Students Waving Trump, ‘Betsy Ross’ Flags at Football Game Cause a Stir
by KATHERINE RODRIGUEZ
11 Sep 2016
A group of students in Michigan waving a Trump flag and a 13-star Betsy Ross flag at a high school football game caused a ruckus, with some parents saying the flags could be interpreted as symbols of white supremacy and nationalism.
The students were in the opponent stands at the Ottawa Hills home game against Forest Hills Central in Grand Rapids, Michigan, wearing red, white, and blue in honor of Sept. 11th, Michigan Live reported.
But that didn’t stop some parents and others from chiming in to say that the flags made them feel uncomfortable after photos and videos of the flags were posted on social media.
Briana Urena-Ravelo, co-founder of the Grand Rapids Black Lives Matter group, said the display was racist and intimidating to the predominantly black home team against a white school.
“Even if these flags were just about the visuals and not a call to action or the intentional allegiance to a toxic ideology, it serves to intimidate, and that is yet an issue,” Urena-Ravelo said in a Facebook post.
Matthew Patulski, a Grand Rapids Schools parent, penned an open letter to Forest Hills Schools leaders saying that the chanting of “USA,” “go green, go white,” and the flags “unsettled” him and others in the community.
Patulski said the Betsy Ross flag has become a symbol of white supremacy and racism.
Forest Hills Schools parent Patricia Gerondale, whose son brought the Trump flag to the game, said the students’ chanting and flags had nothing to do with race.
“It wasn’t done to put anyone down or cause any negative feeling,” she said.
Forest Hills Schools Superintendent Dan Behm said to Michigan Live that the students were participating in a red, white, and blue theme night and that no harm was intended by the students.
“There was no ill will intended,” he said to Michigan Live. “To the extent anyone felt harassed or intimidated, that was not the intent.”

Sure of course, they both represent nationalism. Nationalism is loving your country and Trump certainly loves our country as did Betsy Ross. It's time for "parents" who are citizens of this nation to teach their children to love our country and "parents" who are not citizens who think Trump and Betsy Ross are symbols of "white supremacy" to return to their own country of origin because you do not belong here and with these attitudes never will.
The CORRUPT MEDIA and of course BIGOT HILLARY are the ones selling these "white supremacy" lies to people who don't know any better. There's nothing we can do about it except push on to meet our goal to win the election for Trump so he can represent all Americans and make our country great again.
The big losers of this 2016 election will be the CORRUPT MEDIA and BIGOT HILLARY who thought they could swing an election courting rich donors and advertisers, spreading outrageous lies and playing phony race cards. Fortunately for the UNITED STATES, American Voters are very smart and well informed, so from here on, it will take a whole lot more than that to win a Presidential Election in the United States.Last edited by Judy; 09-12-2016 at 12:47 AM.

They want to erase our founding history because it doesn't involve hispanics, muslims, asians. what better way to force acceptance of their massive influx takeover than to replace our country's history. they should all go home and make their countries great instead of degrading ours and its founders, our flag and instilling racial division. Very unhealthy for the nation to support this nonsense. And it comes down from the top, obama.

Since when did the flag of the American Revolution become a symbol of racism and white supremacy?
