He claimed that it was for his new video and the final edit will not show the flag on the ground. Yet, he made no attempt to apologize for the raw video and act of trampling all over the flag. He's an idiot, plain and simple. Sadly, I don't think this will adversely affect his album sales. White suburban kids, the majority of his record sales, won't see it as a big deal, and his black fans likely won't even hear about itl since the media outlets they rely on won't report on it negatively. Even if they did, I doubt they would care either.
