Senior writer for The Root says 'Anyone who flies an American Flag on a pickup truck is a whole different breed of white people'

Michale Harriot, a senior writer for The Root, tweeted that “Maya Gay was right” and “Anyone who flies an American Flag on a pickup truck is a whole different breed of white people”:

There’s nothing wrong with the American flag but Mara Gay was right.

Anyone who flies an American Flag on a pickup truck is a whole different breed of white people.
