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/ …
When it comes to early American figures, modern (white) Americans want us to do the opposite of what Dr. King dreamed. They want us to actually ignore the "content of their character." Francis Scott Key was a MONSTER.https://theintercept.com/2018/09/13/national-anthem-meaning-colin-kaepernick/ …
I think most white people have a line that can be crossed in which they'll no longer enjoy the art of a person if they do A, B, or C. It just seems that owning & abusing & breeding & trading & selling Africans - then making their life a living hell for a living doesn't cross it
It was a good read in the sense that I didn’t realize how abhorrent a lot of the ideology Keys lived by were. But I feel like we have to separate that from the National Anthem. I just feel like you start treading into bad territory when you start protesting the anthem itself.
I like “America the Beautiful” instead.
