You know, That is a good question, and Though I am sure that a LOT of black peole love their country, and are very patriotic, I must agree that I havent seen a lot of black people flying The Flag. I do, however see A LOT of Hispanic people flying the flag. We have a flag that we fly appropriatly on the proper days, (I'm white) I'm not trying to start anything here, But your observance seems correct to me. Yes, I agree that black people have been treated badly and unfairly at times in this country, But I try To treat all people respecfully untill they give me reason not too. Just the way I would like them to treat me.

i think it would be kind of odd to see a black man wondering down the street waving a flag. however, i've driven through many "black" neighborhoods in newark and nyc and have seen lots of homes with flags out front and "support our troops" stuff. i also see many blacks with american flags on the back of their cars and trucks.

Because you're not looking hard enough? There are plenty of Black people who are patriotic and who display American flags.

Let's see how they would feel if they were waving a confederate flag. First they would have to stop picking cotton to do it, then they would get whipped if they didn't do it with enough zeal.

It depends where you are located or people just don't want to.
