My comment, "A quick look online and there are many articles about the U.S. Flag being racist at worst and not representative of "All Of Us" at best. Article sharing their opinions came from ABC, CNN, CNBC, shows representing these stations as an example is the View and so-called "new commentators". It makes me wonder if they know the meaning and/or what the American Flag represents. The flag certainly holds a great deal of meaning to me. While I strongly disagree with their view, many have died, and many have served to give them the right to express their opinion. What bothers me is that the suggestion is I should not have an opinion if it differs from their own or I automatically acquire a derogatory title.

What are your thoughts?
