BLM Utah head who called American flag 'symbol of hatred' resigns, citing 'death threats'
The president of the Black Lives Matter Utah chapter announced she's stepping down and has fled the state, citing "death threats" over a Fourth of July Facebook post that called the American flag "a symbol of hatred."

Chapter founder Lex Scott made headlines last month after she argued on behalf of her group, which is not affiliated with the national BLM organization, that people who fly the U.S. flag are hostile toward people of color.

"When we Black Americans see this flag we know the person flying it is not safe to be around," the July 4 post read. "When we see this flag we know the person flying it is a racist. When we see this flag we know that the person flying it lives in a different America than we do. When we see this flag, we question your intelligence. We know to avoid you. It is a symbol of hatred."

In a tearful video posted on the group's Facebook page Sunday, Scott announced she was resigning from both her posts as group president and as president of the Utah Black History Museum.

"Over the last month you know that I received death threats like a flood," Scott wrote in an accompanying statement. "This is not new. The only new thing was when someone attempted to climb over my fence and instead of defending myself, I relaxed my body and told myself that I wished they would hurry and get it over with. I did not even want to fight back. The exhaustion of being on defense had worn on me. So prepared to die that I welcomed death and that is not living."
So... What happened? Is she dead now?
She died, but then she got better
