"Reversed" Betsy Ross Flag Stickers-Meaning

[Tudo]

I was just about to do my duty and purchase some Betsy Ross Flag Stickers on ebay and noticed that they sell "reversed" flags?

What does that mean? Inquiring minds......

FIIK. People need to spark and chill, in general. I don't give a rats ass how hard one tries. You can't erase history, nor should history be erased. If you have issues with this perhaps it is time to take a bath in "white out"

reversed display of the American flag is okay, upside down for distress.

I have no idea whatsoever as to what is going on. I heard a shoe company was going to put a flag on their shoe until Trump's most hated person of color interfered.
Why someone would want their country's flag underfoot is one of the puzzling ingredients is this conflict.
Coward and courageous butt heads once again.
Can any of those involved spell S T U P I D ?
Sure they can.

A reversed flag symbolizes the flag when it is flying, one side looks right the other is reversed.
The stars can not stay on your left as you walk around the flag.

If you look at the tail of a plane you will see how a reversed flag is used in real life.

The reversed flag is to picture the flag going forward.
If you look at a military uniform the flag is usually "reversed" on the right arm.
Picture the soldier's arm as the flag pole, the flag is "reversed" to display it as the it would appear if the soldier is moving forward.
On the left arm the flag is not "reversed". It would just appear the other way when moving forward.

Those are for lefthanded Americans.

I think it's to harken back to the days when blacks kept white slaves.

The flag is shown with the blue field of stars in the UPPER LEFT corner.
The flag reversed shows the blue field in the UPPER RIGHT corner.
The flag in distress shows the STRIPES in the upper half.

It’s been this way since Betsy Ross.
