"F --- America, I have abandoned f --- citizenship," Armstrong said at a concert in London. "I'm here." 

But the candid rock star isn't the only liberal public figure to blame America, its flag, and its meaning. Recent memories have celebrated the pro-athletes who knelt during the national anthem, blamed the Supreme Court, and the liberals tried to redesign the American flag, completely downplaying the importance of July 4.

Last year, one of the most notable examples of recent memories is the New York Times. Mara Gay, a member of the editorial board of the editorial board, was shocked to declare that he had witnessed the "obtrusive" sight of the American flag when he went to MSNBC and visited Long Island in New York. 

A Times columnist appeared in "Morning Joe" and talked about how "Americanness" and "whiteness" need to be separated. 

"I was on Long Island this weekend visiting a really dear friend, and I was really worried," Gay said. "I saw dozens, dozens of pickup trucks, Trump flags, and sometimes dozens of American flags with [expletives] behind Joe Byden, which is also annoying. … In essence the message was clear.'This is my country. This is not your country. I own this. Gay swiftly on social media by blaming the American flag. Despite the backlash, critics were off-base, according to a statement released by the employer.

Co-host of View as a proud American accused the columnist. Sunny Hostin rushed to the gay defense.

"In fact, I'm very surprised she's getting this kind of backlash," Hostin said. "When someone in the color of being a black woman is telling you her feelings, people need to not deny it and not say,'Well, that's not true.'

With a lit fire, it became a scorching image of the protest against the Vietnam War. Ribbed around the Twin Towers at the commemorative September 11th Lapelpin, it was a delicate democracy. Reminds me of the threat to Maslin Nir. " "Political politicians from both parties have long sought to wear a flag, but something could have changed.

"The American flag is a powerful part of the country's symbol, but its design changed frequently until the early 1900s. What if it was redesigned today? To artists and graphic designers I had them try it, "the Times wrote. "Some are functional designs, some are artistic renderings. Some are American representations, others are how artists are currently looking at the country."

In one Andrew Kuo design, the flag is divided into four rectangles, one square consists of red and white stripes, and the other three are blue, yellow, and green rectangles. According to the artist, the red stripes represent the past, the white stripes represent the future, and the plain colors represent "unexplored potential," "restoration of racial discrimination throughout the body," and "care for the earth." increase.
