Flagging America's racial divide

    And what about the video of Reginald Denney getting assaulted? Oops. The cheering of blacks to OJ Simpson's aquittal? Oops. I don't give a rip about how the flag is interpreted. Black america does not have clean hands. If they feel a grievance deserves a violent response, they lose the arguement.
