Because whether you agree with it or not, the US flag is not directly affiliated with slavery and genocide and all of these other atrocities that took place under its watch. Perception is reality to Americans, so the US flag gets a pass. It is what it is.
The Cherokee and many other Native Americans think otherwise.
They were fighting a war against a government that was looking to eradicate them.

I'm not arguing that genocide and slavery didn't exist under the US flag. My point is that to the average American, they simply don't give a shite. The perception from the average Joe is that all is well and has been well.
