Democratic presidential hopeful Julián Castro on Wednesday praised Nike’s controversial decision to pull shoes featuring the Betsy Ross flag, saying the early flag design that represents the Thirteen Colonies evokes pain among some Americans, much like Confederate symbols. “I was glad to see that,” the former Housing and Urban Development Secretary said on CBS News about Nike’s decision to scrap the Betsy Ross design, the Washington Free Beacon reported. “And my hope is that they didn’t just do it to do it — that they understand the significance there. “Look, there are a lot of things in our history that

Is there anything about our glorious history that Democrats do not hate? Will Castro spend Independence Day in the fetal position?

I’m boycotting the Mexican flag. It offends me because it glorifies the oppression of the Aztecs and other first citizens.
Embarrassed this guy is from Texas

He needs to go back to middle school and take an American History course, while he's at it he can take high school Spanish. That flag is from the 18th century, that is a time where all countries were practicing slavery. Slavery had been a part of the human condition dating back to antiquity and was not unique to the American colonies. He should also note that over 95% of the trans-Atlantic slave trade was destined for South America, Central America, and the West Indies which were predominantly Spanish and Portuguese colonies. So, which other flags have racist histories?

Why is he even running for President if that's how he feels toward this country. Under what flag will he swear an oath if elected President (which is next to impossible), the Mexican flag?

As usual, no specifics or facts from the leftist politician. How and why does the American flag evoke pain among some Americans, and why should we care?

This guy and his fellow travelers have no concept of being an American. Everything is "hurtful" to them. God forbid, someone should be proud and happy to live in this country. What they want is to dictate to others how to live their lives they way they want you to.Well Mr. Rising Star, i would like you to pack your things and go back to Mexico or wherever your ancestors came from and don't let the door hit you in the a** on your way out! You disgust me!

Is the democrat theme song "Feelings?" Because that's all they have, nothing more than feelings; no concrete proposals or programs, except for buying votes and pandering.

Kaeperprick is a moron. The sad thing is Betsy Ross was also an Abolitionist. Anyone with any kind of education would know this.

Not only did this guy not learn his family's native language, he obviously also missed out on any American History. Going through life ignorant and loud-mouthed is going to be a rough road for baby Fidel.

And to think this America hating commie wants to be president of the nation that affords him the privileged of running.
I hope he burst in fame long before his fellow reds can vote.

What a nasty, hateful, lying piece of anti-American garbage this Castro puke is.
He comes from troublemaker, hate-America parents, so what can you expect?

These people are such tools........ For starters, the so called "Confederate Flag" was actually the battle flag. Adopted by the south for battle because the ACTUAL flag of the Confederacy, the Stars and Bars, was often confused with Old Glory on windless days.

Another 'rising star' of the Democrat party. Now they are trying to out-ignorant each other. By 2020 Dems will want the White House burned to the ground and the flag replaced with a hammer and sickle.
