Outrage swirled as a video of rapper Lil Wayne trampling on an American flag was released on the Internet. Wayne defended his actions in a post on Facebook.
"It was never my intention to desecrate the flag of the United States of America. I was shooting a video for a song off my album entitled 'God Bless Amerika'. The clip that surfaced on the Internet was a camera trick clip that revealed that behind the American Flag was the Hoods of America," he said. "In the final edit of the video you will see the flag fall to reveal what is behind it but will never see it on the ground."
Last week the Home and Garden network received complaints about using an American flag as a table decoration.
It is the editorial position of The Truth Is Viral that the American flag is not a table decoration, and regardless of what the end product of Lil Wayne's video may look like, it is never OK to purposely let an American flag touch the ground, much less trample on it.

To me it stands for all of those that sacrificed their lives so that we can the opportunities we have today.

He is a moron, and a puppet. Some, myself included, believe he is yet another mouthpiece for something sinister.

I was reading this the day before. Lil Wayne is an entertainer and like the majority of them they would do anything for attention. Controversy breeds attention and today it doesn't matter if they're on drugs or doing something else stupid. I just wish there would be entertainers who do things celebrating then doing something stupid and obscene.
I leave symbols to the symbol-minded
