As rotten as liberals are I never would have guessed they’d be going into the 4th of July trying to portray the American flag as a symbol of hate but here we are. This all started when Nike recalled sneakers that had Betsy Ross American flags on them because Colin Kaepernick said they were racist. Liberals have picked up the ball and are pushing the bullshit full-force. An MSNBC contributor says the American flag is the same thing as a swastika or a burning cross because, damnit, these people hate this country.

Michael Eric Dyson is a Georgetown professor and frequent MSNBC guest. On Wednesday the leftist propaganda network had him on to set the record straight about the Betsy Ross American flag.
“Can you explain why this particular flag, this symbol, is so offensive to some?” the host asked.
“Well it hails from the Revolutionary period, of course, of this nation’s founding, which was deeply embroiled in, you know, enslavement, of the owners of slaves, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and the like but also it’s the recent use of this flag that has been most opprobrious,” Dyson said.
So anything that existed when there was slavery is a symbol of hate? What about the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the Liberty Bell? Are they also racist? Actually maybe the Liberty Bell is symbolic of the crack epidemic.
“Right-wing white supremacists have used it as a rallying cry for their own cause…So right now, this flag has been used by people who want to pummel African Americans, Latinx, Jews and other people. Neo-nazis who want to claim they have the true copyright on American identity,” said Dyson.
Equally stupid is the idea that because white supremacists co-op something it suddenly loses all original meaning. The American flag belonged to the country long before knucklehead Nazis claimed it.
Dyson however thinks it’s because slavery was going on when the Betsy Ross flag was used so therefor it’s really a pro-slavery symbol.
“The reality is this flag has represented something that is offensive,” Dyson said.
No, the Democratic Party has represented something that was offensive (and still does) because they were the ones who owned the slaves. The flag however has only ever represent our great nation.
Now here comes the most bonkers thing a liberal has ever said concerning the American flag:
“Words matter, symbols matter too. Why don’t we wear a swastika for July Fourth? Because I don’t know, it makes a difference. The cross burning on somebody’s lawn…because those symbols are symbols of hate,” said Dyson.
There you have it: Dyson says the American flag, swastikas, and burning crosses are the same thing and that thing is a symbol of hate. F*ck this guy. No seriously, f*ck him.
I did a little research into the validity that the Betsy Ross American flag was ever considered a symbol of hate and found this interesting picture from Barack Obama’s 2013 inauguration:
Holy shit! Those look like Betsy Ross American Flags, don’t they? I guess Obama wasn’t a secret Muslim but rather a secret white power skinhead. Who knew?
It’s just a matter of time before liberals start calling the current 50-star American flag a symbol of hate and demand its removal. Think I’m joking? 15 of those stars represent states that allowed slavery and liberals will get around to crying racism over it.
