All she's doing is attacking a specific identity..
Apply a lot of her logic to, say, Judiasm. I know I've used Israel as an example before, but that's because they have a very strong identity based around their religion, race, country, ect..
"You shouldn't worship the Israeli flag. That's Idoltry."
"Why focus on our Jewish past, that included participation in the slave trade or aiding Nazi's to round up other jews?"
Bullshit.

She changed it, and everything she said was a lie, just like her anthem quote. You notice how Rob, Adam and Bash were all agreeing with what she said, which is kinda scary.
The original Star Bangled Banner tune is much longer than what we sing now.
Regardless of that part of hers being correct or not(I'm not sure), she effing pulled Trumpers pants down and then laughed at their little unpatriotic dicks
Assuming the line doesn't appear in the actual star spangled banner that we sing at football games, then her assertion that it's a racist song that none of us should respect seems to fall flat, IMO.
Kind of ironic that one the one hand we are supposed to denounce the Confederate flag as treasonous, and on the other hand reject the flag/anthem/traditions of our country in an effort to be PC because of our country's sketchy past. What are we left with, exactly?

Because America is just the Confederate Flag and the Star Spangled Banner song? Which btw didn't become the national anthem until 1931. LoL. Tell me again how you're not just another ridiculous Trumper.
FFS, slippery slope much? No one is saying you can't have a confederate flag hanging in your house or a sticker of one on your car. So go for it (though IMO, it's in such poor taste).
I did, you're using a slippery slope. I know it's popular to accuse who you see as your rivals of wanting to 'strip away everything that makes America', but it's just not true. A traitors flag, some statues and a song do not represent everything that is America; I don't care how hard some rube pretends.
Statues of traitors. Who btw are being moved to other locations, not being "torn down", at least the ones done by the city and not vandals.
You're now conflating the Confederate flag banning on government sites with the American flag. No one is trying to get ride of the American flag.
The Anthem, I don't have a problem with it in it's current 'clean' form, but once again, it wasn't much of a thing until 1931, so pretending now that if it was banned means America's history is erased is being a silly 'the sky is falling!' type.
