how can anyone feel proud in being American in the first place is beyond me, especially minorities in America, they seek rights and respect, while loving a country that has none for the rest of the world, the US has oppressed literally every country in the world throughout its history. The US manipulates the world at its will, starts wars for its own benefits whenever it feels like, it's responsible for millions of deaths in the world more than any other country in the history of mankind, even more so than the colonial powers that created it. American leaders are the real dictators of the world. It's just a fucking song and flag. Americans being offended by this makes me laugh, it's pathetic, like, aren't there more important issues to worry about?
