

I think everyone has their awakening. When you see first hand a person wield their race in ways a white person wouldn't (because they can't) to attempt to gain leverage or undermine another person at work it's impossible not to learn from it. They say white people are privileged and in certain ways they are. But in certain ways they are not; HR departments in 2021 know full well they have to be particularly careful dealing with minorities, lest there is even so much as an illegitimate hint of race behind a decision. If you're a black person in a decent position of leadership in a fairly large company (i.e. those with diversity departments and pride-flags for their corporate logos) you have tremendous leverage that a white person lacks. The burden of proof to fire you is massively higher than a white person's.

The demonizing of the most basic and core symbols (US Flag, National Anthem, Pledge, Founders, etc.) is the first major sign of the end of our Republic. Our Country has it's flaws and sins no doubt, but the loss of pride in her and the intractable calls for dismantling the core tenets that are the brick and mortar that hold us together as a people, signal out downfall and destruction of our nation. I fear we have passed the rubicon and there will be no return. A question was posed in a novel I once read, the question was asked "what are the signs of a society in decline?". The answers were several,but the one that stood out to me was "The loss of every day niceties and courtesy in the little things" These have been gone for so long amongst the many that one can hardly remember them. Having traveled widely globally I also added another one which is the lack of pride and upkeep of public spaces and infrastructure. The upkeep has been in decline for years and now these places are crumbling into ruin. Now is the assault on the symbols of national pride. As this latest trend progresses the decline will gain speed like a boat with shifted cargo listing ever more rapidly as it takes on more water until capsize, speeding us to the end.

when I see a member of BLM, I immediately go on high alert, I WILL DEFEND MYSELF AND MY FAMILY from you assholes.

I will not yield, and i will give no quarter, period

Whites are not privileged.
You get from hard work and being ready if/when opportunities arrive.
Why are the blacks the only ones who can not make anything of themselves? Many do why not more like other poc?

 

[Bananabandit]

I agree. US Flag is racist and stupid. 50 white stars on a blue background and red/white alternating stripes. Never seen anything so racist.
