When the Star Spangled Banner says that the slaves blood should wash away the British away I don't think it stands for black people. The country is more than the flag. It is more the Constitution. Every country including totalitarian states have flags. They don't have a Constitution that protects their ppl. Maybe he doesn't run off bc this is where he lives and he just wants to make it better. Again the laws "protecting" the flag are not constitutional. I think Jefferson was smart enough to know what was right for the country. No not everything is about race but CK's protest was about how minorities have been abused.
