I ‘ll tell you.Black and White are a social and/or political status. This is where the term colored persons come from. This is the only nation that has that type of identification although the state will not put your race on your id(look). Everyone that one might say is white is European(one of the 6 nations).Thats what the 6 white stripes on the corporate banner represent(not American Flag). Indian, Native American, African American, Black, Negro, Nigga all mean the same thing…….dead. These are Misnomers for the Indigenous Moors of Al Moroc. This is why European colonist of politics where fezes in private because this is the acient Moors Headdress and are pretending to be Moors. this is why Europeans are now white because they took the position of the Moors without a nationality.Everyone of the planet has one Exept the unknowing, minority, ward of the state negroes which means minor and unable to handle his or her own affairs.In law theyare civiliter mortus,mentally dead

It was during this period that Byrd – supposedly by then an EX-Klansman – was advising Grand Imperial Wizard Samuel Green on whom to appoint to important posts in the hierarchy of the hate group. In a letter to Green, Byrd urged, "the Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia" and "in every state in the Union."

A year later in 1948, Byrd opposed President Truman’s initiative to integrate the Armed Forces – and he did so using the language of a very much active Klansman.

The powerful Senate Democrat vowed then that he would "never submit to fight beneath that banner (the American flag) with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

"If Byrd said he thought the Klan’s main job was fighting communism, he’s either not being honest about why he joined – or he was a Klansman a lot longer than he now wants to admit," said the World War II vet.

The Mexican flag is back on the streets of Los Angeles after several years of political exile.

Four years ago, Miguel Haro was among half a million people who marched for immigrant rights in downtown L.A. At the urging of organizers and Spanish-language disc jockeys, he left his Mexican flag at home and waved an American flag instead.

Concerned that the Mexican flag carried the wrong message, Mexican American political leaders and other activists launched a largely successful effort to have people at public events, particularly protest marches, wave the American flag, believing it to be a better symbol for their case.

But with the World Cup in full swing, Haro proudly has affixed his Mexican flag to his Toyota RAV4 and cheered for the team of his parents. The American flag is fine for politics, he said, but this is soccer.My allegiance is to America, no doubt about it, and I’d think I wouldn’t have to prove it," said Haro, a 25-year-old utility worker. "But when I wave the Mexican flag for soccer, it’s strictly cultural. It’s showing I’m proud of my Mexican background."

After years of being downplayed at large political rallies that regularly punctuated the L.A. landscape, the World Cup has given the Mexican flag some of its big event presence back.

The red, white and green banners hang from cars on the freeway, wave inside countless bars and eateries during games and are even held proudly by cyclists riding through downtown L.A.

With the Mexican team having survived preliminary rounds and scheduled to play Sunday against Argentina in the Round of 16, fan loyalty — and flags — are likely to be at a highly visible peak.

To some, it is a disconcerting image.

In Southern California’s huge immigrant communities, home-nation flags are ubiquitous.

During the World Cup, sales have been brisk for South Korean flags as well as countries with big soccer followings such as Brazil, England and Spain. Displays of those banners are largely noncontroversial.

But the Mexican flag is different. The American political debate over immigration — illegal immigration in particular — is largely a debate over Mexicans. And few symbols in that debate have carried as much political weight as the Mexican flag.

The presence of Mexican flags at protests and marches over the last decade became flashpoints, with critics saying the displays suggested that immigrants felt loyalty to Mexico rather than the United States.

"Anytime a flag gets caught up in national politics, it becomes a potent symbol," said Jaime Regalado, a political science professor at Cal State L.A.

But the widespread display of the flag at soccer matches — and the relative lack of controversy surrounding it so far — suggest that the symbolism is less inflammatory when put in the context of sports, not politics.

One indication of that changed reality is that some advertisers are now getting into the act.

In a Volkswagen commercial, a parade of fans, including American and Mexican soccer fans, march loudly down separate streets while hoisting their nation’s flags, only to meet in the middle, where they face off tensely. Then, after a moment, they happily exchange their national team jerseys.

Reality may not be quite that cheerful, but David Carter, executive director of the USC Sports Institute, said sports fans "regardless of their background and ethnicity tend to compartmentalize sports and other, everyday activities."

"Showing your heritage during a sports event," he added, "is very different than showing your heritage in a controversial way during a political demonstration."

These days, the flag is also big business.

MIAMI (CBS4) ― Around 150 kids are filing a lawsuit against President Barack Obama to stop the deportations of their parents until Congress performs a massive overhaul of the U.S. immigration laws. All of the children are U.S. citizens and they argue their constitutional rights are being violated because they would likely have to leave the country with their parents.

Little boys and girls of all ages packed a rally at the American Fraternity on West Flagler in Miami holding a piece of the American dream, an American flag, in their hand. The assistant executive director with American Fraternity Mira Hernandez said, "A lot of these children are suffering economically, psychologically, emotionally. If they’re left with a single parent, a lot of them don’t have enough money to buy school uniforms."

The organization is helping these children who are United States citizens fight for the rights of their parents who are being deported because they are not citizens. "We are trying to avoid that; we’re trying to avoid these children being orphaned, being left without their parents," said Hernandez.

One of the smaller voices at the rally, 10 year-old Ronald Soza said, "I find it very unfair that they took my parents, ’cause they’re not criminals. I don’t understand why they should take them."

Soza’s mother was deported and he now lives with only his father. Soza is hoping the courts step in and put a halt to deportations. He said, "I think they should change the laws so they don’t take them."

Attorneys for the children said the parents came to the U.S. before a 1996 immigration law changed and made it more difficult for the parents to become legal residents.

The kids first brought the suit against former President George W. Bush’s administration. It was refilled in January in Miami.

You know, It seems to me that every other country out there who can not stand the US should be laughing their heads off. We have become so liberated that the Freedoms we have taken for granted are diminishing.
You can not pray without dirty looks
You can not hold an American Flag without offending others
You can not sing the Star Spangled Banner without getting knocked over the head
just some examples of what I’m thinking.
What do you think, Do you feel that we have become to liberated to the point that the outside world comes before our own citizens, and what I mean by this is that their feelings comes before our own. Let us not offened anyone, so we bend the laws and the rules to suit those who do not agree with our Freedoms?

The cats had long conversations with one another; they wore cunning little clothes and lived in a warm house beneath a kitchen stove. By the time Mrs. Cat called the drugstore for an order of chocolate malted mice, the class was wriggling like a bucketful of Catawba worms.

When you want to hang the American flag over the middle of a street, suspend it vertically with the blue field, called the union, to the north and east- west street. When the flag is displayed with another banner from crossed staffs, the American flag is on the right. Place the staff of the American flag in front of the other staff. Raise the flag quickly and lower it slowly and respectfully. When flying the flag at half-mast, hoist it to the top of the pole for a moment before lowering it to mid-pole.
