So y'all are putting your hand over your hearts to worship the wrong flag when you sing the song.
The flag changes when new states are added to the country, with new stars to reflect the addition. There were two "first" American Flags: the "Betsy Ross" flag, and then the official 13-star flag. The Star Spangle Banner was a 15-star flag representing the USA from 1795-1818.
If you're not okay with someone even bringing up the notion of changing the flag, then you're not okay with the whole point of the USA - which is to enact change. If you're not okay with change, go live in a country where change isn't allowed. I hear Saudi Arabia is lovely this time of year.

You CAN’T be serious! How about concentrating on something with real substance like the insane level of black on black gun violence that’s occurring in certain cities because the urban black culture rebels against practical law enforcement & the liberal leaders pander to those who would sacrifice all law and order to maintain votes & their de facto power of governance ( or lack therof) over the urban people who can’t or won’t recognize that they are being enslaved by the constant Liberal reinforcement that they are victims of the so called systemic racist bogeyman!
It’s time to focus on the things that will improve our country and create a more perfect union, not division. Those that propagate this oppressive notion that our nation is systematically racist need to be purged or ignored as it is a fact that the USA is the most desirable nation to live in. There is obvious & decisive levidence for those with a true sense of logic & common sense to declare we are NOT a racist nation! Quite the contrary. We are the defender of equality & freedom is this misguided world we live in. Why would countless immigrants want to come here if we’re so racist??
The whole point of America is NOT to enact change! It is to protect FREEDOM plain & simple
Change our flag?? WHY? It IS the symbol of freedom. It STANDS for freedom! It has been defended with the lives of countless brave souls that would DEFEND that freedom at all cost!
To suggest otherwise is an insult to those who have given their lives for over 250 years in America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
