There is no real proof that Betsy Ross was the designer and seamstress of the original flag of the United States. It was after her death that a Grandson brought forth the story about her and the flag. There are no government records or any official correspondence linking her to the flag. Sorry Guys.

But there are old records of her being paid for making flags and ensigns for the PA Navy during the war.
So maybe she did and maybe she didn't make that first 13 star in a circle design but the legend is now firmly embedded in the American mind.

Family support is the first rung in the ladder, that two parents work to ensure the success of their children. Education is the second rung. Both of those are priority.

Sounds great. Stalin used the same principal you have used. His favorite quote was, "give me a child to the age of 5, and I will give you a communist for life."
Remember something very important, you are raising YOUR children right, but many others unfortunately are bringing their children up in a home that despises minorities and teach hate to their children. And guess what they grow up to be?

Being a racist is a two way street.
It all boils down to education. How can you expect to get a good job and progress without it?

You of little faith. Many, many racist's exist among us. They hold down GOOD jobs and progress quite nicely and many are well educated. If they were easy to spot their would be a lot less of them than their are. But limiting them by your definition sort of makes you a racist too.

The idea that the "Bettsy Ross" 13 star in a circle flag is a symbol of slavery is a sick joke or out of pure ignorance.

Kapernick and all of those like him should pack their shit and git. They don't like living here they are free to take their collective asses and move back to the home continent "Africa" any time they like . They can pick their country of choice to plant their "roots". Then they can live the high life in Africa and see what opportunities they have to make as much money as they do here, I believe the standard of living will be diminished somewhat, but then again they may like it. Don't hold your breath for the sucking sound of them leaving because we all know they don't have the guts to leave they have it to good here. They keep proving over and over that they are all mouth and ass. If the slaves were not brought over here he wouldn't be here to bitch about all of the money he is making to live " Large".
