Singer Macy Gray argues US needs a 'new flag' to replace 'tattered, dated, divisive' Old Glory
Fox News
The American flag is "tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect" and needs to be updated, singer Macy Gray argued this week in an op-ed written for Juneteenth.
The five-time Grammy nominee's article appeared the same day President Biden signed a bill making Juneteenth a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the 1860s. "It no longer represents ALL of us. It's not fair to be forced to honor it. It's time for a new flag." "It’s time for a reset, a transformation. One that represents all states and all of us." "@MacyGraysLife had one hit song about 20 years ago and hasn’t done anything since." She argued that Old Glory has "replaced" the Confederate flag, implying it is a symbol of racism. "It no longer represents ALL of us," Gray wrote. "It’s not fair to be forced to honor it. It’s time for a new flag."
