I'm Not Offended by the Betsy Ross American Flag


pc: Nike
Yes, the first American flag was made at a season of time in the USA when owning slaves was acceptable. 

Other than that, I am not bothered nor offended by it.  Sure, some hateful groups have appropriated it for their own purposes.  But I embrace it as part and parcel of the United States' history as a nation.   It's been accepted as such by the majority of people from the past to the present.

I rather admire the character qualities it conveys through its design. 


White signifies purity and innocence. Red hardiness and valor and Blue... signifies vigilance, perseverance and justice.Charles Thomson, designer of Great Seal
