    The US flag has already changed 26 times since 1777 and with the addition
    of Washington D.C. and possibly Puerto Rico the flag will be changed yet again.

    When the flag was created there were not many suitable colors and therefore
    it uses only two dye colors on white cloth. The Blue and Red are very binary and
    match the two political parties and reinforce the divide within the country.

    With modern dyes it would be possible to print the stripes rotating through the
    six woke colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.

    It would signify to the world a country ready to move on from our past.

    Do you agree we need a colorful flag?

    Ha! I don't think it matters. I display a WW2 era flag in my man cave. Back then, woke meant you were awake and working!

    It still does. It's used to differentiate people who understand that bigotry has taken over the right and are working to fix this, from those who are asleep and led by the nose by racist propaganda.

    While I am sure that was the original purpose, the definition morphed and now describes those who are easily offended and are often angry. Did you know that a Dorito is a nazi symbol?
