A Black Lives Matter chapter in Utah has called the American flag “a symbol of hatred” — one only used by dumb racists.
“When we Black Americans see this flag we know the person flying it is not safe to be around,” Black Lives Matter Utah wrote in a July Fourth post alongside an image of the Stars and Stripes.
“When we see this flag we know the person flying it is a racist. When we see this flag we know that the person flying it lives in a different America than we do.
“When we see this flag, we question your intelligence. We know to avoid you. It is a symbol of hatred,” wrote the chapter, which founder Lex Scott says is not part of the national BLM organization.
The rant continued in the comments section and a follow-up post, where the group asked “why every racist wears that flag and flies that flag?”
“Because it is a symbol of hate … This country has created genocide under that flag,” the group said.
“We will not pledge allegiance to that flag. We will not stand for the National anthem. We will not respect a piece of cloth that you respect more than Black lives,” the group wrote.
The post quickly sparked outrage — even among the group’s own members, BLM Utah admitted.
“One member was genuinely hurt. ‘You are alienating people, please take it back,'” the group wrote in comments.
The groups claimed it also “received death threats” — closing down the comments section and vowing to donate $3 for every negative comment toward helping re-elect progressive “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
“Listen Karen, confronting you and this country about your racism isn’t hatred,” the chapter wrote, using a stereotype for angry white women in a comment attacking critics for using “repeat negative stereotypes.”
“We will proactively destroy the systems that continue to give you the power to marginalize people of color. Period,” the group wrote, saying they could “taste your fear and it tastes delicious.”
Utah Republican Chairman Carson Jorgensen told the Salt Lake Tribune that “the American flag is a symbol of freedom and opportunity to the world.”
“This banner has been flown for the liberation of millions and millions who have given their lives in honor of what the flag represents, “ Jorgensen said. “We are stalwart in our support and love for the American flag and all of the good that it stands for.”
Utah state Sen. Todd Weiler also told the paper that “the vast majority of Utahns” still regard the flag as “a symbol of unity and perseverance for our nation’s past — and hope for our nation’s future.”
“There have always been those who try to divide us. I am grateful to live in a county that allows dissenting voices to be expressed,” the Republican said.
Despite the death threats, the BLM group later posted a series of celebratory messages bragging about how they had “just pissed off every republican in America.”
“That was a good day. We pissed off every racist republican in this country. It is an honor,” the group wrote late Wednesday along with a Beyonce meme, signing off, “Ok sleep tight insurrectionists. We love you.”
Now there are believers who are afraid of the American flag — and state it is a symbol of a ‘white’ country.
Predictable future: someone will propose a new flag, and accuse all those who oppose it as racists. https://t.co/rd0lYJV1SM
I'm black and disapprove of the Utah BLM message. They fly the American flag at the White House and your local post office. To call it racist is as absurd as calling the sun cold. BLM hurts its cause when they do this.

NAACP RELEASE STATEMENT: After a Utah BLM Chapter made headlines across the country for claiming the American flag is racist, the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People has decided to also release a statement.https://t.co/bmtY4seyk3
SALT LAKE CITY – After a Utah BLM Chapter made headlines across the country for claiming the American flag is racist, the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People has decided to also release a statement.
On July 10, the President of the NAACP Utah State Conference, Jeanetta Williams denounces the statements made by a representative of the Utah BLM on “When we Black Americans see this flag, we know the person flying it is not safe to be around, is a racist and lives in a different America and questions their intelligence.”
According to the National Association, they do not agree with the controversial idea and dismisses the thought that flying the American flag is a racist message.
“The flag stands for all the people who have lived and served to bring about the best of the American Experience, that all people are created equal,” the NAACP states. “Real American Patriots have stood for equality and justice for all. While we recognize that the history of our nation is marked with both failures and successes in the treatment of minorities, we know the way forward starts with respect and togetherness for all Americans.”
Williams goes on to say the American flag represents “the highest aspirations expressed from the founding of the Union, through the Emancipation Declaration, the 13th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution, the Enactment of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, to the millions of Americans who support their fellow citizens of all races, national origin, and color.”
On July 4, Black Lives Matter Utah posted a picture of the American flag with a caption that prompted a national dialogue about what the flag really means.
“When we Black Americans see this flag we know the person flying it is not safe to be around. When we see this flag we know the person flying it is a racist. When we see this flag we know that the person flying it lives in a different America then we do. When we see this flag, we question your intelligence. We know to avoid you. It is a symbol of hatred,” the social media post says.
“I don’t take it back because some of us live in a different America…we really do. We don’t have the same experience as the people who are flying that [flag],” founder Lex Scott explains.
Scott is the one who wrote that post causing a flurry on social media.
“I watched a bunch of white supremacist march through Philadelphia with American flags and then I waited for outrage. No outrage came… which made me angry. Then I realized the Ku Klux Klan marches with that flag, patriot front, proud boys, oath keepers, the three percenters, and I’ve never heard outrage about them using the flag for hate… so I said what a lot of us are thinking,” states Scott.
This is the system we’ve seen so many Democrats praise. It kills and forces many into the worst suffering yet this is the system they want for us in America. My family fled that Cuban hell. We MUST win in 2022 to make sure their socialist nightmare never becomes our reality. https://t.co/dQPGPTyX3y

Dr Yuval Noah Harari is a transhumanist and top advisor to WEF Klaus Schwab. He said, "In the past many tyrants and governments wanted to do it. But nobody understood biology well enough and nobody had enough computing power and data to hack millions of people. Neither the gestapo nor the KGB could do it. But soon at least some corporations and governments will be able to systematically hack ALL THE PEOPLE. NWO depopulation eugenics agenda happening now.

I've been asked many times if I still track the stock market. My answer is a resounding yes. The stock market is in my blood. I'm still tracking the markets, still doing research and still following economic news. This is the one industry that is the heart of global productivity. It is essential in pumping the necessary oxygen (capital) to corporations that in turn hire employees who will in turn produce the products and services that we all use. Capitalism is a very very important element to humanity. It is what fuels dreams, self-reliance and individualism!
