Why the fuck doesn't the Google doodle feature the American flag?

I'm not obsessed with the flag, but come on. This idea that the American flag is a RACIST! symbol has to end.

It seems like the only flag that isn't celebrated in America is the actual American flag.

I’m (regrettably) involved in my HOA and every year, an elderly woman in the neighborhood calls me a couple days before the holiday requesting I send out an email to the neighborhood admonishing anybody not displaying the American flag on the 4th.

If Google is going to do that they should go all the way. Make the doodle a Caesar salad.

I guess it's more fun to be a victim regardless of how pathetic you appear.

I get it is kinda an in thing around here to give JORR a hard time about stuff and I do appreciate that.

But in the big picture of things in our country he is kinda right. It is becoming seen as a negative thing to be a proud American. To support the flag and such things like that. It seems to get worse each year.

They try not to repeat their Doodles and I'm sure over the course of their history they've used the American flag a couple of times.

Today's logo is the Google name outlined with red white and blue stripes, a montage of the states, and a fireworks gif. I don't really see anything wrong with that but of course when you have to be the victim everyday that logo is the end of the world.

No it isn't.

Why hasn't anyone started a thread? Why does CFMB hate America?

Cognitive dissonance always seems to be easier to MANY folks, until reality cracks them hard, upside the head.

The responses here, and MANY other places to Biden's debate performance are the most recent example of this.

There is stuff around all the time about how the flag is now a symbol of bad things.

Both of these quotes are from the USA today this very week. There are plenty more if you look around. And it just gets more and more every year.

Quote:
At times, the American flag can evoke emotions of shame and embarrassment for Beals.

“It makes me a little bit sad. I love having pride for this country, but there's definitely that moment of hesitancy now when I see an American flag,” she said.

Still, Beals believes the flag can represent values it’s long been associated with − saying this year’s presidential election will be a "fight for the flag.”

“I think it’s really going to depend on what the outcome is, and seeing what Americans are feeling. Right now, it doesn’t really feel like the flag represents freedom.”


Quote:
Growing up in Georgia, the American flag reminded Kia Smith of the Fourth of July, family, and cookouts. Now 42, her experiences abroad and observing political movements have made her skeptical of wearing or displaying the flag.

Smith said she first questioned the flag when studying abroad in Tunisia in 2006. Following the United States’ declaration of its war on terror, she said people there felt the flag represented anti-Muslim sentiment – something she had to explain she did not hold just because of her nationality.


"As a Black woman in America, it was really interesting to be placed in a situation where I was seen as an American and confronted with a lot of the imperialism and colonialism that comes with being American,” Smith said. “Seeing what people outside of the United States, how they view the flag and American policy and values, was the first time when I had a moment of like, ‘what is this really?'”

Smith said she again felt like the flag did not represent her when it was flown by groups like the Tea Party, Make America Great Again Republicans, and Black Lives Matter counter-protesters.

“The only time I honestly feel tension is around the Olympics because there are so many incredible athletes and I want to have pride,” Smith said. “If I put on the U.S. flag, it’s not just about the games. There are deeper historical, cultural, and political messages behind that flag that don’t align with my lived values.”

There have been Americans that hate America since 1776, but now it’s UNPRECEDENTED.

There are way less flags on the 4th in the Chicago area, then there was when I was a child. And through my 30's for that matter.

It's not even close today actually. I drove by a Catholic high school yesterday and the front lawn is full of flags.

Not a single flag on our block today when we got back home.

Not a single one? Not even at your house? Why do you hate America?!

We handed out about 4000 flags in our 4th of July parade today. We did our part.

I grew up close to where you live.

It was a main part of the 4th growing up. The whole town it seemed would get together for a parade and celebration

I wasn't aware that the displaying of a flag was the only way to be proud to be an American. The folks that want Russia and China to take over America's place in the world or the Palestinian lovers aren't stopping anyone from loving America.

Today is thursday. MANY, including almost everybody in your industry, has to work tomorrow. I wouldn't put too much sock on the amount or size of celebrations that happen when the holiday falls in the middle of the week. Even Chicago has no fireworks today.

I'm guessing JORR is also the type to think playing "Born in the USA" is acceptable in 2024.

Part of the problem is people wrapping themselves in the flag to highlight their extraordinary patriotism while painting those with different positions as unpatriotic. The love it or leave it crowd that doesn’t get the irony.

Edit: see Spaulding’s attempt at humor for reference.

We should extend waving of the pride flag around and add the Palestinian one. That's real patriotism, they are the good people.

That does appear to be true. Maybe we've always been brats and it's just being amplified today.

Way too many people wearing tampons in today’s society for me.
