I don't get it. If you or your family moved here to escape the place you living, so you can have a "better life," then why the (ahem) are you flying the prior countries flag? Someone in your family fled from there to escape the political/religious persecution, the horrible living conditions and poverty and came here, to America, to hopefully provide a a better life for future generations of their family. Yeah, it might be your heritage...your HISTORY...but that's it, it's history. Here's a thought...try waving the American flag! That's where you live NOW. If you're so proud of your heritage, take your unhappy arse on back to there, see what it's like. Maybe then you'll understand what a privileged society we live in where you can turn a knob and get fresh clean water to drink and bathe in. Or have food readily available en mass. Sore subject with me. Went to Lowes, saw a gentleman in full fatigues there and paid for his stuff for him, thanked him for his service. Driving home and saw this, standing on the bridge over I-30. Twinkle Toes just waving his flag over the interstate. I've seen this DB around I-30 and Eastchase or Fielder many times impeding traffic on his bicycle. Wish I had a chipped diesel truck to roll coal on his arse everytime I saw him. I have a good place for that flag pole too!

Lots of variables
Six Flags flies six flags Not unusual for an Italian restaurant to fly an Italian flag, etc Hotels near airports at times fly multiple different flags depending on the nationality of the occupants Errrr, make that 5 flags now. Took down the Confederate flag. I'm assuming they will change their name then? Probably. The cancel culture has taken care of that flag and anything associated with it. That history no longer exists.
Family is everything! Life is precious. We don’t have forever. We have now. This moment. We can choose to love our lives now.

Half the people in Amarillo have a Mexican flag in their front yard. I kept my Stars and Bars and Swastica flags in my garage.

It's still in my history books right where it belongs. I guess if you get your history exclusively from flags then a lot of things don't exist to you.
