That's like saying the swastika shouldn't be associated with nazis because it's original meaning was a symbol of the sun.

Too many people look at that flag an associate it with racism now. The meaning has shifted. It's not something that will be undone.

So because people are ignorant we will let it slide??? What sense does that make and why do you except it??? You ask the rest of the world what our American flag means to them and see what negative ideas you get...

That's like saying the cross shouldn't be associate with nutjobs/genocide/murders/corruption/scandel because its original meaning was peace...
