The entire idea that the flag is something far greater than a piece of cloth is what patriotism is about. This country is losing its identity because there are far too many people that want to say the flag is just a piece of cloth. Its an ideal and a belief and pride in ones country that this is about, the flag represents that. There is not oppression anymore that isn't self imposed, everyone has a chance if they work hard and make the right choices. Poor white kids that cant escape deep poverty i am sure feel oppressed, should they protest?, not everyone can be millionaires but everyone has that chance, an opportunity for success if they act right, make good choices and work hard. If oppression really existed, Obama wouldnt have been president, (although i wish he wouldnt have been), pro athletes would not be mostly African American, we wouldnt have successful musicians and actors who are of other races besides white. We have great politicians who are African American like Dr. Ben Carson, or Allen West, we wouldnt have senators, reps, or mayors who are African American if oppression truly existed. If your culture is to smoke dope and talk shite to cops and not act respectable and not seek an education you probably arent going to be very successful, plain and simple, its not oppression, that is just your own fault for your own failures at that point.
