about the knowledge of Jackie Robinson and his army days, who many don't know he was brought up on court-martial charges and why, and many don't know about Black soldiers that were told to go to war or go to jail during the Vietnam war. For which Ali said…No, I won’t go kill other brown people for this country, and I can’t get peace and respect right here in my own country. Yet, try as we do, to get white privilege to understand all Americans rights. My First Amendment rights are just as important and fought for in wars abroad and at home. Well, we have been seeing and reading White Privilege doesn’t give a damn as they disrespect us, even more now since many of us has chosen to support our brother who took a seat. Our First Amendment rights and all rights…they need to show honor and respect when we don't stand for the Star-Spangled Banner.
Oh, by the way, does anyone know about the stanza that's missing in the Star Spangled Banner? Yes…there is a stanza that has been “deleted-omitted”! Do they even know what that stanza is about
(It’s about stopping the slaves from running to the freedom that the British was offering during the war of 1812. Then there is the author of that song. Do they even know about Francis Scott Key and what he was and what he did? Do they even know the story about the Black woman who jumped off a bridge because she didn't want to be turned back into a slave because of him? Talk about disrespect! Learn your history people! We all can’t disrespect our minds from expanding our education about self and country and the complete story of the history of this country and not the selective ones. Let's look at America as a whole not a piece, and build on a promise not that status que of oppression of people of color and their rights. Let me be frank when I say… you can’t tell us we are disrespecting the flag by not standing, a First Amendment right mind you, and then turn around and disrespect my rights not to stand. And not to mention then disrespect our homes, churches , businesses, and gathering by walking past me with your Second Amendment proudly showing. Oh the hypocrisy! Can’t tell us when and where we should stand up and how. The
privileged have no standing as we sit down. To question our motives of when and where and what other possible reasons a person might be taking a stance, is exactly what has been done each and every time a Person of Color takes a stand…and I mean every time.
