I’d like to know when the American flag became a symbol of oppression of black people.

The protestors would have much more credibility if they would adopt the flag as a symbol of their cause. As in, we are all together in this, united as a country. All different races; all Americans.

“I’d like to know when the American flag became a symbol of oppression of black people.“

They’re trying. Drew Brees is trying to make it so. He can’t. No one has that power.

The Flag symbolizes the Constitution, the ideals of the US. One would have to find black oppression in the Constitution to make this case but it’s not there.

They are trying. Drew Brees just made the statement that the Flag represents black oppression.

We’ve been hoping for anyone in the NFL to defend the Flag. Instead they disrespect it like this

It won’t go well for him.

The Left has been advancing that argument for years.

From not having the Pledge said in school to the NFL allowing players to kneel.

They won't be happy until the flag is removed.

Remember that flag they hate is the very flag that affords them the freedom to say the stupid stuff they do.

First they came for the Confederate Flag.

I was no fan of the Confederacy, but I knew where this was all headed.
