Did the colors of the American flag change?

It’s peculiar how we’ve become enamored with displaying the flag. Do other countries do this? historically have other countries?

 

The 'no quarter' flag and its threat to America

"There has been a rise in sightings of all-black American flags in Florida and across the country. While not only sinister in appearance, the meaning is even more so: “no quarter.” Their sharp spike began with a tweet about a police officer in Illinois who hung this flag outside his house and was unapologetic about it.

"I have personally seen an increase of no quarter flags, hats and tattoos along my travels. It also was visible during the Jan. 6 coup attempt. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) even called for “no quarter” in response to social justice protests in the summer of 2020.

"So what does this flag signify? It means people will be killed instead of taken prisoner in the “second civil war/race war.” To quote the Law Insider legal dictionary: 'No quarter will be given means refusing to spare the life of anybody, even of persons manifestly unable to defend themselves or who clearly express their intention to surrender. '”


"No quarter runs afoul of U.S. law as well as the Geneva Convention, which governs actions of international war. Although our Constitution provides for the death penalty for traitors, the practice of no quarter was banned in the United States in 1863 during the Civil War. It was originally created by Franz Lieber and enacted by President Abraham Lincoln to ensure Union troops did not exact revenge on Confederate soldiers, in order to heal the country. The Leiber code ensured that Confederate lives would be spared, despite the anger and resentment felt by Union loyalists. It was the first modern codification of the laws of war."

 

If any doubt remains about the intentions of those who wear or display black and white flags, consider this from an internet merchant who sells many different flags to a certain type of people. I won't post a working link but the discerning reader will be able to determine what sort of merchandise is sold on the site at the dixiegiftshop.

Under Armor has black and white flag shirts simply for fashion. Even all white flag on a black or green shirt.

There isn’t a uniform meaning. Heck, if you ever paid for a team shirt to be made, one color shirt screens are way cheaper than multi colored.

 

You hang out with white bros?

 

These colors don't run, but they've been known to sashay.

 

If desecrating the flag as MAGA has done is acceptable, then so is this flag.

 

These kinds of flags make my blood boil. I'm a purist when it comes to our flag. Maybe it's because I served in the military. The American flag is to unify; all these other flags are to divide. Especially loathsome are those who fly a TRUMP flag beneath the American one.

 

Yes, lots of other countries fly their flag to a much greater extent than here in the states.
