I feel like we need to debate what is meant by "a normal".

(current flag of Alabama and damn near the current flag of Florida too)

But both of those flags were based on the confederate battle flag.

[Eddie Teach]

Ok, Mono.

But the flag design, I like.  If it wasn't so associated with slavery and white supremacy, I might have one here.  I really like the colors and design.

It's a cool looking flag.

Then again the Third Reich's flag looks cool too.  Speaking as a guy who has a 16' flag pole in his front yard, doesn't mean I'm ever going to fly either flag.

I kind of want to get a US flag to put up on certain occasions (4th of July for example), but these days that might be seen as rather provocative.

Why would you want to display an American flag?

Maybe he wants to be neighborly?

Ok, no Americans will see it, unless they are lying at the border and say they are going to Alaska.  So what is the point?

why not?
Maybe Valmy will raise a French flag on July 14th, yet not many French will see it

It harms no one.

Alabama's was based on the 60th Alabama Infantry Regiment's flag, with a white saltire on blue (Scotland).  Florida's history is a bit more disputed.

California has a bear.  Way cooler.

I have to wonder if my state will strip the slaveholder off of its flag.

Displaying it on July 4th, as he suggested, could be a neat homage to the best principles that America should stand for.  Beeb's personal gesture to honour Reagan's shining city on a hill. Myth or not, there is an America that should be.  And anyways why else have a flagpole in your front unless to personally honour important dates and events, Canadian or otherwise.  I'm sure he will fly a Union Jack at half mast if Elizabeth II decides to not become a lich. He probably flies a Blue Bombers flag when they win (very rare) and thats possibly worse than displaying a swastika.

60 years later, some Black now envision segregation as a solution.

There has always been a nationalist strain in the black community wanting that. Being nationalists you should support them

USA is our closest neighbour and ally - what on earth would be wrong with choosing to honour that by flying their flag?

No Blue Bombers flag but I do fly a Jets flag when they are in the playoffs.  I do want to point out though that if the CFL doesn't play this year, it just means the Bombers are still the reigning champs into 2021.

I have to correct you though - if the Queen passes on, it is the Canadian flag that flies at half mast, as she is the Queen of Canada.

But it is just as likely for a Trumpist to display the American flag rather than a gesture of lament that the myth is undone.  So a pretty confusing gesture for those who see it.

Bb may have given his own reason, but I have not seen it.
