And lest you think I am exclusively judging Francis Scott Key and the National Anthem through my 2018 lenses, here I unpack where leading thinkers and abolitionists of the day had a problem with him. He was problematic from Day 1.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1040290277079040000 …

Ask yourself this question. If a Nazi wrote a great song, would you overlook his Naziism because you loved the song? What if a 9/11 hijacker was also a great photographer, would you buy a book of his wonderful photos? That's Francis Scott Key to me. https://theintercept.com/2018/09/13/national-anthem-meaning-colin-kaepernick/ …

  Artists of today have done horrible things and people still enjoy their art. It’s about one’s threshold, principles or morals.
