"Colin Kaepernick Is Righter Than You Know: The National Anthem Is a Celebration of Slavery"

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

It's not like there's a tv channel, or textbook in school pushing facts like these. I had no clue of the third verse of this song until today. But I can guarantee you I'm still more aware and knowledgeable about these general topics than most of these people that knew this random tidbit.

sorry it just show's one is either young, naive or just straight blind , deaf and dumb (no diss) but speaking on one's conscience.

Notice how the media keeps calling it a "protest" to elevate it to some kind of act of treason. The codes are always in effect. Dude just decided not to participate in something they're trying to make it like some kind of aggression. shyt is funny.

Wait is it honestly a surprise? lol Almost everyone owned slaves back then even the writer of the anthem, he opposed the end of slavery. This was taught in my history class in HS.

That would be impossible.

 

[Morose Polymath]

i never knew this.


Listening to Tariqs poscast now and he is mentioning it too.

Link??

One of the reasons why I believe educating yourself is so important. Some people have no idea what they are taking pride in.

 

[Keep_It_Hip_Hop_Fam]

Keep spreading this over social media.... If the anthem is ever rewritten those tears falling down their eyes will bring me great joy

If anything, you expecting people to know every tidbit of information in this vast ocean of knowledge suggests that you might be the one who's young, naive, or straight blind.

You should be pushing people to obtain more knowledge, not condemning those who are in the process of doing so.

Well, the thing is there is that the article's author has nothing to back up his claim that the third verse originally had those lyrics. It's been over 200 years and "now", they are finding that out? Or maybe someone can just make that stuff up, post it on the Internet, and it's automatically the truth?

If they're your heroes, find new ones. Don't put that burden on athletes. That's a problem in of itself

When they consist of the majority of black people in the public eye they have to speak up.

Let's not forgot OP made a thread and said Blacks should be "more patriotic".

It all comes down to perspective.

You're NOT leaving.

Most of you aren't.

And those of you that are thinking of leaving, really don't have the balls to do so.

Statistically of those that do that amounts to insignificant numbers of people

So lets drop this "back to Africa" shyt.

You're here. Act like it. Live like it

Do you nikkas research before you spout dumb shyt or nah. You nationalistic mfs are always so skeptical of the evil shyt the country does like you didn't clearly learn about it in school growing up
