New York Times Redesign of the US Flag.
What ever could go wrong? AW1Rod sends.
New York Times publishes redesigns of the American flag, Twitter mockery ensues
Some designs emphasized American decline, loss of values
By Lindsay Kornich
The New York Times published an opinion essay on Tuesday that imagined new designs for the American flag, some of which emphasized divisions and decline in the country.
“The American flag is a potent piece of national iconography, but its design shifted frequently until the early 1900s. What if it were redesigned today? We asked artists and graphic designers to try,” the Times wrote. “Some are functional designs, others artistic renderings; some represent America as it could be, others how the artist sees the country now.”
One design from Andrew Kuo shows a flag split into four rectangles with one square consisting of red and white stripes while the other three are solid blue, yellow, and green rectangles. According to the artist the red stripes represent the past, the white stripes represent the future, while the solid colors represent “untapped potential,” “repairing systemic racism,” and “taking care of our planet.”

Here is a copy of the lecture he went to in art school:

And these are the people who’s rights I defended.
WTF is wrong with me…..
There is nothing wrong with you, SFL.
They are lost in a morass of the sheer stupidity in which they were brought up.
Betsy Ross, Francis Scott Key, and millions of people who bled and died for Old Glory…weep.
Even us Unreconstructed Rebels proudly Pledge Allegiance to our Flag…AND to the Principles for which it stands. Hell, maybe they should just have us all bend over (ht 2 Jamie)…or run up a white flag…NO! Let’s run up a Black Flag with a Red (No Quarter) Saint Andrew’s Cross.
Knife sharpening time girls and boys…dem yanky commie mofos are really pissing me off. If America and its History/Symbols are so distasteful to you, why don’t you just GTFO?
I have a feeling if the left pisses people off enough with their designed-to-fuck-us-up ideas those still clutching to pride in what America used to stand for will never bow down to it. The country will simply tear itself apart — for real, not just in terms of civil unrest or riots. Perpetual nation you say? Bah! If they can revise history and deny obvious truths then surely anything can happen.
Design your flag, fools!
Personally I am just about at my absolute limit with current America. It started under Obama and has gotten progressively worse to the point where almost everything the US does or represents in 2021 is evil and worthy of destruction from the face of the earth. Gay marriage and pushing LGBT mental illness along with trans everything all at the same time attacking the core family unit at every step. Anti White racism. Both the media, government and disgusting large corporations working in conjunction to punish Whites for a myrid of insane pshycobabbles. Asians get attacked by blacks and somehow that is White Supremecy? Sorry I have a Doctorate and no matter how much educational doublespeak we can use that just makes zero sense, and is just further racism against the majority. Cohen, I mean Covid 19. Governments closing churches? Closing all but large corporations who are all political donors. Censorship on a major scale never seen in America before. All over a so called “pandemic” that nobody I know knows anyone who has actually got Covid 19. Even if you get it you have a %99 chance of recovery from it unless you are over 80. So the entire population is supposed to throw our life savings away, stay in our homes, and get everything we say online censored and added to a government intel database. The purging of the Military, Promotion of feminism which has devolved into “men are bad”, firing you to force you to take a unproven vaccination while at the same time daring to claim that the government, media and big corporations care about our health. I am so fed up with it. TAH has not, does not, and will not condone violence against those of different opinions. Comments like these will not be tolerated, and will be deleted. Continuing to utter threats may result in removal from the blog. AW1 They can take the flag and do whatever they want with it. Once they started hoisting the pervert flag next to it at every embassy it ceased to be a symbol of good. While… Read more »
Know no one who died of Covid? Both of my kids’ godfathers and my oldest pool playing buddy, all vets, died from it. You can get to know them. Listen to some John Prine and Charley Pride while you’re at it. Don’t expect to get an ICU room in some states because of it.
Flying over D’s Cantina, 24/7. No surrender. No Quarter.

SFC D, these two are flying over the Château de Skyjumper, 24/7/365 for a number of years now.
(All though one appears smaller, both flags are the same size…3′ X 5′)
Leftists want to have a white flag.
Then a white flag would be racist according to those whom aren’t white.
So they’re French?
Good one. 🙂
Want us to have a white flag, anyway. (They’ll have an all red one with a yellow smiley face, like the USSR or Red China only peculiar to America).
The Biden administration could adopt the white flag easily. Symbolically it’s being waved at the southern border like it’s a Motel 6 commercial… we’ll keep the lights on for you.

Next we’ll have leftie dumbasses wanting THAT to be flown over US Embassies and at pro sports games.
Well that’s just factually and demonstrably false. It just wasn’t into US code until then.
Plus the design concept shifted, from adding a stipe and a star for new states, to just adding a star, and the subsequent field revisions the new stars entailed. It will “shift” again, if/when we add legitimate new states (potentially Puerto Rico, who knows where else) or if the progs start certifying city/states like DC.
Here’s the bigger question to me –
Why are we, or anyone, giving this any attention? I get it, sort of, that those whose greatest accomplishment is coloring inside the lines and wiping their own butt, need to celebrate what they’ve done. It’s akin to taking a photo of the curiously shaped turd in the bowl. Crude, silly, meaningless and maybe good for a laugh but adults don’t reshare the photo in adult society…except to mock the original photographer. Then again, there is a percentage of the population that would call it art and pay crap loads of money to own it.
I say let them push it out. Their fellow toddlers will throw a fit and demand the contents of their diapers be considered. Where’s the square to represent the African diaspora? Where’s the square to represent Women? What about all the oppressed people merely yearning to be free streaming over our borders?
If only there were a time honored, universally recognizable symbol representing all the hopes and dreams of humanity to be free.
Someone needs to redesign the New York Times.
