I have a message for Donald Trump in regard to flag burning. As an African-American who has a great deal of knowledge regarding this country’s history involving slavery, stealing lands from Native Americans, the KKK, Jim Crow, secret prisons, attacking other countries based on lies, stealing elections, corporate and government corruption, etc. — it is reaching a point it makes me sick to even look at the American flag. I certainly don’t think it is worth taking my time to burn it knowing all the evil committed as it is being waved.

As for the media and Republicans, my concern is just how much more evil can we expect to take place now that the oligarchy has taken complete control of the country? We see it already taking shape with threats of imprisonment of those exposing the corruption, ending medical care and privatizing social security as well as much of the government, destroying the public schools system and rolling back human right’s values that took generations to obtain.
