It’s not fair to be forced to honor it.
It’s time for a new flag."
Gray recalled that during theJanuary 6 insurrection on the Capitol, many protesters waved the American flag.
She also pointed out that the symbols on the flag need updating.
“America is great.
Pure, it ain’t,” she wrote.
“It is broken and in pieces.”
But the other elements would get an upgrade that represents the diversity of the nation.
“What if the stripes were OFF-white?
What if there were 52 stars to include D.C. and Puerto Rico?
194 of them don’t have the American flag.
Other critics called Gray a “one-hit wonder” who was just looking for some publicity.
One commentertweeted: “So…we can redesign the American flag COUNTLESS times and cheer.
We can also use that flag to beat a police officer within an inch of his life.
We can wear that flag or insert a thin blue line in it too.
But Macy Gray says a redesign is needed and heads implode?”
