Truthmany white people are simplistic morons. they believe in symbols because that is a simple concept that doesn't require thinking. they want to believe in things like honor, sacrifice, courage, etc, which is a human trait. the problem arises when you understand that idiots such as this lack nuance in their thinking and so, it's easy for them to believe the american flag stands only for rainbows and unicorns. when you try to educate them or show them otherwise, they react violently to your instruction. this is because they don't want to actually know the truth, instead they want to nurture a specific worldview (that they're backing the winning team, and that they by extension are good and are winners). if you could make them sit down and accept the fact that the american flag is also a symbol of terrorism, then they'd have to rethink their entire self and who they are.
Maybe it’s cause I wasn’t born in American nor white, but can someone please tell me why the fukking flag is such a big deal to some people? Same for that, “ thanks for your service” crap

Since when has the flag ever served as a shield for black people?
