The American flag can not and will not ever be our flag, no matter the color of the president's skin. The American flag is the flag of our oppressor, whether the oppressor has on a black mask, is of no consequence. To wave that flag is a slap in the face of our fore-parents. The sooner people of color accept the fact that this nation simply tolerates us, that this is not our home the better off we will be. America is an empire; we are simply the conquered people of that empire. The empire has put on a black mask to solicit our complacency. Get over the emotion of it all. The truth is being overlooked.
