Being upset about “disrespecting” the flag and not upset about the injustice minorities face in today’s world is the problem. It’s not about the flag, it’s about equality and everyone being treated the same in today’s society.

No one.....certainly not me....has said anything about not being upset about social injustices or inequalities. However.....disrespect does not foster growth, it does not foster change...and it certainly doesn’t foster RESPECT. It is an ineffective way of promoting rational two way conversations. This country, it’s leaders past and present have not, and will never be perfect. Change is needed. There is a tremendous amount of work to do. But.....Disrespecting the flag and the liberties it stands for is not the answer. Burning, rioting, looting , maiming and even killing people in the name of social justice is a CRIME. The message is LOST. Because that’s what people begin to talk about and focus on
