Do you honestly think that BLM added black and brown to the flag because of that?

No. Just a colorimetric musing. ;D

The adding of brown and black to the flag is stupid. The rainbow flag represents everyone, because none of the colours of the rainbow represents race.

Hot pink Sex
Red         Life
Orange Healing
Yellow Sunlight
Green Nature
Turquoise Magic/Art
Indigo Serenity
Violet Spirit

On top of that, by adding race, it excludes and no longer includes. There is no brown and there is no black in the rainbow (and no white either)

Thanks for your interpretation of the colors.  But it could be argued that black is what you get when you combine all of the colors as pigments and white is what you get when you combine all of the colors as transmitted light.
I agree tat they should leave the flag as it is, however.

Not everything that is pro-black/brown is anti-white.

It is when in the name of "diversity" they exclude whites, like we have here.   Just like everything else, BLM and it's offshoots are hijacking the pride flag for themselves.

Obviously, if they exclude whites, that is not true diversity and I too denounce this.

Did someone hijack your acct dude?  You're sounding way too reasonable today  :cheers:

No, it's me.  The lack of hysterical name-calling may have prompted me to try to see the other side of things. BTW, that is what this forum should be about.  And I can now be sure that Frederick and Strangeloop are not the same person.

The new flag is nothing but more of the same from BLM and it's offshoots.

I think the minorities take the white majority for granted.  There are certainly some that harbor hostility to whites, but that is certainly not universal.  Any assumption that it is just promotes racism on both sides.

Liberal scum, in their core they are true racists, thinking that because you're dark-skinned you're separated from everyone else and entitled to more stripes in this flag even though you were already included in it in first place. Extra brown stripe included, it's not supposed to represent "Latin" as they say since that's not a skin color nor a race, it's actual meaning is "more black people" or "I'm more important than you". Fuck asians, fuck middle-easterners, fuck whites, fuck everyone except me.

@pppucci:

Would it satisfy you guys if they added a white stripe?

IMO, no.  What about "LGBTQ" signals anything about race or ethnicity?  It has nothing to do with skin color….

I think your point is legitimate and well-taken.  However, labelling it as an attack against whites distorts the issue.  Not everything that is pro-black/brown is anti-white.

Imagine how fucking insane liberals would have gone if we added a white stripe.

It looks like we have a new gay pride flag, with a black and brown stripe at the top.

Apparently, diversity matters, as long as we shun the crackers.

Yep, that new flag is disgusting, offensive on so many levels and flat out racist.

Moonbat representatives John Lewis and "Auntie" Maxine Waters have introduced two entries into replacing the current USA flag if Puerto Rico becomes a state.  They say that this flag will solve the problem of having to remake the flag every time a new state is added, AND it reflects the agenda of the major city centers across the nation.
