      My Latest. It's true - most @NFL players aren't protesting the National Anthem. They are protesting injustice & police brutality. But I took a much deeper dive into the life of Francis Scott Key & the National Anthem - AND...I am protesting the anthem.https://theintercept.com/2018/09/13/national-anthem-meaning-colin-kaepernick/ …

      Not only did Francis Scott Key own dozens of human beings, his family owned hundreds. They built their wealth that way. And as District Attorney of DC, Key fought against abolitionists tooth and nail his entire life.https://theintercept.com/2018/09/13/national-anthem-meaning-colin-kaepernick/ …

          I've been pushing Tom Petty's 'I Won't Back Down' as a replacement for the last year or so.

          As I often mention, when it comes to this particular White Supremacist...his poem he wrote, and having THAT conversation, people are not ready for that. It makes them "Uncomfortable".pic.twitter.com/e77eYcaokI

          We went to @FortMcHenryNPS in July and I don’t remember seeing anything about Key owning slaves. I wonder why they left that part out.pic.twitter.com/6ED9v2a2vf

          I always believed that "America the Beautiful" should be the national anthem.
