BLM Utah head who called American flag 'symbol of hatred' resigns, citing 'death threats'
Fox News
The president of the Black Lives Matter Utah chapter announced she’s stepping down and has fled the state, citing “death threats” over a post that called the American flag "a symbol of hatred."
"When we Black Americans see this flag we know the person flying it is not safe to be around," the July 4 post read. "When we see this flag we know the person flying it is a racist. When we see this flag we know that the person flying it lives in a different America than we do. When we see this flag, we question your intelligence. We know to avoid you. It is a symbol of hatred." In a tearful video posted on the group's Facebook page Sunday, Scott announced she was resigning from both her posts as group president and as president of the Utah Black History Museum.More Related News
