Queer people are getting their rights violated and removed in real time, and now we have ppl from all across the political spectrum arguing over a flag I have never seen before.

At this point, I'm convinced that the flag is an intentional psyop designed to sow division in the community over colours on a rectangle to distract from actual issues.

i don't think "adding race-specific stripes to a pride flag" is a bad thing, is "treating people differently based on skin tone" except in the most cringeworthy, pedantic, I See No Color way possible, or is "racist"—and i think that if you believe these things you probably will not be allowed to partake in discussions like this on our instance after today

If you say so. I don't think its ok to be racist, but if you think differently ban me for being against racism and saying a all inclusive rainbow is all inclusive.

That's such a strawman reply. Nobody in this conversation thinks it is okay to be racist. You would not be banned for being anti racist, and implying that you would be is part of what you're doing wrong here.
