View submission: Dallas City Hall Protest and March
I've seen people getting mad at these protestors for waving any other flag that isn't the American flag. Let me elaborate for you, but I doubt anyone who needs to read this doesn't read or doesn't visit reddit.
I'm Asian. I've grown up around blacks, whites, mexicans, south/east asians, whatever. Every one of these minorities proudly display the flag of the country that their ancestors were from or immigrated from.
I am going to try to call you ignorant in the nicest way possible because even asking the above question is ignorant. They wave those flags to show pride in where they came from, the culture that they were raised in. That DOES NOT MEAN they want the 'downfall' of the USA or whatever, it means they celebrate their culture. It also means that they have solidarity with people who identify with that flag. Kind of like how you people wave your Confederate flags around to show solidarity with people who share your culture. You know, the culture of enslaving black people and losing easily winnable wars

Black Americans don’t have a country flag, other than the American 🇺🇸. I am black by the way. The blacks you say are immigrants, first, second generation.

You are kind of outing yourself.
From your perspective, flying an ethnic flag isn't a thing. For other people, flying an ethnic flag is a thing.
Other people expressing themselves ought not trouble you.

It’s actually insane how everyone is able to enjoy the culture and heritage of the melting pot AMERICA is just to play stupid as if those same people that are creating it aren’t allowed to enjoy their own heritage

Thank you for some sensibility. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills reading some of these other comments but I guess that's what's in the mind of bigots.

Can you not see the irony of waving a national flag to protest not wanting to go back to that nation ?
