Neither is burning the American flag, what's your point?

My point is that this meme says burning the gay pride flag is a hate crime, but it's not

In today's America it's probably also riskier to burn a Mexican flag here than an American one. Because it'd be "racist!" against Mexican settler colonialism from sea to shining sea. "Let these 40million dreamers post their foreign flags, you bigots!"

Putting aside the apparent controversy of hate crimes which almost exclusively concerns a crime against a minority for being a minority…

What constitutes a hate crime, one must first be charged with an actual crime before the hate crime charge is added in addendum.

For example, if you burned an American flag, or even an lgbt flag, and did not break the law in some other way…. Then it is not explicitly a hate crime. It can be determined a demonstration but still a protected act if one does it on property that they have permission to demonstrate.

Even I’m a bit confused on where demonstrations can be held. Presumably, they cannot be held on private property of the owner that you wish to demonstrate against. It would be a hate crime to burn a cross on the property of a black persons business, because there may be property damage, harassment, or trespass charge first. I assume you wouldn’t defend the KKK’s right to do this. No civilized Republican would.

However in the case where a woman demonstrated this, she not only set fire to a part of the private establishment and was primarily charged with vandalism. She did not bring a flag but set fire to someone else’s. This is the key part in how her act was considered a crime.

https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2023/02/22/woman-arrested-for-setting-pride-flag-on-fire--police-say

For those who do not know, if someone takes or sets fire to your American flag, or in the case of what happened to the bistro, sets fire to your flag while it is attached to your property, you may be relieved to find out that is absolutely a crime.

I would argue, and it’s possible, that the act of setting fire to the flag in this case may not constitute a hate crime if the owners, or workers, are not lgbt. But because the bistro may welcome customers who are, that act may be considered a discrimination against them on the part of the vandal. Vandalism is not protected speech, much in the same way that unauthorized spray painting graffiti on a public wall is also not protected speech. An act she also did.

Whites and heterosexuals are not exempt from hate crime protections. Because of the American flag represents all Americans, and most people who live in the US are American, so it can’t be considered a discrimination not considered a hate crime if someone burns your American flag. It is still a crime if the person setting it on fire did not originally own it.

I hope this clears things up for you.

As a queer person I could care less about flags being burned, and more about what the people burning those flags think about my legal right to exist. The difference between you and I is that my sense of self worth doesn't begin and end with a piece of fabric.
13 ups, 1y
And just like that, a self proclaimed "queer person" judged me without knowing me.
5 ups, 1y
The difference between you and me is grammar.

I totally support your right to exist as long as I don't have to hear about where you like to put your junk or what kind of junk you like to have inserted inside of you.

1. Where did you get this from?
2. Ok? Are you saying the political state of Afghanistan is preferable to the current political state of the United States?

Go and defend your settler colonial shithole all you want. What's really funny is that Conservatives go from ''Liberty and Freedom'' to Jihadism right in front of your eyes.

Theres a meme up asking for people to sign up for a local reparations charity gonna donate?
8 ups, 1y,
1 reply
Its my meme. I'm sure he'll donate. He believes in the cause after all!
I mean surely he's not just going to make some kind of convoluted excuse where he can't pay anything towards something he believes in until there's a giant national election and everyone has to pay, because that many never happen..
Surely he wouldn't be using that as an excuse to put his money where his mouth is? naa...

Wood ash is alkaline, so applying it to compost heaps helps to balance the tendency of compost to be more acidic. It also creates better conditions for composting worms, which will speed up decomposition. Compost that's less acidic is perfect for mulching around vegetables.

And flags too (but depends on which flags though)
