I mean, if you’d written ‘ain’t no whack in the Union Jack’ I’d think you were making a point about it being doomed to failure to even attempt to rewrite a contentious slogan to try to shift the discourse away from the horrible thing to a more positive thing, but as you’ve opted for the unabashedly racist slogan I guess you’re just facetiously misinterpreting my point.

I can get behind that. I've experienced it myself, when I tried to reclaim the phrase 'ain't no black in the union jack' at a BLM march.
I patiently explained that it was simply a statement of fact about the pigmentation in our national flag, and that we should treat the phrase as one which could be morally neutral, and even useful for those who dabble in the printing industry.
But for some reason they simply kicked my fucking head in.
