Macy Gray Calls For Replacing American Flag, Says It Has Replaced Confederate Flag

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“It no longer represents ALL of us,” Gray wrote.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
