They know what it's about but they try to make it about patriotism.

Unfortunately for them, patriotism is about Americans not the government or the flag. It's about the freedoms we have fought wars over and our military defends with their lives. It's about the freedom to live without fear of your government.

Black lives matter more than any flag.
