For the vast majority of people in America - including African Americans - that is NOT what they think the flag stands for.

Have you talked to the vast majority of people in America of what they think the flag stands for? Have you listened to black, Hispanic people of color and whether they feel equal and not concerned about police brutality? Have you asked them how they feel about an anthem written by Francis Scott Keys, a slave owner, who prosecuted abolitionist and thought people of color were intellectually and morally inferior to white people? His 3rd verse basically triumphed at the bombing/killing of said slaves. I don't have a problem with the flag or the anthem but I can certainly see why some people might.
